World's lightest 911 video

May have been shown before...if so, sorry. Just insanity...but I love it.

I saw that on the tech site. Insane is the word. His goal was lightness and nothing else mattered. He made a car that might be fun in So Cal, with perfect weather and no rain. Useless as a real car for most any other purpose.

It is his car, he can do whatever he wants to his property and make it into his dream. It is just a car, and if that is what he wants to do, fine.

My 911 is a fat pig in comparison at 2,741 pounds but I have great air conditioning, and heaters, comfortable seats and I can drive it for 12 hours at a time and arrive feeling great. But that is MY design for a perfect 911, and not his.

Agree completely...useless for say. a 500 mile trip. Great as an exercise in how far the insanity can go. No seatbelts, for example...they weigh too much?

Interesting video and I admire his attention to detail but he really should have seat belts in that car.
