Can someone explain to me what the following weights are the VIN?

My car being JDM doesnt have this info so a bit curious as the 1610kg suggests the weight of the car which doesnt correspond to the weights I have in the book.

Its not Axle weight and max. towing weight is it?

I know a towing hook on an NSX seems barmy but just maybe?

I think the top number is Gross Vehicle weight which how heavy the car is allowed to be when laden i.e. with passengers, a full fuel tank and boot full of stuff.

The two smaller numbers are maximum front and rear axle loads.

Mark's correct. Max Gross Weight and the front/rear Max Axle Weights.
