= Luxury
Number four BTW is why the topic starter thinks SUVs = luxury.
:lol:
Atleast that is the impression I got.
Now to make a performance car is ALOT harder. You need a really good and powerful engine, if not powerful then make it rev good. Make the car sound really nice... a quiet car is not a very good sports car. Then when it comes to style there is two things you can do.
You can make something that looks original, i.e Zonda or make something that is a bit ugly, but adds a lot to the performance, Ferrari Enzo or F430. The greatest thing is that you don't have to make the car look boring, like allmost all "luxury" cars do and you don't have to use shiny chrome and BLinG wheels.
You also have to make sure the car is 1,5kg lighter than the cometitors product. Because numbers = facts. The better numbers you have the more you kick ass. Hell yeah. That's basicly it. Sports cars are all about numbers. The better the numbers the better the car. Most important of wich are top sped, 0 - 60, horsepower and weight.
When talking sports cars the numbers say it all wery well. There is still room for opinion, but that's fanboy-ism. You know who is right and who is wrong, and you can openly laugh at the people who say a Prius is faster 0-6 than an Enzo. The fanboys may be right but they are not playing by the rules.
1. "Luxury" can not be measured
2. Luxury cars are boring. They look boring and do not drive as well as sports cars.
The only luxury car that looks somewhat exciting is the Phantom... but it's still not as fascinating as a Enzo or a Veyron and I bet my left testicle it doesn't drive as good. I imagine the drive is soft... and the engine is quite quiet I hear. So it is boring.
How do you engineer a luxury car? You make it quiet.
... and that's it. Job done. Rolls Royce was dead for decades untill BMW "saved it", meaning they bought a well known badge. Made one car. Made the one car they wanted to make quiet, really quiet. Then they put a big engine it it so it could move.
How do you engineer a sports car?
Well Porsche used many decades to perfect an obviously flawed concept and they're kicking ass left and right. Porsche 911. It took decades to get the power, make the car lighter and lighter, improve any possible performance number possible... decades. More bragging rights, and better potential to be a fanboy.
Yea. I fucking hate luxury cars.
They are as boring as their owners.
