I think there's quite alot of "winding up" going on in this thread By the way thank God they haven't fitted a wind-up radioWing Commander wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 6:38 pmJon A wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 6:05 pmWell it would make the car much lighter!

On that basis, they should/could ditch electric seats, windows and sun roofs!
Sadly not. My car was marketed as a lightweight 911, but they only really paid lip service to that aspect (although I love my car & the ‘lightweight’ approach was not a big factor for me).
So they could have gone for things like wind-up windows and completely manual seats (mine are 4-ways). Needless to say, I didn’t spethere's n roof, PDK or other weight-adding options like rear axle steer or front axle lift.
