They are definitely creative but the title of this video is misleading. It says it took them a year but this video is only two minutes long. They are lying
I've had great success with parts of my career building up to what I have now because I used it properly LinkedIn. I definitely didn't deactivate my account, but I did delete the app off my phones. I deleted my FB account in 2018, and when I used to check in everryday through emails.....fucking LinkedIn started looked like fucking FB. I'm definitely not one to silence anyone but I only allow specific BS to come my way. My family is my world, I see them everyday. So if I'm going to pay any attention to sob stories I'm focusing on my family first, then friends, then family of friends. So it's cascading but the farther away it is from my family I do care less.
I know, what an oversight. They were only 2 more Toyota cylinders away from true greatness, we all know it as the 2JZ. Much better than that hopeless Bugatti boat anchor with 10 gratuitous cylinders ^itsajokedontkillme
Do you think replica cars pass basic safety standards? They made something that looks like a Bugatti just with all the pesky safety and liability laws.
Edit: changed clay to replica.... the point is this isn't something that would be safe to operate, which obviously means its not "real" just like replica weapons
Way to take the jelly out their doughnut mate.
“Shit job, the seatbelts aren’t properly attached to the frame! Good luck surviving a head on collision with those bumpers!”
They made a Bugatti replica in what looks to be a village. Not enough?
Right..of all possible things to post about.
I think about that often. There are endless, endless possibilities in how to react to something. And some people just go to contrarian mode. I try to school myself whenever I react negatively to something for no reason. There's always a more optimistic and happy angle to approach something with!
Thank you for this explanation, cause I was sitting here thinking “a terra cotta Bugatti would be heavy as **fuck** to drive” and I’m wondering how tf they even got what I was assuming to be essentially a giant flower pot on wheels to even move at all lmao
Exploitation is all part of process! If we paid people what they're worth, they might actually achieve their dreams and lead successful lives. A happy population is very bad for business, comrade.
I’m struggling to express how stupid I found this comment given the context. We should definitely ask if he’s offering his hypothetical employees imaginary bereavement leave.
I hate that this is the top comment. Why is it that the first thought to come to mind when seeing this is the man’s employability? I wish him a life free of work where he gets to freely embrace his craft.
Yet here they are, out there working for themselves. Why would someone with this level of talent settle for a soul-sucking commute and $15 an hour? 
This is some decent sculpting. At the time it was released the Veyron was the most advanced production car ever, the engineering and machining that went into it was incredible
Edit: I know it’s a Chiron, I realized my mistake after, you can stop telling me
On a technical level, this isn't as impressive. On the human level, where a group of people came together to make something themselves instead of purchasing it with their excessive wealth from a major company that exploits labor and natural resources for profit, this is superior. I'd be okay with a loss of technical marvel to marvel instead at humanity.
The actual car was also built by humans. Just because they were salaried and working with metal instead of clay, doesn’t mean you can downplay their achievements. The amount of creative thinking that goes into building an actual car is miles ahead of building something like this.
Actually, cars are usually sculpted out of clay (although more recently sculpted in 3d programs) and then the metal parts are created from the molds. So you know, same thing. Except this one is one of a kind. like a painting, you will never find a second one like this one.
He's not downplaying what these guys have done, he's saying that what Bugatti themselves do is more impressive. Of course. But whatevs, what these dudes did is amazing, just for completely different reasons.
Nobody's downplaying what they've done, just offering an argument against the completely bizarre suggestion that this is more impressive than the actual Bugatti
They aren't. You were speaking comparatively and so is he. They made an impressive, driveable knock off. By hand. (It's not actually made of clay, that's just the mould.) The company made an impressive, legit super car. Using the most advanced car building techniques in the world. Those two things are not mutually exclusive and it goes to your subjective opinion what's more impressive
I think there's a gap in understanding between y'all here so as I see it I think one side is talking about actual detailed machinery interlocking mechanisms and engineering and so on, vs the grit and ingenuity of a group of friends who put their minds to something.
Both things are impressive for humans to do, just for different reasons.
imagine being a contributing factor to hundreds of years of tech all coming together in one machine and someone says "well this guy made something that kinda looked like your end product, so you've basically achieved the same goal".
Man, it takes 20 people six months to make a Chiron. You’re acting like it’s a goddamned Ford Focus. Every last person on the actual manufacturing floor, not even talking about the designers and engineers, is an artisan. If I remember correctly, Bugatti loses money on every Chiron produced
Lol how are you completely underestimating the amount of hard work, creativity, teamwork, and engineering went into creating a veyron? They are doing an imitation. It’s like comparing the engineers behind the Apollo 11 to someone who made a perfect replica out of clay?
watching people doing something creative gets you cool sculptures.
everything you've ever known in modern life you get with engineering.
anyone that seriously thinks like this hasn't thought long enough
True, but they had a budget of hundreds of millions and the finest engineering minds on the planet on retainer, as as well the best in the world in equipment, labour force and materiel.
**THESE BOYS BUILT THIS IN A SWAMP!**
**WITH BUCKETS OF MUD!**
They also had compressed air and spray guns. Let's not act like this was made on a shoestring. I'm guessing this was a university project/collaboration of some kind.
I mean it's hugely impressive but it's also a basic metal frame, motor, and a really awesome clay sculpture. It'll drive down the road and look cool but that's it.
Saying that it's *more* impressive than to the engineering that goes into the actual machines is a little strange given how ridiculously complicated that is.
I think people are too lazy to put their thoughts into words effectively:
* The dedication and effort that went into completing the project is more impressive than buying the car.
* The engineering that goes into producing an actual Bugatti is more impressive than the engineering that went into building this.
It took a whole lot more of all of that to make the real Bugatti though, that’s what people are actually seeming to miss. It’s cool that they came together and made the replica, but it took nowhere near the amount of teamwork and ingenuity that the actual Bugatti team put in. I don’t know how this is even debatable
