How do we know for certain that the new RS4
weighs 3900+ pounds?
I mean I dont doubt it, but perhaps I am in denial, as i was thinking about trading in te S for one of these, but this was while I was thinking it weighed 200-300 lb LESS than the S4, not 100lb more!

EVO magazine in GB weighed one...
they independently weighed every car in their recent "fast club" test. Can't remember the exact weight of the RS4, mag is at home. I'll post it later. It was, though, 90kg heavier than the "claimed" weight. The cars were weighed with full tank of gas & all other fluids, as opposed to claimed weights which are usually done completely dry (ie no oil, other fluids or fuel).

There's no reason to think the RS4 will weigh substantially less than an S4...
Yes, it has some lighter panels...but it shares the same body structure, and that is where the weight is. All the lightweight panels do is offset the heavier brakes, suspension, etc. that the RS4 carries. By how much, we'll see when the same source weighs both cars.
