Ok guys, let's have a hypothetical thread.

Let's say I was 30 years old and semi-retired. I have a strong desire to start an auto manufacturer that caters to competitive enthusiasts who want cars they can tune, mod, and race for a fair price.

I do NOT have any engineering knowledge. I CAN hire people to design something. I DO have connections to Toyota and Honda to potentially use their engines. I DO have designs made up on paper for how a vehicle would look, but tests would determine changes to actual build quality, which would be street performance oriented.

How would you get your ideas off the ground?

What do you do that lets you retire at 30?

There are already hundreds of thousands of cars like this, they are called used cars. A boutique small scale manufacturer can never compete with that or cheap new cars like the Miata. If you want to start a pretend company you need more pretend experience in racing first. Prodrive suggested they were going to try this with the P2 but I'm sure they realized nobody wants a $60k shitbox just because it's special and for enthusiasts.

Not him but I effectively retired at 32.

I guess you would hire people to design and build cars that can be built from a kit (or built by you) using a K series engine that complies with an already popular racing series.

That was actually the Honda engine I was going to go with, too. That and it would be easy to make it legal and compliant.

Stupid idea. Make parts instead. Enthusiasts don't need to buyfag shit because they build shit. Parts can make millions of dollars if they are the right parts.

Competing against the used car market is retarded. What you want is retarded.

Designs on PAPER? You ignorant fuck, if you are too lazy to become an engineer you are too lazy to refine what you want.

Pay a consultant to tell you what you want to hear. You know nothing of the industry which interests you, have done no market studies, and don't have a hundred million bucks.
