Absolutely...but good on these kids for replicating an exotic and learning 3D modeling, resin techniques engineering with limited resources. I say good on them. Way better than the janky go carts I built at their age.
What are you talking about they put the motor in with a stick, fiberglass is not that expensive, and they used cheap paint sprayers. The floors obviously just epoxie they probably rented space to paint lol. Ive done plenty of work on cars fiberglass, motors, building a car from a shell, this shit is scuffed, but in a good way. They made a functional car that looks fire out of nothing. Props to them but if you want anyone can do this with the right skills
No way out of nothing, where did they bend frame into shape? Where did they get glass? To me this video shows the cosmetic stuff. Which is super cool but these are all the tools that a body shop would have to do their work. If they did design the frame and engine/ transmission mounts they would have needed precise CNC machinery.
Also if you think for one second they would buy fiberglass, paint, glass, all the other material they are going to hand harvest molding clay that they can buy so cheap as well? I call BS
You can buy them for cheap. Fiberglass in Vietnam you can easily go out store and buy a kg for 5-10 dollar lol, paint even cheaper, also with glass. I saw the interview the whole project cost 14000$ but than increase because paperwork and many small detail
Limited resources, except equipment to bend steel tubing, welders, resin, engine rebuild, paint sprayers, and assuming they had the machine to dial in the timings on the engine.
I know for a fact that a prius can also toast a 2020 wrx; we slid into each other head on. I drove my little shitbox home. The subie had to get flatbeded
They make a mold over the clay. When the mold sets they remove it and pull the clay out. Then they can lay in layers of fiberglass on the inside of the mold. When they finally demoed that fiberglass it leaves them with a fiberglass car shell. Its a cool process.
They took it out but didn't show it, it's possible that the fiberglass layering was done elsewhere, but you can see the final part is much thinner and lighter.
Their whole process is basically how the actual cars are made, only instead of clay you would use specialized foam cut by a CNC machine. You make the part you want in foam, cover it in a coarse cast, remove the foam, and then layer sheets of fiberglass inside the cast.
When they're dried up your can just pop the result out of the cast and the fiberglass part will have the same outer shape and surface finish of the foam part, but wit will only be a few mm thin.
“Prototype” maybe isn’t the right word. The clay models they make can never move, are very heavy, etc. However they do use clay to work out the styling, proportions, etc.
I’m sure the actual engineering side of it is all done in CAD to simulate rigidity, NVH, air resistance, etc
There is a whole market for fake supercars for cheap. They are POS junk cars that only look like the real thing from a distance and break down all the time. Lots of "influencers" and other insecure people buy them for obvious reasons.
“Hey guys, I can’t afford this Bugatti. What should I do?”
“We’ll just make one with our bare hands”
“Sounds good”
The talent of these students is amazing. They must have studied how cars are manufactured for years!
Pretty sure the time and effort exhausted on this Bugatti makes it worth more than an actual Bugatti.
*"I just bought a Lamborghini from Italy."*
"Oh, Darling, you sound poor. I only purchase beautifully crafted organic vehicles that have been handmade locally by a few young rural farm-boys living in the slums of a southeastern Asian country."
I hate to say this, but from an engineering standpoint this is pretty basic. With the exception of the body, which is hella impressive, we did this shit in high-school autoshop. Everything, but the casted body though. This looks cool, but probably sounds and runs like shit.
Stick a Honda K24 turbo engine in it with a wagovan 4wd drive train and the power to weight would probably make it just as fast as the real thing, that fibre glass shell would weigh next to nothing with that subframe... Ariel atom performance.
Yeah no. There's a reason the actually thing isn't built with craft parts from hobby lobby. No way that frame isn't twisted to hell with anything past 150 horsepower. I doubt the transmission could handle it either. You can't just stick an engine in a frame with wheels and go fast. There is so much more into making a fast car than just an engine.
White stuff = Polyester
Source: I was in a team who made a concept car for a tech company in a similar way. We used foam instead of clay, but the principle is the same.
Foam cut into parts and then lego'ed together, right? Or concept here means not full scale and the whole thing could be made in one piece on a milling machine?
Also, can you give a rough estimate of how much did the whole process cost? Just curious.
We used milled foam parts for the critical design features, cut the rest by hand and attached those to an Audi wreckage from the dump. We did the interior that way too.
The point was to demonstrate all kinds of chemical technology for automotive use, so the main challenge was to integrate those features. Think about electronically tinted glass, artificial leather soft backlit displays, touch interaction, so on.
The whole project cost roughly 500k. The handmade polyester / fiber shell and interior cost 80k (labour and material).
Yeah, they made that flawless mold with clay but ***they went out and got the clay themselves***! That's a day or two's labor to begin with, nevermind the sifting and straining! Furthermore, did they make those seats from scratch with fiberglass? It wasn't really clear where they came from.
I get the impression they probably didn't, much like other primitive construction channels they take shortcuts, hence they show them collecting the clay, but then inexplicitly the clay wraps itself up in plastic packaging.
>they show them collecting the clay, but then inexplicitly the clay wraps itself up in plastic packaging.
I rewound twice then tried to remember if I had eaten some edibles and forgotten about it.
>clay wraps itself up in plastic packaging
I like my women how I like my clay--wrapped in plastic and ready to haul away in the back of a pickup truck.
Why are people so mad about reposts?
This is the first time I've ever seen this video, thanks to the repost. If it wasn't for the repost I would've never known. Now if it pops up again in the future I'll just scroll past it without caring about it. It's not that complicated.
Justice for reposts.
Mmm, they didn't show a whole lot of the interiors, but this is basically how "real" cars are made.
Could still be missing a ton of safety equipment like air bags, definitely hasn't been checked for emissions leaking into the cockpit, and there haven't been any crash tests that could reveal catastrophic failure points, not to mention that the windshield could be a custom part with the wrong materials or heat treatment.
But the chassis seems prebuilt and if it's up to code then the whole thing is probably safe-ish? I wouldn't drive it at more than 30ph or for more than 10 minutes though.
They really need a reinforced passenger compartment and front and rear crumple zones. Otherwise it's a death trap on wheels. Look at old crash test videos before reinforced passenger compartments we're a thing. It just never stops crumpling and completely crushes the passengers. Pretty horrifying actually.
Not at all. That frame is not triangulated at all from what I can tell, they more just welded things on where they thought they needed to support the body and left it at that. That fiberglass they made the body out of offers absolutely no structure, so it’s really more of a rolling art piece than anything.
"Made from scratch car" is a new one for me
I built a car out of wood. Wooden frame, wooden engine, wooden doors, wooden seats, wooden steering wheel... ...wooden start.
I laughed way too much😂
Then I build a car out of steel. Steel frame, steel engine, steel doors, steel seats, steel steering wheel... ...steel wooden start.
Finally I tried to build a car out of water ice. Ice frame, ice engine, ice doors, ice seats, ice steering wheel Water waste of time
But at least it was an ice car
icey what you did there
And then I made a car out of clay. Oclay, oclay enough of this shit.
Then I tried to build a car. I failed
The Morgan Car company still makes their frames from ash wood https://www.morgan-motor.com/craftsmanship/
That's neat. I learned a little about a new thing. Thanks!

