Lightest version of Emira is 4-cylinder w/DCT at 1405kg(3097lbs). That is EU kurb weight(which includes fluids, 90% fuel, 75kg driver). DIN weight is 1330kg(2932). DIN weight is EU kerb weight minus 75kg ballast for driver.

Cayman S w/ PDK DIN weight is 1385kg(3053lbs). Emira in similar spec is 121lbs lighter.

The Emira 4-cylinder sub 3,000lbs is quite impressive these days.
