I was too, but Imran did mention they have more changes planned for the car like lighter wheels.

Well, you can really tell from this video where all the weight is in the car. Look at all the bracing! That shear plate is enormous but all the parts underneath and in the rear under those aero shields...damn, it's like an aluminum tubing factory exploded under there.

But the result is crazy. Crazy planted and crazy competent. You can understand, though, why Porsche has a benefit: because the car is a dedicated sports car, all that bracing is engineered into the unibody, and doesn't have to be bolted on. 2 series starts with a much more pedestrian unibody and has to bolt it on.

Love this guy and I’m leaning Brooklyn gray so it’s even more fun to watch the build.
