Trim Curb Weight

[Bernie Fen]

Again, my apologies in advance if there's already a threat regards to this. I've tried looking around the forum for keywords (specs, trim levels, curb weight etc) no luck. Just wanted to know each trim levels curb weight. I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet where all the specs are listed for each respective trim levels.

It is not defined by trim, only difference is between AWD and RWD.

GT: Heavy
GT1: Heavier
GT2: Heaviest
GT2AWD: Lose some weight fatty

I posted it in details a long time ago. Can't find it though.

I think what he was wondering was how much the GT1 and GT2 trims increases the curb weight. Extra electronics and sunroof all add measurable weight.

 

[nhcowboy28]

You can select trims on that. And it didn’t change the weight between trims.

Probably the sun roof adds most of the weight.

Gotta be 100# of up high weight.

I bet AWD adds 150# also.

Since a GT1 can be purchased with the Drive Wise package I'd think the different shifter, HUD, and Nappa leather of the GT2's weight will be neglible. Hell, it could possibly weigh less than a GT1 w/Drive Wise for all we know.

The real difference between models is AWD vs RWD.

AWD is 190# added on. Sunroof difference would be negligible, since solid steel is replaced by glass and a bit of hardware to move it.

which we know isn't accurate.

nah, GT2 would weigh more. GT2 has the power trunk, extra electronics and cameras, more adjustable seats, heated rear seats, probably missing something else. It's probably within 100 lbs of each other, but it's still something. A lot of people spend a lot of money to cut just 100 lbs off their weight.

about 60kg for the sunroof

Okay, since I don't know I'll take that as a given. How much does the same space in solid steel weigh?

I'm not sure what gauge the steel roof is, but can't be 60lbs for that size. I'd say a max of 20lbs with cross supports.

I was talking about the weight difference.
A full panorama sunroof adds 80kg of weight,
but the Stinger's "wide" sunroof is a little bit smaller so it adds 60kg. This is what I found searching other forums, but since it is not written in the specs, I can't be 100% sure. Some other source says 40kg..

 

[eflyguy]

More like 40-50lbs, not kg.

Standard sunroof including mechanism and bracing for a BMW M3 is 41.8lbs.

The M3 sunroof is not tilting and looks much smaller, also it is maybe made of lighter materials.
For reference, the optima panorama sunroof weighs 79.0kg.

My '18 GT1 RWD tipped a scale at 3,990 lbs with a full tank of fuel. It has ECS and a moonroof.

The AWD will out-accelerate the RWD (for obvious reasons) and has the same gas mileage rating. So who cares about the additional weight anyway?

Incorrect. Maybe with tuned cars in drag race conditions. Otherwise RWD is slightly faster and has better gas mileage (slightly too). On top of increased weight, AWD models have more drive train loss (about 20~30hp less at the wheels) then RWD ones.
