How much would it cost to design and manufacture a vehicle which is similar in size to a Vauxhall Astra? Roughly?





What would be the time scales involved?|||best to write to a car manufacturer for that information but the actual size of a car wont make any difference . ( all cars are same basically except amount of metal used for example) costs go up with adding extras such as air con. reversing sensors, glass roofs etc.


cost of design will include testing for manufacturing and a typical prototype can cost around 拢300.000 each time with Higher costs if only one or two are produced.( often made in small batches for testing and reviewing)


millions of dollars will in fact be spent by time a car reaches showroom. covering design teams. modelling. prototype parts. body work, wheels, crash testing. environment testing, safety testing. an d so on a long and complicated process . times for bringing an idea foe a new model form conception to fruition have shortened due to economics and competition . approx 18 months but can be shorter.
