Thats the thing though, No other test of both the Turbo S and R8 have been under 1600kgs, So how in the hell did they get that weight?..

And again also the R8s tyres.

But a magazine cannot "measure" a dry weight. unless they simply put down what they were told to write

audi claims a dry weight of 1454 kg for the 2016 r8 v10 plus.

BR2+ 9y ago

It says the R8 was running on MPSC2s, Correct me if im wrong, But that isnt an option? Or am i mistaken?..

ive looked at the Audi website, A fully loaded R8 V10 Plus with every option is £172,355, I can find the tyre size, But havent been able to find anything about MPSC2s

Also, 1525kg for the Turbo? 1682kg for the GTR? 1565kg for the R8? Cant read German, But that HAS to be DRY weight, Has to be.

saxy 9y ago

Oh wow, the 911 was lighter than the R8. 1525kg isn't bad at all.
