Default If Audi uses aluminum for the hood, I'd say maybe 1 pound.

If they use steel maybe 25 or so.

Default Not one pound but maybe like 10 or so... Someone recently posted weight specs on oem and cf

Audi's hood is pretty light as is though. Truthfully if you are looking to save weight don't go to your hood to do so, but rather to your seats or interior trimings. Look at the hood as a more aesthetic piece. I mean I personally love the CF look where as I know many do not. Besides seats id say spare tire, new bbk kits, wheels, and body kits (lack of) are really some of only ways to free up weight. Quttro makes the car quite heavy.
