artificial intelligence or natural stupidity?

KamakaziDemiGod@reddit

My literal reaction, except I said uck at the end

The titles a little misleading though, it uses an R8 V10, and it's styled to look like an R8, but it's custom built

I think OP didn't like my comment, I'm so confused by what they were trying to even say

[-]

Someone’s taking screenshots just for a comment — such an adorable effort. Engler, the person who created this nonsense, scammed people who wanted to donate money for ammunition to Ukraine. For that reason, I wouldn’t believe everything he said on Top Gear. In my opinion, he used a crashed and totaled R8.

[-]

Puzzleheaded_Try3559@reddit

Like with Antonov claiming they want donations to rebuild the AN-225 but in all honesty they will use it for personal gain because Antonov is very corrupt and iirc they still sell parts and shit to Russia

[-]

KamakaziDemiGod@reddit

I took a screenshot because I was really confused by what you were saying, but your comment was deleted before I could see it.

It's possible he used a crash damaged R8 for the basis of this car, but it's shorter, lower and narrower than an R8, so has had serious custom work and I would be surprised if most of it isn't fabricated specifically for this because trying to create this from a crash damaged car would be a terrible place to start unless you are chopping off and replacing anything that could be damaged with custom parts, therefore it doesn't matter what he started with

Do you have a source for the ammunition controversy? I can't find any information about it

I want all the disadvantages of a motorcycle but with the size footprint of a car so I can get rid of the maneuverability advantage of the motorcycle....and if it has a head on collision I should definitely get flung off and die just for owning it.

Well, if you are doing some death worthy shit.. There's absolutely no reason, to not go all in. As you can see, bro I going no seatbelt, on a rocky mountain road with some square rocks to get him airborne ASAP.

I don't see how such a big, rather well appreciated car company thought this was a good idea. This is some Fiat ass engineering with much more power.

This is the one time I think the whole “driver not wearing a seat belt and expecting to be thrown clear of the vehicle” thing is actually right

Somehow, these designers have created a car in which adding a seatbelt would actually ensure death

Big_Gouf@reddit

I use to sketch "cars" like this at the early part of my industrial design career. Always thought some Akira motorcycle inspired quad/atv/car menagerie with open-air motorcycle like seating would be so fun to drive. Very niche market, safety issues abound.

[-]

DeathAngel_97@reddit

Fun till you actually take a corner at speed, and realize that the only thing keeping you in your seat on a bike is being able to lean into the turn, with the forces now pushing you down into your seat, and in a car its the bucket seat + seat belt. You have neither of those options and just get yeeted in this lol.

[-]

Fli_fo@reddit

Your suggestion to do more design work on this so the driver position with seat and steering can tilt is genius.

[-]

jimbowesterby@reddit

I mean, at that point why not just buy a bike and save yourself like $100 000 of custom fabrication work?

[-]

Fli_fo@reddit

Some people want to show their wealth. Let's be honest, some custom 100k wheels attract a lot more attention then a bike that anyone can buy.

My understanding of physics (in particular inertia) is somewhat limited but if you turn right at speed, you’ll be yeeted to the left and with no restraints to hold you in place you need to have decent grip strength to hang on for dear life.
