Carbon fiber body panels, carbon ceramic brakes, a titanium exhaust, and a magnesium roof cut weight to only 3085 pounds (even interior door handles are too heavy for this Porsche, so instead there are red pull straps).
ah the good old days.
My 911 SC had air conditioning, power windows and real metal inside door handles, and it weighed 2660 lubs with a spare tire and some extra tools in the BOOOOT.

If it was soooo easy to keep the weight down then, why can't they do it now? Rhetorical. Nanny gubmints are HEAVY!

edit: missed this little tidbit, seems perfectly reasonable!

A $31,000 Weissach package drops 40 pounds with magnesium wheels and even more carbon fiber.
That's less that $1000 per pound, what a deal!
