What is needed to establish a car company?
Discussion
Hey everyone,
It's my first message here, it's a pleasure to be here!
I know it sounds like a joke, but I am really wondering, what it takes to establish a car company.
Not talking about having a company the size of Volkswagen or Toyota, but one of those small factories.
I am asking you guys what do you think I need in terms of:
Manpower (how many, what profession/education, and how many of each), the amount of money it takes, are investors needed, etc.
I am posting this here because I would really appreciate any tips I can get from you guys, just share what's on your mind, even the bad things
Thanks,
TheQuest.

A selection of spanners.
I see what you did there But before I can have cars, or spanners, how do I get people together to listen to my idea and maybe find more people who share the same interest in it.
Because I have an idea for a company and I want to share it with designers/engineers/investors and so on.
I am now a mechanical engineering student, so maybe when I graduate I will think this idea is not so good as I thought, but right now it looks good at least for me

Two names spring to mind here... one is Arash Farboud. He demonstrates how if you throw vast amounts of money at a pipedream you can build a model of a car you can show off at a car show. Later on you can sell the work-in-progress to Ginetta who can make it properly, leaving you to concentrate on more pipe dreams.
The other name is Christian von Koenigsegg. He demonstrates if you are terrifyingly intelligent and innovative, and are propelled by a dream to achieve something, you could build one of the most spectacular cars in the world without an initially big pot of money.

Do you think there is a way to contact any of them and actually ask them questions ?

Yes, there are ways to contact them. But i will leave you to figure out how to do that - consider it your first test to see if you have the necessary skills to start up a successful company! Do you think there is a way to contact any of them and actually ask them questions ?

Have a look at the thread above. A regular PH'er (The Doc) is a friend of Farboud. Bump the thread or PM that user. Perhaps he can put you in touch.
