Rear view mirrors

Just a little information.

The rear view mirrors are not missing on the Agora Model of the Miura, they were optional! Magic 60's 😃

That's exactly how it is... And if you only have it mounted on the driver's side

I checked the weight of a Miura which is around 1300 kgs... in 1/8 scale it means the model should weight 1300:8= 163 kgs 🤔

miscalculation
1300 ÷ 100 = 13 x 8 = 104

What is the correct formula then to check the size?

To make it simple, should a car be 8m long (it is a very very long car...🤑), then a 1/8 scale model of this car would be 8m divided by 8, which gives a model of  1m long. Or am I wrong?

Are the models weight actually 1/8 of the original car? I did not think so. I wish the models were lighter than they are.

Just found this...

Weight scales, but not in quite the way you imagine.

a 1/10th car is 1/10th of the length. It is also 1/10th of the width and 1/10th of the height.

If you took ten of your toy cars and laid them end to end they would be as long as your real car, but still 1/10th the width and 1/10th the height. So we would need 100 cars in ten rows of ten to be the same length and width, and 1000 toy cars to be the same length, width and height.

So your 1/10th size car, if it were made from the same materials as the real car, would be 1/1000th the weight.

1300 : 512 = 5,3 kgs should be the scale weight of the 1/8 scale MIURA 🤔

 

512 = 8L x 8W x 8H
