You can take the plate off while racing, though. Besides, I'm pretty sure they painted the emblem for aerodynamic reasons, not for weight, as all you'd have to do is eat a donut before getting in the car to make the measures taken to lose the weight the emblem pointless.
@@DominikMaslyk they do for the military, but otherwise no. Although i think it is sometimes aviable on trailers or farming equipment such as tractors and stuff.
I doubt it's for weight. Likely for aerodynamic reasons. There's no way they did that to save a few grams when all the driver has to do is take a sip of water before getting into the car to make the weight savings pointless.
I always wondered. At the point where you take off the badge to save weight, wouldn’t it just be better to tell the owner to hit the gym and lose a few pounds?? I mean it probably has more of an effect than taking off the badge
I’ve never had a good impression about Shmee , too much forced smiling. For hm not to raise the aerodynamic implications, yet mention weight Is shockingly disappointing
It's definitely not for weight. If that was the case they would be using very basic paint. 18 layers can weigh kilos all up. It's almost certainly for aerodynamic flow over the bonnet. For downforce cars, little imperfections like the Merc logo can have a significant effect on aero features down stream, such as the cooling vent in front of the windshield or any vortex generators further down the car.
People think it's for weight savings, but it's actually for aerodynamics. The bumpy surface of a logo creates just a bit of distortion to the air that goes to the windshield and towards the sides
I thought it would've had more to do with aerodynamics? I don't know the most on the topic, but I feel like a badge would disrupt the flow and possibly make it more turbulent. Having flat/smooth paint probably negates that
That weight is not going to do anything , its it's negligible, I would want a badge paying so much , the car should come with light weight boot and suite to save that weight and a dietitian if they wanna be technical 😂
Cracks me up. "Hand painted under the laquer" thats a Urethane clear coat. American manufactures stopped using lacquer finishes in the 1970s and the Europeans never really used Laquer at all.
I think having the badge painted rather than stuck on is more for less drag. The difference in weight between a plastic ring and 18 layers of paint I don't think would be enough to warrant painting over sticking on a piece of plastic. But when there's something stuck on, there's that bit which gets caught on the air when you're flying over 330 km/hr
I would imagine that it has less to do with weight and more to do with air turbulence. The badges create tiny disturbances in the air as it passes over the car, and the faster the car is traveling, the further that disturbance travels over the car impacting ducting and other lowered efficiencies.
I imagine to be able to drive a car like this, they probably have a weight category for the driver to fit into....I mean I'd give up those chicken nuggets for this beautiful machine B)
Dodge did this on the T/A package challenger. It was a sticker but still, anyone who knows cars knows the extreme weight saving models remove the badge for a sticker/paint. Porsche been doing it for a while.
It's more about the aerodynamics than the weight of the badge I'm sure, because a small badge with sharp angles can easily disrupt the airflow with large consequences
It's absurd why we as a society choose to follow the wildest of marketing terms of a company that they make up stupid and honestly offensively dumb reasons for doing things that don't need any reason.

TBH on a car this expensive anything but a handpainted logo, especially a sticker, would just be an insult.
it’s not painted to be as light as posdible, but instead to improve aerodynamics, by reducing surface seperation
Builders: Let’s remove the logo to save weight. Also builders: Adds weight back with 18 layers of paint.
It's not about weight, it's about drag coefficient
It's more about the aerodynamics than the weight of the badge I'm sure, because a small badge with sharp angles can easily disrupt the airflow with large consequences
18 layers of lacquer on that hood probably weighs more than the badge would. But the wind resistance would be better.
It’s not about the weight , more so the aerodynamics of the car
the headlights look like stickers as well, from a distance..lol
In Nico Rosberg’s video, the makers of the car says that it has 16 layers
car is nearly 2 tonnes but yay, saved 1.5g on the badge. Peak engineering
The only time my man changes his shoes
That is what you call taking aerodynamics to another level.
Talking about lightness with the 1700kg car is so funny
They grain some weight whit that logo but. Like the metal/plastic Eu-German plate on front and rear make some different too 😂😂
Imagine paying 2M for a hyper car and instead of using a lightweight badge made of exotic high-end materials to save weight you get five decals.
it'd make more sense to help with the aerodynamics vs having a bumpy badge, but what do I know.

Removing a gram of metal means zOOM
It’s more likely for aerodynamics. Having a badge poking out would greatly disrupt the airflow
“As light as possible” and “18layers of paint” dont add up chief
It's not for lightness it is for air dynamics and wind resistance
