I don't think the engineers are looking at total weight reduction. But, unsprung weight reduction. Makes a difference in handling.

Someone suggested it was for inexpensive weight saving. Audi probably has something else in mind.

Weight savings seems dubious.

BMW puts a carbon roof on its 4,400lb M6 GC, which competes directly with the RS7, so I don't see how this is all that outlandish (in terms of what carmakers will do to make people think the car is special, not in terms of how far they'll go to save a tenth of a percent or so of weight).

I was just at laguna and the three fastest cars of the day where gt3s. One Miata in the top ten and it was a completely dedicated track car. These gt3s then drove home as the Miata was trailered home. Not sure where you get the idea a Miata dusts a gt3 lol.

Not bashing on Porsche either. I like Porsche but I can't afford one haha
also it depends on driver. Usually the gt3 ppl are elderly and the Miata ppl are younger. Not saying younger r better but youngsters have more energy.
