Audi debuts redesigned five-door A3 Sportback
> High-end components of hot-shaped steel in the occupant cell form a
> strong, yet lightweight structure. They comprise a large portion of
> the body and are a major factor behind the weight savings of 37
> kilograms (81.57 lb) in the occupant cell. High- and
> ultra-high-strength steels are used in many other areas. The engine
> hood, the fenders, the profile behind the front bumper and the
> subframe for the front axle are made of aluminum. Together they save
> roughly 12 kilograms (26.46 lb) and thus improve axle load
> distribution.
It's a frontwheel driver for crissakes, not a bmw 1xx.
who cares about its weight distribution?
as long as you get the left to right weight distribution of that
contraption
close to half and half the target clientele won't utter a word of
complaint