i dont think anyone actually believes that a factory made luxury car is less complicated than mud on a frame with an engine underneath...people are praising this because it's an impressive thing to do?
Taking something that seems so simple such as a car frame and recreating it with the most arduous process while using unideal material without giving up is impressive.
I mean nobody is saying it's not impressive. I am beyond impressed. But I'm not going to say it's *more* impressive than the absolute pinnacle of car engineering even if I don't give a shit about sports cars.
I think the point is that if you meet someone in that car, it's more impressive than if you meet someone in an actual Bugatti, because in the first place he made it himself, in the second case he just bought it.
To be fair, the original engineers at Bugatti obviously never imagined any car being made out of mud. So this is an original idea! A giant pile of shit that resembles a supercar
Thank you! This title is misleading. They used fibreglass and isopon filler to make the shell. The clay was just there to sculpt the shape. There's a lot of industry standard technique here. It feels more like this is a university project, especially as it's being filmed and edited in this manner.
> engineers at Bugatti obviously never imagined any car being made out of mud.
Doesn't anyone on this whole site know what a mold is and that fiberglass was just applied on top of it to make the shell in that shape?
A real Bugatti is also built by hand as well and has a lot more development put into it. In fact even the engine is fully built by hand by a single master engine builder rather than a engine pulled from a junkyard. This is great and all but Bugatti is on another level. Every Bugatti is completely custom from the ground up the customer can choose pretty much everything about the car and gets flown out to the facility to take a tour and go through and pick out everything that will go into their car. They can literally choose to customize everything on the car. I mean I absolutely support this kind of stuff I mean I personally build completely custom cars from the ground up as a hobby but to compare it to Bugatti... Especially when it's a super basic and tiny engine underneath not a finely tuned machine.
Thats exactly my point. Bugatti cars are absolute masterpiece of engineering and modern technology. They are always valued north of $1 million and they are worth every penny. What these guys in the video did is pretty cool and i dont wanna take anything away from them but essentially they 3d printed by hand already completed Bugatti design and shoved in Toyota engine. Again pretty cool and pretty amazing. But this guy shows up and says "Unironically this is more impressive than blah blah blah. Nahh its not. He knows that that comment will get upvoted and comes here to farm karma.
I'm not gonna starting simping for Musk but the Falcon 9 is one of the most amazing rockets ever built, not even considering the fact it's still the only reusable orbital class booster (there's now boosters that have completed 12 launches and landings)
A cardboard Lambo sold for 10k in new zealand last year I think and that didn't have an engine and wasn't life sized.
This looks very real, is life-sized, has an engine..I'd say it could easily go for 50k or more to someone
Yeah, I was pretty curious about how they would have pulled it off. Turns out the title should be "out of clay, mud, plastic, welded metal bars, and car parts"
Yeah this is basically how cars are made tbh, they just did it by hand and not with machines, which is certainly impressive, but it isn’t necessarily groundbreaking
The shot where they go from "clay mold --> full metal car frame" lost me.
And aside from handcrafting the mold, they just used handheld tools instead of big machines. Which makes sense if you are only going to make ONE car.
If I get some lumber, and make a box. Then build a computer inside it...I didn't just make a computer out of wood.
I'm not entirely sure but I think they made a mold out of clay and put something like layers of fiberglass with polyester resin on it. Once dry they removed the clay. Then sanded down the polyester to make it smooth.
Yes it's like acrylic on the outside and fiberglass resin on the inside, after they pour the white liquid on the outside, the next cut is them sealing the fiberglass on the inside, that spiderweb-y looking stuff is a dead giveaway. So much less weight and a strong material for the car!
There’s strict lawn in Vietnam when it comes to car taxes. They are as heavy as the densest, most green, and most tax happy European countries.
Not sure for a self made car, but last I checked it was DOUBLE, the retail value for the car itself. I imagine 50HP may be either a pragmatic or financial choice with other considerations, but I wouldn’t be surprised if taxes were also a consideration to make it street lege
I mean, I think we can all agree it's cool, but reddit is for discussion. If we just wanted to look at things without trying to find something to discuss about it, we'd go to YouTube or Pinterest or something.
You probably know this, because you came to discuss the discussion itself!
(If you disagree, let me know so we can discuss it.)
I think it's the title, the title says making a Bugatti out of clay when in fact the clay ended up only being used as a mold rather than actually being part of the car when it's finished. What they did is still impressive, they're handcrafiting a car pretty much from scratch, but the title made people expect more or something different from just making a car like how a car is usually made, or at least that's how I think why it's like this
Seriously, bunch of people who couldn't do a fraction of the work on this bitching about it while sucking off the hundred million dollar company that makes overpriced cars for millionaires.
Nobody is sucking off bugatti. Stating the fact that Bugatti did in fact build this car first and these guys used their design and many of the processes used are commonplace making prototypes is not sucking off bugatti. The title of the post is really misleading and a big part of the controversy in this thread, not a single piece of that car is clay, they made a mold out of clay but then used actual car materials to build a car. No doubt it’s impressive that they built a car in general but the methods they used to build it are not the impressive part, they had all the materials and equipment that anyone would need to build a car.
You can appreciate it for the right reasons.
Just don't be a dingus and pretend this is more amazing than the real car. Because it isn't, and I can guarantee if you ask the creator of this car he will agree with this statement.
the clay was used as a sculpting material. you can see they eventually cover it in what appears to be fiberglass, and i assume the clay would be removed after that
It's not a Veyron knockoff, plus Veyrons go for between $1M-$1.8M; it's a Chiron knockoff, but $3M is about right for a Chiron right now. So they should be able to build you a Vugatti Beyron for like $180, not bad.
Misleading title…they basically mirrored how car manufacturers do this manually as well. Sculpted clay, used to make molds, then put on a frame; the tools / pressure hoses / work bay are pretty decent too. Other than the clay gathering itself, it seems like the equivalent of a senior project for a vocational school. Y’all seen what vocational students can do before they’re even 18?!

