Default W12 service book weight
Hi all D3 W12 owners.
I am possibly considering a W12 as a second car, if I can find somewhere to keep it.

Could you please post your service book curb weight, I would especially be interested to see the difference between SWB and LWB.

Thanks

For D2's its on the first page of the service book, where it lists your engine code chassis no. etc
If you can find it that would be great, curious to see how it compares to Neil's

Thanks Neil, ouch! I was hoping it would be under 2000kg. Probably depends on options.
So I'm guessing the LWB is even heavier.

If you mean the link I put up that was just the A8 page there is a separate S8 page.

So that link has a link to this page for the D3 W12 lwb:

http://www.auto-data.net/en/?f=showCar&car_id=4828

…which gives the weight as

Weight 1995 kg.
Max weight 2545 kg.

Not entirely convinced about this data thought - elsewhere it says the wheels are 8.5 x 18 rims, which doesn't sound right?

That would explain it, cheers!

I read it as covering all engine options so expected it to be among them. After all, its an A8 with a different badge on, isn't it? All of those engine options on one page and a separate page for a single option? I suppose they have their reasons
