Talk about the irony!

For YEARS Audi has been trying to take weight out of the front of their cars. Tailpipes posts have suggested this as well as Audi's quest to reach the "magic" 50/50 weight distribution mark has been never ending.

So the irony? Going over the stats for the least sporty of all Audis (Q7) reveals it to be the closest yet to achieving that halo mark!

Official figures give it a 52/48 front/rear weight distribution! Irony indeed.

No, sure don't, but ironically, the weight disdribution won't even be near as good! LOL!:D

My guess, 57/43.

The RS 6 was listed at 59/41 but may have been optimistic.

Auto spies are quoting 55/45.

"Comment: Weight distribution:

The RS4's weight distribution is 55/45 front/rear. That is considerably more balanced than the stock A4, but not as good as the M3. Audi will engineer perfect weight distribution into their forcoming B8 platform, which is based on a completely new quattro torsen technology. "

So if true, better than I thought! But still no Q7 LOL!:p
