Please note that there are no factory weight "savings", just factory weight "increases". The stated 1375 kg for the car is with every single lightweight option ticked and nothing else added (lightest possible spec). Anyone who wants to reach a 1375 kg car need to spec it exactly as follows:

- PCCB
- No AC
- No Clubsport cage
- Li-Ion battery
- Lightweight bucket seats
- Halogen lights ("lightweight" lights)
- Radio delete
- 67 l tank (90% full, or a 90 l tank, 67% full)
- White car (I think Porsche told med that the grey and blue colour weighs a few kg more than white)

Did I forget anything?

So noted, and yes I believe you have accurately indicated the lightest spec available from the factory. My original thread was to indicate the options that either add or save weight. On the USA configurator at least, halogen headlights, radio and AC delete, and lightweight battery are all options that you must select. Default spec is to have a basic sound system, AC, and xenon headlights.

I did not know that non-white paint added weight, and will add that to the original post.

Thanks for the info!

There are two BBS wheels - the 3 piece (TRAKCAR has them) and the Monoblocks.
