Default Kerb weight of AU XR8 220 Manual

Hi guys.

I am trying to find the kerb weight of my manual AU 3 220. I have been searching and searching online and there is surprisingly little weight info.

I had some old motor magazines that had it but I can't find them.

Can anyone help.

I am after the weight for AU XR8 220 Manual with IRS Sedan.

Thanks.

The brochure scans on this site will have that information in them but you should work on about 1590 kg.

Cheers

I will have a look, Thanks. The only number I can find online is 1664 but not sure how accurate that is.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. What spec is that with what options? Did you use a weigh bridge?

The brochures didn't cover mine unfortunately.

Had mine on the scales (weigh bridge) at the Motorplex twice..........First time it was n/a with Premo brakes, Azzuro rims, T5 gearbox and half a tank of fuel = 1650kg

Last time was with Blower, T56 gearbox, Brembos all round, Azzuro rims and half a tank of fuel = 1718kg

Hope that helps Pilot.

Mine's a XR8 220, manual, premium brakes, rebel body kit, standard 17" wheels, and it was on a public weigh bridge.
