Another thing i've just noticed is it only has a 50 ltr tank as opposed to the mk6's 55 ltr.
Weight saving.
All of about 3.5 kg saved in fuel plus negligible reduction in weight of tank itself. How pointless.
Only reasonable explanation would be that they couldn't physically fit a 55l tank, which I find hard to believe.
New S3 also has measly 50l tank. Maybe they would have been better off saving weight on that one by halving the number of exhausts?
