Deceptively Small Vehicles

[sirswank]

here's my 5'11" self and a pair of veyron. shockingly small, especially given the weight.




the FR-S is tiny too. the lowered ones pictured in the other thread probably only come up to my waist.

The Bugatti Veyron is much smaller than I had expected it to be, especially after seeing a couple in person. It's just as wide as a MK6 Golf, and only 200mm longer.

I got behind a Veyron on the freeway (sorry, I don't remember if it was 75 or what) in Knoxville (Knoxville? Really?), and it blew my mind how small it was.

Saw a McLaren F1 at a show once and that thing looked about the same size, but is apparently even smaller. Crazy.

I'm still stunned by the size of the 964 . . .

Park a late year Camry instead of that Porsche and you ll see how massive it is, I saw yesterday one parked sideways to a C class, I was like whoa.

Not that our 04 Grand Caravan is small, but I parked next to a new Sequioa, and that thing was huuugge!!

Yes! Cars and Coffee was there before this D-bag killed it . . .

Fortunately it is still held at Vintage Park after this incident:

Wow. I knew about the Uptown Park incident, and another with a Viper during the brief run at Edwards Center, but didn't know there had already been a D-bag crash at Vintage Park.
Although off-topic, I was there this past weekend and think it's jumped the shark, I think VP is on its last legs as host.

McLaren F1. Statistically, it's about the same size as my TT-RS only much shorter. Its lowness to the ground and visual cues make it seem even smaller. Parked in front of the late model Ferrari and Lambo in the picture, it looked tiny up close.

We had a loaner Cobalt coupe and parked it next to our Forester.

The Forester is shorter in length.

Was this taken at Symbolic Motors near San Diego?

Gallardo. Actually very small in real life.

It's pretty wide but short (height and lengthwise)

This is the first car that came to mind when seeing the thread title. They look huge in pics but tiny in person

The C6 is also a good one. A lot of people seem to think they're big cars but they're no bigger than a 911 (and weigh less too)

Should've clarified, but yes that's what I was referring to. The amount of car from the cowl to the front bumper is surprisingly small.

Saw one of these R8 LMP900 Le Mans race cars at Waterfest. For some reason I had it pictured as really long...I guess because it looks sort of like a big sled When I saw it I was like Wayyy smaller than I figured.
