ok. But did you know that that number is inversely proportional to driving pleasure, right? pay no attention to it, in the end it's definitely lower

20mm spacers on the front too? doesn't that interfere with the steering since it is 35mm lowered? in any case it looks good!

let me tell you my opinion... these cars are made to tranform gasoline into smiles, not to turn gasoline into trips from A to B. Don't be shy and push that pedal! I mean even without exceeding the speed limits you can very well consume more than that. Anyway, just for you @shyVRS245

Your mpgs are incredible. To get these results I guess it takes a lot of patience, that I certainly don't have! With all good will the best I managed to achieve was 12,5 km/lt - 35 mpg as an average for a full tank of gasoline (on stage1).

If you only had a better fuel economy you could get a 678.9 trip...

272 Superb OPF stageIII
14 kg in my case but i didn't consider it because i think (but i'm not sure) that I added something with the 390mm bbk. My 19x8'' trinity are 14.3 kg, the Racingline R360 19x8.5 are 10.8 kg.

I'd say your weight is similar to mine and @newbie69's, considering the extra weight of my "bells and whistles" model...

19” wheels road noise
I understand that a good winter tire is essential in sweden. IMO it should be like this everywhere. But here in Italy it's the exact opposite... Are yours PS4 or PS4S? I didn't know that these are even noisier than S001, I think when the time comes PS4 should be the right choice to replace my S001. But I was hoping these were quieter.

Nope Yes, if we consider the differences in equipment and fuel it seems to me that the numbers are more or less the same. So I think that the specs are not correct, or at least that they refer to far from reality conditions.

272 Superb OPF stageIII
yes, i think that 1.554 kg are for base model with 272 engine. But apart from sunroof (35 kg?) and spare wheel (15 kg?) I don't get what could make that difference. Maybe I should subtract about 40kg of petrol (i had just refueled). In that case from specs the car should weight 1.554 + 35 + 15 + 40 = 1.644 kg. But there are always 40 kg of difference. Or maybe the base model comes without seats and doors?

Out of pure curiosity I wanted to weigh the car. From the spec it should be 1629 kg for the 2.0 tsi 4x4 sedan, including the 75 kg driver. In fact it turned out that it weighs 1685 kg. Trunk empty, without driver and full tank.

272 Superb OPF stageIII
I have to admit that when i bought my 272 Superb I didn't have full knowledge of this 2.0 tsi engine. I had two other options: a new Audi A4 (2.0 TSI 185kw 4x4) or a 540i with 6.000 km on the clock. Superb was the cheaper one. And it was my wife’s option n.1 (after this i’m sure you’ll understand i only had the illusion of choice, but I like to think that the choice was mine anyway). I did not have much expectations from this engine, only because i didn’t know it’s potential. After first 1.500 km driven as slow as imposed by the manual, i got 18.4 sec on 100-200, not to bad related to my expectations, but not exactly exciting. So i went to my tuner, (he had already remapped my Octavia II 2.0 tdi 140), asked for a stage1 remap. Another 1.000 km driven and the 100-200 time was 12.5 sec, with an incredible 0-100 in 4,3 sec. Quarter mile in 12,52. So I started looking for information about my DNUA engine, and little by little I understood what I had really bought. I thought I should enjoy the full potential of the engine, and this idea crept into me. I wanted it to look as original as possible, especially in terms of noise, so I had first to find a catted downpipe, and for DNU engine i had to wait till october 2019 when Milltek made a downpipe for the new Audi S3 OPF with hjs 200cell cat. Then i searched for big turbo, i didn’t want to compromise so I chose the TTE535. It took quite a long time to find the right to me big brake kit, in the end the choice fell back on vagbremtechnic kit that includes 6 pistons AP calipers, floating 390mm AP rotors and DS2500 brake pads. For sure oversized for street use, but safety first. Note that this kit fitted perfect with Racingline R360 wheels without spacers. Due to covid-19 lockdown i had to wait till may, and then we started with: Millteck downpipe with HJS 200 cell cat TTE535 turbo Racingline R600, silicone inlet hose and inlet pipe Forge intercooler and silicone hose kit Autotech HPFP upgrade Racingline oil management system Dsg has been remapped but ecu map has to be completed, it’s taking more time than expected. Aside from the performance, for now the only thing i can say is about the noise: exactly what i wanted. Driving in D feels completely stock, so no unwanted attention while driving quietly in the city. But over 3.500 rpm it becomes music. Really, i didn’t know that this 4 cyl engine could sound pretty good. No pops and bangs, no dsg farts, just only the engine with a TTE535 whistle… almost intrusive, but lovely.