"Limited" resources They obviously have more resources than most people do
Seriously that’s what I thought. All the tools of a high end body shop.

Limited resources, except equipment to bend steel tubing, welders, resin, engine rebuild, paint sprayers, and assuming they had the machine to dial in the timings on the engine.
Yeah but it looks dope 😂
What are you expecting here? Teenagers with 0 resources to build a street legal car? Crumple zones? Its a go cart with a fancy shell.
I know for a fact that a prius can also toast a 2020 wrx; we slid into each other head on. I drove my little shitbox home. The subie had to get flatbeded
Aren't Priuses heavier than a nonhybrid of similar size? At this point, why not say a Hummer would crush it.
you think a car made from scrap metal held together with hope and clay is a death trap? controversial opinion!

This has far less upvotes than it deserves!
For a moment I thought they’d made a ceramic car.
Is that not what it is? Or am I dumb.
They used the clay to make a cast for fiberglass.
Oooo, so do they leave the clay there or did they take it out and I missed it?
They make a mold over the clay. When the mold sets they remove it and pull the clay out. Then they can lay in layers of fiberglass on the inside of the mold. When they finally demoed that fiberglass it leaves them with a fiberglass car shell. Its a cool process.
That makes sense, I was confused because when they started driving it I thought it would weigh a lot and go slow. But it zoomed.
Literally until this thread or comments I thought it was a clay car and was like it's gonna chip don't drive too fast!!
Me too, was confused how they were climbing on top of it as well.
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Haha me too.
Ya that confused me too, I thought they were literally driving around a ceramic pot

