Hi

In terms of weight, there is something new.

With the use of the rear wing years ago, the attachments for the folding spoiler remained for lack of alternatives.
About an acquaintance I got now the R8 GT rear panel.

With the use of this one-piece panel many items could be disposed of, which resulted in a weight saving of 1.75Kg.





Looking through the Audi spare parts catalog and researching my employer VW,
I found out that the Spyder B & O amplifier has a magnesium heat sink,
making it 0.5Kg lighter than the aluminum amplifier on the Coupe.

Alu 1655g


Magnesium 1070g

Wow, changing the heatsink on the amplifier... this has gone way beyond weight weenie status.

Hi

Expanded metal mesh instead of the ugly plastic grille looks really good.
In addition, it has significantly less weight.

Make sure you put in your garage Tom as your R8 may blow away in a strong wind
