So they can save close to 160lbs over M2C without even touching the interior. If they add manual AC, manual seats, lightweight door trim etc total weight savings can be near 200lbs.
Make it 6MT instead of M-DCT and approx. 25 kg is saved.

But I doubt that that's gonna happen, unfortunately (no 1M or Cayman GT4 'manual only' strategy). The 0-100 km/h and lap times fetishism. And as someone already pointed out, the test mule in this thread features paddles: omen.
