On that basis, they should/could ditch electric seats, windows and sun roofs! ;) :P
Well it would make the car much lighter! I think you are on to something there - I wonder if I can spec that?? 🤔

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. ;)
I think there's quite alot of "winding up" going on in this thread :D By the way thank God they haven't fitted a wind-up radio 😳
