....as Colin Chapman said, “Add lightness.”
50 pounds, added to the TOP of the car, is a whole lot of not good.
Our 986 has a MAGNESIUM convertible top frame!
Think about that.
It was so critical to Porsche to drop the weight of the top, they used one of the most expensive metals on the planet to make their top out of in order to make it as light as possible.
It’s a SPORTS car.
You want a retractable hard top? You don’t want a sports car. Go buy a Mercedes or BMW and pretend you are driving a sports car.
MAZDA did it because they are a challenger brand and needed something different to spark sales of a car that has been around since 1990 in a shrinking sports car market world because more people like you exist who don’t want to make the sacrifices needed to drive a real Sports Car.
