How the hell did you managed to reduce the weight to only 1410 KG and how did you weigh the car?.

Hi

I used first all parts of the R8 Gt and to then everything is still lighter than the original part.
Front hood made of carbon, OZ rims Superforgiata, screws made of aluminum and titanium.

The weight can be determined with us on a public calibrated truck weighing station.
Tolerance of this Weigh Station + / - 5Kg and user with by police.

You know you are quoting 200kg less than a GT which is already about 100kg less than a regular V10. I'm shocked TBO.

I don't believe the MY12, no way the dsg adds that much weight

[Brooner]

You see the gear box its fecking huge
Here's a picture of the RS4 DSG on the bench its a big old lump i would think it would be a similar set up in the New R8's with a few modification's
