Whats crazy is that the motor on the Porsche Carrera GT only weighs 280lbs! Its made of titanium.

No it doesn't and no its not. It weighs 472lbs and only its connecting rods are titanium.

 

Thanks, man. I stole if from somewhere and have been dying to use it for ages.

 

Sorry, but you're wrong. It weighs 282lbs and heres the proof:

But you are right about the titanium connecting rods.

I wonder what they are weighing, surely not the whole motor. Maybe the block. Motortrend says 472lbs other places say 452, that is more believable than 280lbs. Even if everything was made of titanium a fully assembled motor displacing 5.7l would weigh more than 280. The only thing they say is made of titanium is the connecting rods, the rest they say is
"made exclusively of light alloy" I'm guessing aluminum or magnesium seeing as it would be difficult and excessively expensive to make a cast titanium alloy block.
I'm not sure but it sounds like that article is refering to their le mans race car and not the production car.
