except those in China

 

Yup, cant let China get it's hands on all the weight saving technology.

No two ways about it. You will end up paying more for less.

Lighter weight = lighter wallet in Porsche's term.  

Wow, I'll bet those carbon fibre "wing" mirrors transform the handling. Perhaps Porsche could tell us just how much weight exactly they save, I can't imagine that the original ABS? ones are especially heavy. Presumably they have junked the electric motors which add weight and are invariably used just once each time the car has a new owner? It's reassuring to know that they have been fully track-tested!
