Hello,
I just noticed on my registration card (UAE) that my Macan Turbo weighs 2110 kg(without driver). On Porsche's website they say it is 1925 kg. It is nearly full option but is it possible to have nearly 200 kg of options? Isn't that a lot?
My question is how much do options like (pdcc, torque vectoring, burmester, pasm) add on a 911.
Has somebody weighed his car and checked the difference between porsche's figures and his own measurments?
I guess performance will be affected a lot. I noticed also that i was always 0.8s slower to 60 than what porsche claims, but I measured it with my iphone....
I would be thankful if you could share your experiences on 911s

I remember looking up weights of different options a while ago. PDCC was pretty heavy, seats with a lot of adjustments and features are heavy. Sunroof is heavy too. I doubt PASM or burmester add much if any weight.

The added weight of options is not as important to handling as where the weight is on the vehicle. Sunroof and cabriolet top mechanisms are higher off the ground than seat adjustment or chassis options such as PDCC or heavier springs & anti-roll bars.
I test drove a new dual motor Tesla S last year and the cornering with all the battery weight spread under the floorboards was phenomenal.

Use the my Porsche app, it will give you actual weight, options etc from your particular vin.
my 18 991.2 base pdk w the power seats and sunroof is still just 3195 lbs. I suspect full leather is one of the heavier options. Sunroof is going to be heavier, and worse it’s up high…

This reading from corner balance scales
Easy way to get your weight is to go on a truck scale

My 991.1 GTS weighs at least 800 pounds more than a Lotus Exige 430 Cup that has the same power and torque. Not argueing as to which I would rather own, but cars for a few decades have been porkers with tons of crap nobody needs.
