YOUR POST SAYS THAT YOU ARE AN AUTOMOTIVE MARKETING STUDENT..
I HAVE POSTED A RESPONCE TO YOUR AND OTHER POSTS REGARDING THE LIMITED PRODUCTION NUMBERS OF THE VIPERS AND ABOUT THE DESIGN TOOLING COSTS..
IF YOUR ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE PRODUCTION NUMBERS I POSTED FOR OTHER CARS MANUFACTUERED BOTH IN THE PAST AND CURRENTLY BY DC ARE FAR BELOW THAT OF THE VIPER HERE THEY ARE AGAIN..
I DISCUSSED THE PRODUCTION OF THE MERCEDES 6.9 MODEL BUILT FROM 1975-1980..
TOTAL PRODUCTION FOR 5 YEARS WAS AROUND 2,000+/- CARS FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD!!
2,000 CARS BUILT OVER 5 YEARS TOTALS APROX 500 CARS PER YEAR..
MERCEDES DESIGNED A SPECIAL 6.9 LITER ENGINE AND THEN HAD TO TOTALLY REENGINEER THE ENTIRE CAR FOR A TOTAL PRODUCTION OF ONLY 500 CARS PER YEAR.
DC CURRENTLY BUILDS THE 6.0 LITER V-12 600 SERIES S600, SL600.
THE TOTAL PRODUCTION FOR THE YEARS 2001 AND 2002 FOR THE V-12 600 SERIES CAR WAS AROUND 1,750+/- CARS FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD.
THIS EQUATES TO ONLY 875+/- V-12 600s FOR ENTIRE CARS BUILT PER YEAR..
LETS SEE IF AS A STUDENT YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH COSTS MORE?
1. THE COST TO DESIGN AND ENGINEER A TOTALLY NEW V-12 ENGINE AND THEN TO REENGINEER THE ENTIRE DRIVLINE SPECIFICLY FOR THAT V-12. PLUS THE COMPLETE REDESIGN OF THE CHASSIS TO HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL POWER AND WEIGHT OF THE V-12..PLUS THE EPA CERTIFICATION OF THE NEW V-12 ENGINE..
2.THE COST TO REENGINEER ONLY THE TOP END OR INDUCTION SYSTEM OF A CURRENT PRODUCTION V-10 ENGINE AND THE EPA CERTIFICATIONOF THAT ENGINE..
I FIGURE THAT THE NEW V-8 KOMPRESSOR ENGINES WILL BE SOLD IN AROUND THE SAME NUMBERS AS THE VIPERS BUT THEY DESIGNED AND CERTIFIED THESE AND ARE BUILDING THEM..
ALSO CAR COMPANIES HAVE HAD TO DESIGN ,BUILD AND CERTIFY CARS SOLELY FOR CALIF THAT HAVE SOLD IN FAR FEWER NUMBERS THAN THE VIPERS..
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE FACT THAT OTHER COMPANIES LIKE ASTON MARTIN,FERRARI,PORSCHE ECT. CAN DESIGN AND BUILD ENTIRE CARS THAT ARE SOLD IN FEWER NUMBERS THAN THE VIPER.. WHAT ABOUT THEIR COSTS??
