The crazy 2000 lb Cayman S AX car project. Being a decade long 914 owner I'm always trying to get same feeling 914 brings in my more modern cars. With Cayman S that means getting nearly 10000 lbs out of the car. It's a long tedious project for garage project but hey here it is. Down to roughly 2150 lbs and that's with wide body and aero . Still have another easy 100 lbs to remove from dash and other places. I knew I'd get close as my 1975 lb Boxster project car had full cage and mostly steel body panels and doors.

that's really cool and I'm all for being as light as possible, but I'd find it really hard to get under 2000lbs wet with mostly steel body panels. Especially without compromising structural integrity - unless you go full tube frame and cut out all the inner structure.
My 93 BMW E36 was 2450 wet with full cage and I was very creative at eliminating weight. So what all did you eliminate? rather, what do you still HAVE? |
