I wonder what weight reduction is possible by replacing body panels with aluminum or carbon fiber, glass with Lexan, and NOT doing all that drillium? If you want to go further and blow even more money, remake as many steel components as possible in titanium.

The front fenders, hood, and front bumper are all fiberglass. The seats were custom made fiberglass. The gas tank is a plastic Porsche racing. The windshield is lexan and I think all of the other windows are lexan. Some other stuff was fabricated in aluminum. They swapped an old Al case motor for a Mg case motor.

I think this thing is considerably lighter than the 911R, so they used all/most of the original tricks, plus added a bunch more.
