someone sets up a crowdfunding for a light 2 seater RWD sport coupe that utilizes only decades proven parts from big brands?
could crowdfunding and a fresh /o/ startup company do this?
like a brz?

the emphasis is on creating an actual /o/ car. the epitome of autism
You could also 3D print a shit ton of parts nowadays.
Prototyping is no rocket science anymore.
Guys
Is /o/ gonna build a car

I like your thinking. I wonder why there aren't more rogue manufacturers in the automotive world that fabricate enthusiasts cars. It seems like every mainstream commercially produced car is good in some areas but shit in others.
Like cmon, how fucking hard is it to just give me a LS1 roadster? It's literally the only thing anyone has ever wanted for the last 20 fucking years.

There can never be an /o/ car. It would be impossible to build because of pedestrian safety regs.
We have all the autism we need on board.
- /o/ for the whole concept
- /diy/ for everything hands-on
- /gd/ and /3/ for creating the virtual design and later prototype 3D printing
- /g/ for engine management and head unit programming
- /fa/ for seat cover design
- /ck/ to keep us alive and get us coffee and beverage
- /tv/ for creating our advertising on youtube
- /pol/ for meme magic and morale backup

/biz/ for marketing and everything finance
/sci/ for streamlining it

One word: Regulations.

so what?
if parts used from other cars, for example like corolla engine, the emission shit should be already in the bag.
then plan out the passenger cabin rigidity and crumple zones and if the fucking pedestrian doesn't feel comfy fucking stuff a pillow under the hood if needed.
i'm sure there are ways if things are planned out cleverly.

3D printed parts have utter dogshit fatigue life. vibrations will crack your shit up.

clever engineering is expensive. there's a reason all cars redesigned in the last few years look the same.

>/diy/ doing the hands on
yeah that's true because nobody on /o/ actually owns a car, much less does their own work
>/g/ for engine management
what fucking world are you living in
fucking autistic italians I swear
>>16820918
Lotus already made one
>>16820918
i think the best 4chan could come up with is a kit car using off the shelf components. a production car is completely out of the question.
You would need it to be built an a platform that was approved for road use.

That's why he used the word "prototyping"

Yes, the BRZ is indeed an /o/ car in the sense that /o/ can't stop complaining about its shittyness
