We bolted the module down to the LITE BLOX carbon mounting bracket just like stock.
The LITE BLOX battery bolts to the mounting bracket with stainless button heads. The bracket has nice threaded inserts molded into the carbon so it’s an easy and clean install. Look at all that beautiful carbon fiber!
We bolted the LITE BLOX battery into place using the stock bolts.
Man that LITE BLOX battery looks beautiful in there! Look at all the carbon fiber that matches all of the other factory carbon fiber that the car has. The install is so neat and clean too. It looks like something out of a works car and looks way better than the optional Porsche OEM lightweight lithium battery. Too bad its all hidden by the cowl cover.
In this picture, you can really see how much lower in the chassis the LITE BLOX battery sits. This is going to have a big impact on the car’s CG.

The regular RS has a pretty light magnesium roof, the carbon one shaves 1.1 lbs off the top, not too much, more of a cosmetic and marketing thing. Lighter carpet and some minor interior stuff shave off another pound. I think most of the weight savings on the car side comes from the carbon sway bars, something like 11-12 lbs. The battery makes a bigger difference in CG height and weight distribution that any of these parts. The Weissach package wheels are not part of the car package but yet another option. These probably make a difference due to the compound effect of unsprung and rotating weight but it would be interesting to see if the stiffness is affected. I am not sure if you have seen Billy Johnson’s study of that on a GT3.

There is a chance that ultralight wheels can make the car slower.
