I have plenty of issues with the 991, but weight isn't one of them. Porsche has done stunning, stunning thing regards keeping the weight under control.

As a reference point, something like an Aston V8 Vantage which is actually shorter in length and height, if a little wider, than the new 991, offers roughly similar power and it all-aluminium is about 300kg heavier than the 991.

It's bonkers to criticise the 991 based on weight. It's one of the new model's great achievements.