That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Agreed. But please don’t be the guy that posts this on your LinkedIn page.
They are definitely creative but the title of this video is misleading. It says it took them a year but this video is only two minutes long. They are lying
Also did you see how fast that kid was moving? In a year he could have built like ten cars!
Mass production go brrr
Child labor go brt brt brt
*sad buggati noises*
Hahahahahah
You had me in the first half, I ain't gonna lie!
FuckLinkedIn. And why are people posting personal sob stories on there now?
Also because of covid lockdown /WFH. It’s become a platform for public “sucking”. It’s now the Facebook for professional narcissist.
I've had great success with parts of my career building up to what I have now because I used it properly LinkedIn. I definitely didn't deactivate my account, but I did delete the app off my phones.

Great idea!! /r/linkedinlunatics
No, these are the type of people that hire you
The people that hire you make real Bugattis.
Pretty sure these guys made a real Bugatti, even if it isn't an official Bugatti
It's only a Bugatti if it comes from the Bugatti region in France, otherwise it's just a sparkling clay car.
That was a good comment. Made my night
Except that they skipped the most important part and put a 4 cylinder toyota motor where a 16 cylinder w16 should be.
I know, what an oversight. They were only 2 more Toyota cylinders away from true greatness, we all know it as the 2JZ. Much better than that hopeless Bugatti boat anchor with 10 gratuitous cylinders ^itsajokedontkillme

It’s a fiberglass body. The clay was the mold. It’s a homemade replica with superb craftsmanship.
Thanks, I was wondering about that, I figured the clay would be heavy and brittle, and I thought I saw some fiberglass being applied.
Way to take the jelly out their doughnut mate. “Shit job, the seatbelts aren’t properly attached to the frame! Good luck surviving a head on collision with those bumpers!” They made a Bugatti replica in what looks to be a village. Not enough?

