991.2 Carreras (Twin turbo 3.0 liter) are sort of overlooked as great track and Autocross cars. I started on lightweight 991.2 Carrera build a couple years ago. I started by ordering my 991.2 Carrera T with all lightweight options, carbonfiber seats with rear seat delete, lightweight glass, very few options . Car as delivered was about 3130 lbs.
My plan was to keep as much of stock body work and interior on the car as possible while drastically reducing weight. I started by replacing 50 lb plus battery with 11 lb lithium battery. Next I pulled steel headers and replaced with titanium . Stock muffler replaced with straight pipe muffler off the turbos. Next I had custom made forged 19 inch wheels made . 19x10.5 front with 295/25/19 vitour p1 and 19x12.5 rear with 345/25/19 vitour. AC delete as well. Lots of cosmetic plastics pulled from trunk and engine areas. Suspension uses gt3 lower control arms with Tractive coilovers. I installed AP racing calipers with two piece rotors. Engine is stock internals with a 91 octane tune and makes about 450 hp.
interior I wanted to keep close to street car so I pulled stereo out and stripped most of interior behind b columns . Left carpets in rear to help with sound and heat. I did pull my headliner as I am 6'4 and always was bumping my helmet . I replaced my heavy door cards with gt4 clubsport carbonfiber panels.
The car as it sits currently is about 2875lbs with 1/2 tank of fuel.
