General Weight distribution?

[Bartazar]

I'm struggling to find actual sources for this. Some spec sites mention 64% front, but did anyone actually measure it or is there a more official source?
Thanks

Can't answer directly but I guess we can makes some estimates from the base vehicle data;

Kerb Weight: 1060kg
Payload: 200kg
Max Permitted Total: 1260kg

Max Front Axle: 850kg
Max Rear Axle: 700kg
Sum: 1550kg

Front Distribution: 850/1260 = 55%
Rear Distibution: 700/1550 = 45%

Pure speculation of course

Yeah I looked at that too, but it could also be different due to suspension differences, frame design etc.
But yeah, I would probably expect something like that considering it's front wheel drive and front engine with no heavy components in the rear..
If only car scales would be cheaper..

I have a Reich Caravan Scale.

Typically 150 euros or less. Much cheaper than car scales. Only down side is you have to roll each wheel in turn over the scales measuring bar.

If you are trying to setup / adjust for motorsport and optimum weight distribution then these work, but not all four wheels at once whilst placing weights and adjusting suspension etc.
