Radio delete was 6.6lbs in 997 RS. Call it 7-8lbs in 991 if we’re being generous. The real juice is in A/C delete, which cuts close to 40lbs from the right place, and of course the Mg wheels.
Kind of odd that they taped over the steering wheel emblem in that video. That video must horrify the bubble-wrapper and tire-cracker crowd 😂

It may have some weight savings but I doubt it will be that much 18Kg? The screen for the backup camera is the same screen for the radio display. So the radio unit by itself probably is anywhere between five to eight pounds? Maybe someone can pitch in.

I am not sure. I have a 991.1 GT3RS and a 991.2 GT3. They may be similar but will have to check behind the center console which can be a pain due to limited space.
The weight of the wiring harness if they are even different should be miniscule in terms of weight difference. I would be more concerned about the radio unit in itself being more significant in weight than the wiring harness.
There is some discussion about this on this thread:

I think besides the weight reduction, the aesthetics of it having exposed carbon fiber frunk and roof, for better looks which are not available on the GT2RS is another reason people are getting the WP.

I am looking at it this way. WP is 38% more than PTS assuming pricing of PTS on RS holds true to GT3. For 28% more, you do get quite a lot more (exposed carbon on almost half the car, an instantly recognizable .2 GT3 RS for those in the know, carbon steering wheel surround, and a plaque (joking on this one). So yes I will select WP and not PTS assuming the allocation comes.
