Are Chinese Knockoff Cars Any Good? | WheelHouse 

Maybe

I was like wow, that's a small V8 😂

Ls swap them all. Turn them into drift cars. *Boom*

But hey, we at least made the Nio ep9

How did the guy talking, the people behind the camera filming and however many people edited and viewed this video before it was posted not catch this?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

underrated, needs more likes

🤣🤣

All GTA cars are like that lol

So true

You think a stock mx5 goes 0-60 in under 4 seconds? That's supercar Territory. Either way this car tops out at 200

@@Darkest_matter that is no where near super car territory. My dads trailblazer ss that is stock does 0-60 in 4.6 and it’s 4700 pounds. His friends with a supercharger and a cam that weighs over 5000 does it in 4.2

the car reminds me of the rimac concept cars

@@quickrider3855 exactly that's quick, just cause it's not the same as a agers, gtr, or agents for doesn't mean it isn't fast

@@kurtsudheim825 that is not super car level. I never said it wasn’t quick my guy

Lmfao

Toxicity _ I remember back when I was in HS my mom bought us a POLYstation, she said the guy in the store told her it was just the same as a Playstation only cheaper. That knock-off looked like a Playstation but runs cartridge games.

When I went to China, I saw the land river

LOL

For what its worth, Landwind was using the original Mitsubishi 2.4liter turbo motor. Definitely more reliable than land rover

😂😂😂😂

XD

Lmao 💀🤣🤣🤣

That explains it.

the only difference here is that rockstar’s knockoff’s actually look good

@@eggvan3314 that can be debated.

@@ShinyChroma what cant be debated is that a lot of thought goes into GTA cars, specially from GTA IV onwards. More often than not, GTA cars look like they could be real designs, and not just a slight modification of a single car.

why u making it sound like rockstar is doing a bad thing?

There’s a difference between a knock off and a counterpart. Hell what next is California gonna sue rockstar because Los Santos is eerily similar ro Los Angeles?

wow this hit.

Oh man..

That’s a slapper 😂

They recognized that in the comments

Oh, well thanks. I probably should have read that instead of just scrolling past it. Lol.

@DonutMedia... For a second there, this was almost word for word the 🍩 Media comment.

Yeah mostly GMC and Chevy vehicles are same under different names and slightly different styles. Our company bought GMC and Chevy 3500HD models in 2021 and from inside no one can tell the difference without looking at the logo on steering wheel

Another example is the BRZ, the FR-S, and the GR86, which are all the same car.

@@endgamerplays That's more so collaborative engineering, which is when two or more companies work on a set platform and utilize each other's design language and technology. Take for example, the BRZ and GR86. Both share Subaru's FA24 boxer 4 with Toyota's D-4S fuel injection system and body styling and each company manufactures their own badged models for their own retailing.

Except the Chineses knockoffs are only visually the same, the frame and sub-frame structure is completely different, and you will not survive a serious car wreck in a chinese car.

Or crumple zones, look at any of the crash testing videos on the Chinese cars, and usually the engine is getting pushed all they way to the back passenger seats.

And you know how western media works most they just wanna see how shit we are like 20 years ago.

They even got Electronic Arts to remove the visual customization options for all Ferraris in de Real Racing 3 mobil game! Now dat JLR has gone to court, I'm pretty sure Ferrari will serve a cease & desist order too.. Wud b interestin

Yup, 308 gts

yes, if the same guy cannot make 2 separate designs for two different companies, he himself is a knockoff.

@@bhauri have you looked at the car market? If you say yes I say hello Ray Charles or hello Stevie Wonder, or are you the gal Lionel Richie was stalking in that music video?

Interesting.. like musicians, designers will always have a certain style no matter who they're with. So I definitely wouldn't count this as a copy. Boston whaler, edgewater and Everglades all have similarly because of the one man.

No no, you're right the 300C is based on a 1997 Mercedes E class 🤣🤦‍♂️(a period when Mercedes themselves weren't making particularly good cars) I actually quite like the old 300C looks wise but it stops there.

I cant handle this propaganda (/racism, fascism, sexism, etc)" if Hyundai sued a local american and "small"/ family owned car business, and the people then supporting the small business would be patriotic.

@@kirill6850 doesn't help that the Chinese have always felt bullied by the international community, (and they were, mostly by the europeans) it's not victim mentality per say, it's more like Bully envy, the first chance they get they do the same thing and step it up a notch.

Search RU-vid for Landwind crash test videos. If anything were ever needed to convince you that buying a Landwind is a bad idea, that ought to do it. Anyone that buys one of these tinfoil tanks deserves their Darwin Award.

Thats an insult to the copy.

Get a new fucking joke 😴 it’s 2019 not 2003

The knockoff win by default

The interesting thing about these 4-cylinder motors is that a significant number of them can trace their roots back to an old Mitsubishi engine that the Japanese company has licensed to a number of Chinese automakers (and I suspect there are a few who did not pay the licesing fee).

CrLe no shit

Of course it is french

It's the British thing of claiming things we don't own. Old habits die hard

Americans only know us, China, and Russia, maybe Canada and Mexico

Yup. Late to the game, but that's what a "night shift" means in China. Often you also see factories stopping their relationship with a western company, starts a domestic company of their own and just continuing to manufacture the original product. But also... like.. how "western" companies often come up with "new ideas" - they just go shopping for something that's already out in Shenzhen and slap a western brand badge on it, often marketing it as like revolutionary. So there's that. With tech China is just 10 years ahead. And it's deeper than "copying", it's part of the philosophy there - to "master" something you replicate what the masters are doing. When you can do that perfectly, then it's start to make something of it's own. Also also... if we all just think of it as sharing, it's good for everyone. Sharing instead of stealing. Like many big brands spend about 1/3d of their budget just protecting ip's. When they could just see it as a reason to further innovate. Someone "stole" your idea? Well, manufacture it better or continue innovating. Wired did an excellent documentary about Shenzen a while ago.
