The Weissach package enhances look and performance. The developers have also reduced the weight further with lightweight construction features. For example, the front lid, vehicle roof and upper shells of the exterior mirrors are made of carbon-weave finish. The double rear wing with large Porsche logo is also partly made of this high-tech material. Rear axle components such as the stabilisers, coupling rod and shear panel are made of carbon. The resulting reduced unsprung mass further improves handling. In conjunction with the Weissach package, special lightweight magnesium forged wheels are also available. They are more than 20 per cent lighter compared to the standard aluminium wheels.

Carbon-weave finish (satin finish) is also used in the interior – on the steering wheel trim and the interior door handles. The top of the dashboard is trimmed in Race-Tex and is not only elegant to look at, but also reduces reflections, just like the flocked versions in thoroughbred racing cars comfort. Another highlight is the magnesium shift paddles of the Porsche dual clutch transmission (PDK). The magnetic haptic elements derived from the setup 911 GT3 Cup give them an even crisper force-path curve. They allow a higher operating force and provide precise acoustic…