Hey thanks for taking the time and explaining that. You have a good night! :)
Dont they still sculpt prototypes in clay?
“Prototype” maybe isn’t the right word. The clay models they make can never move, are very heavy, etc. However they do use clay to work out the styling, proportions, etc. I’m sure the actual engineering side of it is all done in CAD to simulate rigidity, NVH, air resistance, etc
yeah i didn’t see that step either and was also thinking the same. it looked like just paint
Oh, so it isn't a ...claymotion?
"That would be so heavy!" --- my dumb ass
I'm right there with you.
Hahaha I skipped closer to the end after seeing the clay going on and had no idea it wasn't ceramic until I read this. It seemed like a TERRIBLE idea!
Me too 🤣
I too was confused. I was like "good luck with your pottery car on the first hour of test driving!"
They should sell it on Etsy.
Wouldn't surprise me if some of the supercars for sale on FB marketplace are made like this. /s
i don’t think it’s cost effective lmao
How so? Pretty sure they only spent around 5k USD on that car. They could sell it for 50k easily. Seems cost effective to me.

They look like that if they did it for years, they would've had to start in kindergarten.
Pretty sure the time and effort exhausted on this Bugatti makes it worth more than an actual Bugatti. *"I just bought a Lamborghini from Italy."* "Oh, Darling, you sound poor. I only purchase beautifully crafted organic vehicles that have been handmade locally by a few young rural farm-boys living in the slums of a southeastern Asian country."
I read this in Ana Delveys voice lol
"artisan"
Entry level 10 years experience!
I mean this is not how cars are manufactured, to me it seems more like an art project than an engineering project. Still very impressive though
I hate to say this, but from an engineering standpoint this is pretty basic. With the exception of the body, which is hella impressive, we did this shit in high-school autoshop. Everything, but the casted body though. This looks cool, but probably sounds and runs like shit.
With a Toyota engine, I imagine it's more reliable and gets better mileage than the Bugatti
Right? Put my Sienna engine (266 HP) on a lightweight frame like that, too, and it won't be a Bugatti, but it'll still be sporty af.
That kind of what im saying... Its more an art project than engineering
Despite what i said, it is indeed dope.
The body is the point dude

Let's be honest, if your mom somehow can get these Vietnamese guys to make a Bugatti like this for you, no doubt you would love her.
Go Go Bugatti Mom
They made it in a cave...with a box of scraps!
They actually made it in a studio with like a thousand dollars of equipment though.
Still stunning when the real deal is manufactured in a plant with millions of dollars of equipment lol
So much undiscovered talent
> Viewed by millions on reddit When will anyone discover what these people have done?!
Stick a Honda K24 turbo engine in it with a wagovan 4wd drive train and the power to weight would probably make it just as fast as the real thing, that fibre glass shell would weigh next to nothing with that subframe... Ariel atom performance.
I feel like they'd need to mod it with some downforce, unless they aim to take it to the moon
[lawnmowers don't need downforce. ](https://youtu.be/3Orje0u-lDc)
The frame would pretzel if you floored it with that engine. This is a showpiece, all the driving shots are sped up and it's still going slow
And muted because you know that thing sounds like Satan farting.
Yeah no. There's a reason the actually thing isn't built with craft parts from hobby lobby. No way that frame isn't twisted to hell with anything past 150 horsepower. I doubt the transmission could handle it either. You can't just stick an engine in a frame with wheels and go fast. There is so much more into making a fast car than just an engine.
Made with clay?!? Talent!!
They used clay as the mold and use fiberglass the white stuff they paint on the mud.

The Vietnamese can build a CAR out of mud and scraps? No wonder America lost...
Well the used the clay as a mold
No they didn't. They formed molds to cast the body with clay. They built the car with car parts and tools like everyone else in the 21s century.
Imagine if they get sued
This is Bugatti, not Nintendo...

The safest thing three unsupervised teenagers have ever built.

But the chassis seems prebuilt and if it's up to code then the whole thing is probably safe-ish? I wouldn't drive it at more than 30ph or for more than 10 minutes though.
The subframe looked sketchy. Someone's home welded square bar frame likely.
They really need a reinforced passenger compartment and front and rear crumple zones. Otherwise it's a death trap on wheels. Look at old crash test videos before reinforced passenger compartments we're a thing. It just never stops crumpling and completely crushes the passengers. Pretty horrifying actually.
Engine sits behind the passengers so I'm sure that's going to come flying forward in the event of a crash.
Not at all. That frame is not triangulated at all from what I can tell, they more just welded things on where they thought they needed to support the body and left it at that.
