I read an article in a Dutch magazine, they tested a 997 Carrera cabrio with the following options:
- PASM
- CD-changer
- 19" Classics
- Navigation system
- Bose sound system
- Sport Chrono
- Adaptative sport seats
- Heated seats
- Telephone
And a few others that are not significant.
The car has an empty weight of 1480kg but with the options described above the car increased it's weight with 60kg making it a 1540kg car.



I think that for once, Porsche was a bit optimistic with the 997S weight
Remember the result of the 997S supertest in Autosport magazine?
They tested a 997S Sport Chassis with PCCB in 8'05 minutes round the Nordschleife.
That car was weighted at 1461 kgs whereas it should have been 1406 kgs (with the 14 kgs saved thanks to PCCB!)
I asked the question a few weeks ago, but no replies.
Now I don't think adaptative sports seats are 50 kgs are they!!!
Oh well, less than 1500 for a multi talented sports car is still reasonnable compared to the opposition.
