My original point was that you could tell a new 911 as being a 911, unlike BMW. Sure, weight and size has been added, but not nearly as much as other cars. I would bet that my 992 is lighter than ANY production BMW from the last 10 years, including the M4 GTS.
True...a 95 993 Carrera came in at 3,080 lb. (curb) vs. a 21 992 Carrera at 3,354 lb. (curb). A difference of 274 lb...not bad for 25 years of progress and tons of added safety/tech. Many cars in that class are pushing close to 4k lb.
Edit: OT but I just noticed there seems to be an ongoing online bidding for this particular special edition vehicle that I yesterday randomly googled and linked (in case someone's interested). Apparently, a Belgian private collector is selling it: https://www.carsanddrive.com/ Almost 300k€ has already been bid, although it's such a shame if this beautiful car just ends up collecting dust somewhere....

Whatever the aerokit car color is, I’m digging it. That’s a great blue.

Folks also forget that the 996 weighed LESS than the 993 despite having a water cooled engine. It came in at under 3,000 lbs.

Manual transmission 992: 3262 lbs (180 pounds more than the 993)

Thank god for aluminum, high strength plastics and to some extent carbon.
Interesting. Good info. Probably a more "fair" comparison would be the 993 Turbo (from an HP perspective, since both are over 408 HP and both have turbos) and IIRC the 993 Turbo was over 3,300 pounds.

This color is available through PTS but will cost you assuming you can get a build slot. i believe it is currently just called 39E without the L. Not sure what the "L" designated in the original color code though.