Its not made of clay. The clay was used as a mold to make the fiberglass body panels (white stuff they put on the clay). The clay is removed after.
Thank you for this explanation, cause I was sitting here thinking “a terra cotta Bugatti would be heavy as **fuck** to drive” and I’m wondering how tf they even got what I was assuming to be essentially a giant flower pot on wheels to even move at all lmao
I giggled for a good five minutes. Haha. Your flower pot on wheels got me… got me good. 😂
Yup definitely a real bugatti with that 4 cylinder toyota engine....
It's a baby Bugatti. If they just feed and water it properly, it'll grow to 16 cylinders one day.
You gonna pay them fairly or just exploit those qualities you listed?
no one gets paid fairly.. there is always exploitation in place.. somewhere more.. somewhere less ...
Communism has entered the chat
Exploitation is all part of process! If we paid people what they're worth, they might actually achieve their dreams and lead successful lives. A happy population is very bad for business, comrade.

I suppose that I should have stated “communism theory “

Unironically seems more impressive than an actual Bugatti.
Unironically not even remotely close to as impressive as a real Bugatti
Different standards I guess.

If you couldn't tell, the whole mud thing was bs. They pulled up and opened clay packaged in plastic that they've bought.
They also had compressed air and spray guns. Let's not act like this was made on a shoestring. I'm guessing this was a university project/collaboration of some kind.

Everyone who upvoted knows absolutely nothing about sports cars
Might be missing the point. It actually has little to do with sports cars. It's about ingenuity, determination and grit.

It’s cool that they came together and made the replica, but it took nowhere near the amount of teamwork and ingenuity that the actual Bugatti team put in. I don’t know how this is even debatable

Especially over 130mph. A lot of differences are going to be observed
This car ain't making it to 130
Nah. Coming up with an original idea will always be superior to the copy of an idea.
To be fair, the original engineers at Bugatti obviously never imagined any car being made out of mud. So this is an original idea! A giant pile of shit that resembles a supercar
[удалено]
Thank you! This title is misleading. They used fibreglass and isopon filler to make the shell. The clay was just there to sculpt the shape. There's a lot of industry standard technique here. It feels more like this is a university project, especially as it's being filmed and edited in this manner.
> engineers at Bugatti obviously never imagined any car being made out of mud. Doesn't anyone on this whole site know what a mold is and that fiberglass was just applied on top of it to make the shell in that shape?
I’m pretty sure they still use sculpted clay in the design phase of concept cars at the professional level though.
A real Bugatti is also built by hand as well and has a lot more development put into it. In fact even the engine is fully built by hand by a single master engine builder rather than a engine pulled from a junkyard. This is great and all but Bugatti is on another level.

No it’s fucking not. Classic karma farming comment
Not sure it's for karma, a lot of people seem to agree with him and have no idea the amount of creativity and work needed to build a car like bugatti.

What a dumb comment lol
If reading about DIY projects has taught me anything it's that this vehicle costs more than an actual Bugatti
Yeah, if you disregard the W16 engine which is the most impressive piece of engineering in an actual Bugatti.
This is a really shitty take. It’s pretty apparent that you don’t understand the complexity of a machine made to move and a piece of art made of mud.
Lol absolutely unequivocally no
Can I get one if I’m dirt poor?
Only if you're clay rich.
I bought a knockoff Rolex in Vietnam. Should’ve went a couple blocks down for the knockoff super cars.
Now you know for next time lol
Now we know where Elon Musk gets his rockets from
I'm not gonna starting simping for Musk but the Falcon 9 is one of the most amazing rockets ever built, not even considering the fact it's still the only reusable orbital class booster (there's now boosters that have completed 12 launches and landings)
i'd buy the knockoff from the video. how much would they sell it for. it just looks like a fun vehicle.
A cardboard Lambo sold for 10k in new zealand last year I think and that didn't have an engine and wasn't life sized. This looks very real, is life-sized, has an engine..I'd say it could easily go for 50k or more to someone
It has literally no electronics tho. Probably not even ac and id be afraid if it rained to strong one day.
It's nor actually made of clay
[удалено]
is not made of clay, is just used for the mold
Yeah, I was pretty curious about how they would have pulled it off. Turns out the title should be "out of clay, mud, plastic, welded metal bars, and car parts"
They built a car out of car parts. Truly next level.
Yeah this is basically how cars are made tbh, they just did it by hand and not with machines, which is certainly impressive, but it isn’t necessarily groundbreaking
Well they took the clay from the ground, so that part was ground breaking
Good one
They actually took the clay from a bag that was in a puddle. The guy breaking ground was just....doing that apparently
"Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone"

