    Preword: I know this was just a bit.
    Actually, mathematically speaking, if you were to scale that car up, assuming it's 1/10 scale and that all costs remain proportional to the material costs, it would cost £10,000.00. because in this case, we are dealing with volume, so if you multiply every dimension by 10, the volume of material is multiplied by 1,000. The cost of the engine is between 120,000 and 140,000 pounds, bringing the price up to at least £70,000, if you apply the same principle as Jeremy in the video. a transmission for an rs4 costs about £2,300.00, raising the price to £71,000. An actual Audi rs4 costs £100,000 at least. This means that if you were to scale up and produce the toy car, it will only be slightly cheaper than the real deal if you only make it technically drivable, there would be no suspension to speak of, giant toy tires, no heat, air conditioning, stereo, power windos, or adustable windows for that matter, or even lights. in short, you could make it cheaper, but in order to make it technically drivable, not legally, not advisable, not safely, just technically, you would be paying for an Audi A8, which is a fully funcional, safe, and legal car to drive.

  • @TimpBizkit
    @TimpBizkit 6 років тому +2

    I've always remarked at the strength of toy cars compared to real ones, but take a simple scale factor of 1:10. The cross sectional area of the metal increases 100 x for the real car, but the weight increases 1000 x meaning the real car is 10 x weaker for its weight. Given that toy cars also use thicker metal relative to their size, you can see why they are so strong.
    Now what scales even more poorly than strength is kinetic energy. Going 10 x the speed gives 100 x the energy so a real car going 60 mph vs a 1:10 scale going 6 mph is 100,000 x the energy to absorb in a collision.
    Cars are actually quite good value. A tonne of cheddar cheese costs around £6000 and you can buy quite a lot of cars for far less than that especially if you go second hand.

    Even though they are joking: Jeremy's toy car was 20 pound and 1:18 scale. Going full size means making it 18^3 = 5. 832 times as big.
    20 pounds * 18^3 = 116.640 pounds... Pretty expensive for just a chassis and working steering..

    I've been driving a 2006 Cadillac DTS for about three years. The only thing wrong with it is...well, nothing! I absolutely love the car and can find no really useful thing to say about it negatively. Some may attack the gas mileage but those are always empty arguments. Let me explain. First the mileage is really not bad, depending upon how you drive; Jeremy explained this perfectly in an episode of Top Gear where he raced a Toyota Prius and an M3 for gas mileage purposes. The M3 had better gas mileage. When driving any vehicle, including my Jetta TDI, I try to drive responsibly and save gas. Second some compare apples to oranges when saying that the DTS gets worse gas mileage than, for example, a Toyota Prius. But when one considers the total use of the vehicle being a five passenger, large trunk, heavy suspension, powerful engine, we may find that maximizing it's capacity (five people and their luggage) compared to maximizing the capacity of a smaller car that supposedly holds five persons with their luggage the DTS gas mileage does not drop appreciable whereas as the smaller car's mileage drops significantly. This does not even take into consideration the comfort ride of a car like this, and on a long trip small cars just are not comfortable like a bigger car such as the DTS. I'll take the Cadillac SUV any day over some of the smaller vehicles out there, especially for the type of major long distance driving we have to do here in North America.

    In 1998 it cost Chrysler corp just over $6,000 to build a Durango. That included everything from the parts to the salary's of the assemblers and everything in between. It was sold to dealers for no less than (by federal "anti-dumping" laws) $16,000 and sat on the showroom floors with a $35,000+ price tag.
    THAT'S why they cost so much.
    Bonus fact:: The only plant in the world that produced the Durango (until the 20teens) in Newark, DE... made up to 1,500 in a single day. Meaning that single assembly plant created $1.5 million in profit every single day it operated.

      People have wanted big vehicles forever here. Because apparently unlike the rest of the world, we enjoy being able to ride without our knees being infused with our ribs. Extra headroom is always appreciated so you don't have to fold your spine to get in and out of it, or have your head rub across the ceiling when you move even slightly. It's just a much more comfortable experience. More room in the back is extremely handy too, even if you're only driving yourself around. Have made use of that space countless times.
