That said, I understand Euro manufacturers tend to quote to a standard (DIN? SAE?), so their weights are wet, with a few gallons in the tank.
Magazine road tests are probably "real life", all fluids, with a full tank, maybe some luggage.
Some manufacturers might quote dry weight (or just outright lie).
The post originally was about a Cayenne S vs. a 997? Both N/A cars? |
Porsche always lists their weights dry. No oil, gas or in this case water. I know a 996 weighs more than my 94 turbo which weighs 3120 pounds with half a tank of fuel.
I understand this was a comment about N/A vs N/A I added the info regarding the turbo as a comparison. If the turbo is slightly quicker than the 997S at speed then the CS must be slower.
