Not sure where they got their info but, Carfolio.com says...

"The S5 is also marginally heavier than the RS4 (1650 kg versus 1630 kg)."

And...

"The front wheel drive 3.2 A5 weighs in at 1495 kg, and the quattro version just 40 kg more, at 1535 kg."

If true, I think that makes S5 230 lbs lighter than the S4. Sounds good to me!<ul><li><a href="http://www.carfolio.com/">Carfolio.com</a></li></ul>

Contradicting themselves slightly, on their S5 spec page, they say the S5 is 1630 kg (3594 lbs).

I think the RS4 is 1650 kg, so that points to the S5 being 1630 kg, and that the text in the article is backwards.

So that would make the S5 275 lbs lighter than the S4?<ul><li><a href="http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=155089&amp;automobile-Audi">Carfolio.com S5 page</a></li></ul>

but oddly, the published performance figures have been virtually identical.

are they weighing these cars on the moon or in europe?

Interesting and very good!

Most magazines measure with a full fuel tank so this adds about 125 pounds.

I guess they weighed the RS4 with a tank full of buckshot.
