RS6 payload

Post by MRB » Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:04 am

I have to pick up some tiles in my 2004 RS6 with coil springs replacing the DRS. They weigh about 600kgs which i think is about the payload but i cannot find out exactly. I guess two trips are safest but wondered whether 1 should be ok. Any thoughts?

Just spread them around in the car.
Front floor
Rear pass floor
And luggage area.
Will only be the same as 5 large people in the car.

Oh, and change the title to 6 from 5

From the web:
curb weight is 1686kg, max permissible weight is 2,215kg
So 529 kg's to play with.

Remember to pump the tires up too.

Never knew the RS6 had a DRS? ;)

Oh - hang on - are we talking rs5 or 6 here?
