On Vekke's other thread "Audi A8..registered.." we established a weight of 3240 Lbs. Maybe thats because of aluminum monocoque body and reduced engine weight. It has up sized turbo for a Mark 4 1.9 TDI on his 1.2 TDI so its capable of moving the standard car nicely even without e-assist.
Any advise for dieting without effecting mental acuity would be greatly appreciated. At 48 I have to be ultra stringent to see any reduction. I could stand to loose 50 lbs but I'm not that long suffering.
