    Unbelievably light ! How many drills bits did he go thru ? There's a real art in getting the weight down but maintaining the strength as well as making it look great. externally it doesnt look that "lightweight" until you look inside where he has done an amazing job.

    My 911R recreation weighed in around 890 kgs but his low 600 kg weight is amazing. They always say lose the weight rather than adding HP and this is a prime example.

    Will be amazing to see it if they get the weight down lower as he has mentioned.

    Thanks for posting the link.

            Watched this one too. Obsessive doesnt begin to describe his efforts to build the lightest 911 ever. 599 kgs is so light who needs a jack to change a wheel ?
