Hi

As regards optics some was changed at the R8.

The rear tray and the back panel trim were renewed by parts from alcantara. ( - 0,5Kg )

Image

A new steering wheel of the face lift was installed.
Image

The alcantara cover above speedometer was renewed by the part of carbon. ( -1Kg )

That the engine gets more air, those ones became air intake of the R8 GT, into the rear lid installs.

Was replaced, the inner trim of the rear lid, through parts of carbon. ( -1Kg )

Image

Air intake R8 GT in the air filter castes.

Hi

The series rear tray is covered with heavy floor cover and weighs opposite Alcantara clearly more.

The carbon cover is in a balloon body constructed and the series part of full material.

Hey Tom

You are clearly very dedicated to saving weight!

So how much weight in total have you saved?

I believe this was covered previously in the thread, it includes removal of the front drive-train parts to make it RWD. With his latest updates, that's another 12kgs... this is truly a special type of retarded devotion.

RWD!

Yeah. Blimey. I'd forgotten about that.

Still - this thread should have a running total weight saving. I tried reading through a few pages to find where the weight saving total was mentioned but now my head hurts.
