1,120 kg (2469 lbs) and AWD .

To achieve the weight reduction of 350kg, the Porsche 911 C4 Leichtbau's cockpit was stripped of all plastic and leather materials and featured Recaro seats and a steering wheel provided by Momo Design. Doors and the front lid were aluminum. Side windows were lexan, and the bumpers and RS rear spoiler were plastic. The fixed rear spoiler was a modified version of the optional spoiler available on the Carrera 3.2, which is visually thinner than the spoiler used on a 964 Turbo.

The two knobs located centrally in the cockpit enabled the driver to adjust the amount of power front and rear.

Between '90 and '93 22 are thought to have left the factory. 3.6l engine delivered 265hp at 6750rpm. At the time it wasn't street legal, but today a few are known to have been registered. Values today are in the neighborhood of $400K.

Not to be an ass... but "Side windows were fiberglass"?? Sure they weren't lexan (polycarbonate)?

I'd settle for an RS America. A little more realistic at $50K.
