Weight is the enemy of fuel economy on the highway and quick lap times on the track. Porsche has one solution in the form of a lithium-ion replacement starter (main) battery that weighs in at just 13 pounds vs. 35 pounds for the traditional lead acid battery. “Less weight naturally means greater agility and driving dynamics,” Porsche notes in its release. This four-cell battery runs $1,700 which, Porschephiles will be quick to agree, isn’t all that much for a Porsche option. It’s available on the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3, 911 GT3 RS, and Boxster Spyder. You get the standard lead acid battery as well and the two can be quickly swapped for track days.