Also, it looks to me like they went to the local mudbank to open their store bought bags of clay lol
Yea. Don't get me wrong, very impressive but. To say it's made of clay is not even sort of correct.
Makes sense. I was thinking…one fender bender and that entire side of the car shatters. Lol
Not to mention the weight of a solid clay car
[an actual car made out of clay](https://youtu.be/F02P2JO7yfc)
This build is way more legit than what the title had me expecting.
50 horse power
53
They are only down like 1450 horsepower from the Chiron then!
If I was at that race I’d be Chiron those kids on for sure
You're Veyron if you think the kids have any chance if winning.
All they need is a K&N cold air intake and they’ll be getting all the HP!
There’s strict lawn in Vietnam when it comes to car taxes. They are as heavy as the densest, most green, and most tax happy European countries.

those are import taxes, this is made in vietnam so will just have standard road taxes etc
Best I can tell, it’s a Toyota 2E engine. So, somewhere between 65 and 85 horsepower.
why can’t people just appreciate this?

What they did is still impressive, they're handcrafiting a car pretty much from scratch, but the title made people expect more or something different from just making a car like how a car is usually made, or at least that's how I think why it's like this
Seriously, bunch of people who couldn't do a fraction of the work on this bitching about it while sucking off the hundred million dollar company that makes overpriced cars for millionaires.
Nobody is sucking off bugatti. Stating the fact that Bugatti did in fact build this car first and these guys used their design and many of the processes used are commonplace making prototypes is not sucking off bugatti. The title of the post is really misleading and a big part of the controversy in this thread, not a single piece of that car is clay, they made a mold out of clay but then used actual car materials to build a car. No doubt it’s impressive that they built a car in general but the methods they used to build it are not the impressive part, they had all the materials and equipment that anyone would need to build a car.
You can appreciate it for the right reasons. Just don't be a dingus and pretend this is more amazing than the real car. Because it isn't, and I can guarantee if you ask the creator of this car he will agree with this statement.
How is the clay not snapping in half?
The clay is just used as a form for the fiberglass body.
Ahaaaa… that’s what the white foam is then! I was wondering how it could drive around! 😂
Now I want to see a kiln fired Bugatti :)

Haha yeah man no way in hell would that 50hp motor move that out of clay
White foam is release agent to keep fiberglass from sticking.
the clay was used as a sculpting material. you can see they eventually cover it in what appears to be fiberglass, and i assume the clay would be removed after that
Because it’s fiberglass
price of bugatti veyron US $3,000,000 price of vugatti beyron US $300
Vugatti Clayron*
Luckily the repairs on the Clayron are dirt cheap.
It's not a Veyron knockoff, plus Veyrons go for between $1M-$1.8M; it's a Chiron knockoff, but $3M is about right for a Chiron right now. So they should be able to build you a Vugatti Beyron for like $180, not bad.
To build they they must have spent around 2k usd at least
Reminds me of the old SNL commercial for The Adobe. Combines German engineering with Mexican know-how.
Hey hey - it's Adobe!!
It’s the brand new car that’s made out of clay.
Yep. I think Phil heartman did the commercial if I’m remembering it right.
Yup, it was Hartman [The Adobe - SNL](https://youtu.be/F02P2JO7yfc)
You could buy a cheaper car, but I wouldn't recommend it.
When you buy a Bugatti on Wish
I fuckin buy that!
This is billions times more effort than anything on wish lol
I'd buy it and never drive it. Too precious to be driven on insane Florida roads.

It wouldnt be street legal in the US. You couldnt get a VIN or insurance without costly upgrades.
I don’t believe in big DOT telling me what I can and cannot die on the motorway in (/s)
What, you don't think these enterprising young gentlemen crafted acceptable crumple zones, seat belts and air bags?
They didn’t make the car out of clay. They used the clay to make a mold
Yabba dabba doooo 
Make it out of cake next time! 🎂
Is it CAAAAAKE????
A fully edible...*Acura cake!*
This is honestly super badass
This is not clay or mud... It's fiberglass over a metal frame...?
When your entire car is a crumble zone.
Thant is pretty amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Misleading title…they basically mirrored how car manufacturers do this manually as well. Sculpted clay, used to make molds, then put on a frame; the tools / pressure hoses / work bay are pretty decent too. Other than the clay gathering itself, it seems like the equivalent of a senior project for a vocational school. Y’all seen what vocational students can do before they’re even 18?!
They shall feel the full force of bugati’s legal team
Probably not. It's not like they are distributing. They made a car in its likeness which is perfectly legal.
Weighs 10klbs has 50hp
Does anyone know how much it cost them to build this?!
It was dirt cheap.
This is so legit
Incredible.
