Lightest Cayman S

[Cayman48]

Hello

I currently have a 293hp lotus elise honda s1 but I would like to change.

I would like a rear center engine and a very low weight, so a light race prerared Porsche Cayman S (between 2006 2009) could be a good deal but how light can it be ? Keeping it barely road legal (means keep lights for example) and with safety devices (as a roll cage)

I'm not asking "how to" (I know how to) but I just would like some numbers.

Unfortunately I could not find an answer on the web whereas there is goog threads on others car.

If I want to change it´s because I'm very tall and I dont fit well in my elise. I already had a stock Cayman S by the past and they are great cars.

In France there is a championship call "cayman cup", cars weight 2843lbs (1290kg) but it´s not the lightest possible from far and it´s too heavy in my opinion.

Hope you will be able to help me as always on pistonheads.


Vive l'Angleterre !

Thanks

I know the first and the third, spoke to both of the sellers yet.

First one says we can easily make it 1100kg but I want to check.

My question still on...if someone who knows pass by.

Thanks for your contribution !

To I know Joseph : Yes I spoke to SVP last week, they say they can make it 1100kg easily and barely streetable (but it's what I'm looking for). Despite I want to believe them as I'm more of a guy who believes what people say (unless I know that I'm speaking to an idiot), I'm Doubtful. So I want to make sure.
I would be very happy with 1100kg WITHOUT DRIVER, they even told me they have a race car at 950kg !! but no lights and so on...

To The Goose :This is an answer I like. Would you be able to guess an approximate minimum weight ? Does 1100kg or less seems doable for you ?
Your rules says 1275kg minimum wich is almost the same as Porsche french Cayman cup championship (1290kg).


Thanks for your contribution to all of you.

1230 Kilos at the moment, but we will take another 100-120 kilos over the winter.

Nice !
You already have plastic Windows and some light body panels, where do you think you can get 100/120kg less. ?
