My understanding of the A8 is that the chassis, with structural
reinforcements, is 40% lighter Vs an equivalent steel chassis. Audi then
added a lot of luxo stuff, sound deadening and doo-dads that could not
otherwise be added, while still keeping the total weight below that of an
equivalent steel chassis without all the extras. So, you get a lot of
extra luxo stuff *and* lighter weight Vs the competition. I'm waiting for
the A8 5.0 40V. :)
