A ‘build your own’ project

If you desire a lightweight Porsche 911 for the driving experience rather than its investment potential, then why not build your own? There’s a wealth of information available, and if you’re able to find a good G-series Porsche 911 as a baseline, you can create a lightweight, track-focused car like this SC we recently featured. With the heavy-impact bumpers, polycarbonate windows, lightweight seats and carpets removed, this car is under 1,000 kilograms. This simple 3.0-litre 911 punches above its weight, and with Boxster front brakes and a good chassis setup, it’s just the thing for a spot of giant-killing on the track.
