3957 lbs / 1795 kg.

Couple of tidbits...19" wheels are STANDARD in US..this is not the case in other places. The RS 4 press events are soon..and the trade mags in the US will have their ability to test the car soon.

BTW, the source of this information is from within Audi...not at a dealership.

Default That's a realistic weight figure

Hi Steve,

Yeah, that sounds about right considering my S4 tips the scales at over 4k lbs. However, the 19" wheels are standard worldwide and the 18's are a no cost option. At least, that's what every ROW brochure I have seen says.

Cheers!

Default Ok, so they are not...

Standard in Germany, but they appear to be in most other countries. I don't think it matters that much as the 19's don't add any significant weight when comparing factory spec wheels.

Yes, I will be getting an RS4 sometime later this year.

Default i guess that underlines your previous observation about stage III B5's pulling harder

and where does that leave the power / weight ratio when compared to the B5 RS4?
