View Full Version : Weight distribution in 3.2 vs. 2.0T

Just out of curiosity, I went through the model guides to compare weights.
2.0T manual = ~3260 lbs
3.2 DSG = ~3660 lbs

My first reaction...HOLY F---G CRAP! Now the 2.0T DSG is only 70 lbs heavier than it's manual sibling, just for perspective.

The second thing I noticed is the weight distribution went from 60/40 to 58/42 on the 3.2. It's strange that the 3.2 gained 400 lbs and somehow the weight distribution has improved. The rear diff/running gear isn't THAT heavy!! And surely the 2 extra cylinders up front added a little weight. So what other junk did they put in the trunk of that 3.2 to come up with these numbers??

I never new the center diff was put back there. Apparently it's about ~+200lbs all in the back.
