- The interior also includes a badge with the Weissach package logo on the passenger side, headrests with an embroidered Weissach package logo, and enclosed 6-point seat belts for both the driver and passenger side in black.
Chassis:
- The stabilizers on the front and rear axle, coupling rods on the rear axle, and the thrust field are all made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP).

The Weissach package reduces the weight of the 911 GT3 RS by over 22 kg compared to the same model with an optional Clubsport package.
Please note that the rear roll cage made of carbon does not have FIA-GT or DMSB approval, and it cannot be extended to the front to form a full cage. This package is only offered in combination with full bucket seats, which are standard equipment.
Regarding the steering wheel, it's worth noting that it comes with extra knobs and a carbon fiber cover frame, enhancing the vehicle's control and handling experience. The magnesium paddles form a significant part of the steering wheel assembly and are designed to provide optimal tactile feedback during gear changes.
