Does anybody know the exakt weight savings for..

- Manual seats over electrical seats ?
- Super-lightweight wheels over lightweight weels ? (there are 10 Kg over standard wheels I was told)
- Sports exhaust over standard exhaust ?
- Steel brakes over carbon brakes ?

The biggest saving of all are the standard non electic seats,not sure but probably 30 kg plus,but the driver seat does come with electic height ajustment,so it could be lighter,all the carbon extras only save a maximum of 3 and a bit kilos,as for the exhaust the inconel exhaust is only approx 1 kilo lighter as they homolgated a lighter version of the original SS one.
The brakes are very similar only 1 kilo or so! and the wheels are a further 10% lighter so probably no more than a handfull of kilos.
All in all if you are after weight saving 75% of it will come from non-electric seats

Cheapest and easiest way to save weight and money is to go on a diet unless your built like Andy, all the carbon bits are really automotive bling giving you bragging rights over fiat drivers down there pub over a slim line tonic

I'm 70 kg currently, so 30 kg of weight saving by leaving out the electric seats makes sense to me
As I am the only driver of my car anyway I don't need those electric seats.

The carbon is just bling bling, agreed. But I like it nonetheless.

Could you dump in aftermarket bucket seats like Recaro SPG Pole Positions or something similar? Should save a bunch of weight

 

[McDc]

Depends if the side airbag sits in the seat itself or the door/side panels.

If it sits in the side panels, a pole position (no SPG) should be possible, but very likely a custom made console would be required.
