01 Porsche GT3 RS sticker badge
A 992 GT3 RS weighs 1,525kg - 165kg more than the original 996 GT3 RS, which did without stuff like active aero, DRS and adaptive suspension. Still, in a sop to lightweighting you'll find no enamel badge at the end of the bonnet: the Stuttgart crest is replaced by a lacquered sticker.

One of the delightful lightweight details on Gordon Murray's T.50 is the spindly pedal setup. By using the sharpened edges as the anti-slip surface, Gordon managed to shave 300g from the mass of the pedals in his iconic McLaren F1, which were already works of titanium art.
