Remember when we used to make fun of cars for being 3,400 lbs? It wasn't that long ago.
The RS3 is the last good car currently on sale. I’d buy one if I wasn’t poor.
if the new rs4 weighs almost as much as the new m5 how much will the new rs6 weigh? what about the new v8 c63 seeing as the 4 cylinder variant already weighs 2.2 tonnes, did we judge the m5 too quickly? is it in fact a lightweight pioneer of the segment?
>>28853704How much more dangerous does adding even 1000 make the car in a collision
>>28854134F=m*a... so it's a function of how much that 1000 increases the weight.If a normal vehicle is 4k, then that additional 1k is a 25% increase in force given the same acceleration.
>>28854134not much. speed is much more of a significant factor.
>>28854134who cares about the other guy?
>>28854143seems like a lot>>28854194they are equally important>>28854235The issue is everybody will be driving a 6k+ lbs car.
>>28853723>>28853718I came here to say this
>>28854297>they are equally importantThey aren't. Speed is *much* more important.
>>28854194Kinetic energy is (mv^2)/2, so speed enters the equation squared, mass only linear.Higher mass can be somewhat compensated by better brakes.
