You can take the plate off while racing, though. Besides, I'm pretty sure they painted the emblem for aerodynamic reasons, not for weight, as all you'd have to do is eat a donut before getting in the car to make the measures taken to lose the weight the emblem pointless.
@@DominikMaslyk they do for the military, but otherwise no. Although i think it is sometimes aviable on trailers or farming equipment such as tractors and stuff.
I mean a decal under the clearcoat would be just fine. How bout Merc focus on actually building reliable and exciting cars and then reallocate the hand painting budget to making sure they don’t get bought out by tata or fiat.
I doubt it's for weight. Likely for aerodynamic reasons. There's no way they did that to save a few grams when all the driver has to do is take a sip of water before getting into the car to make the weight savings pointless.
I always wondered. At the point where you take off the badge to save weight, wouldn’t it just be better to tell the owner to hit the gym and lose a few pounds?? I mean it probably has more of an effect than taking off the badge
I’ve never had a good impression about Shmee , too much forced smiling. For hm not to raise the aerodynamic implications, yet mention weight Is shockingly disappointing
That weight is not going to do anything , its it's negligible, I would want a badge paying so much , the car should come with light weight boot and suite to save that weight and a dietitian if they wanna be technical 😂
They did that too on the Merc EQXX concept. It's Ok but for me, the badge is one of the few tangible things that gives a car it's identity, so they could have spared it by making it thinner then made the car more powerful by 5 Cc to compensate for the few grams. With its price an owner could buy a whole other chase car to carry the badge around in a case 😁
It's definitely not for weight. If that was the case they would be using very basic paint. 18 layers can weigh kilos all up. It's almost certainly for aerodynamic flow over the bonnet. For downforce cars, little imperfections like the Merc logo can have a significant effect on aero features down stream, such as the cooling vent in front of the windshield or any vortex generators further down the car.
People think it's for weight savings, but it's actually for aerodynamics. The bumpy surface of a logo creates just a bit of distortion to the air that goes to the windshield and towards the sides
I thought it would've had more to do with aerodynamics? I don't know the most on the topic, but I feel like a badge would disrupt the flow and possibly make it more turbulent. Having flat/smooth paint probably negates that
I imagine to be able to drive a car like this, they probably have a weight category for the driver to fit into....I mean I'd give up those chicken nuggets for this beautiful machine B)
I would imagine that it has less to do with weight and more to do with air turbulence. The badges create tiny disturbances in the air as it passes over the car, and the faster the car is traveling, the further that disturbance travels over the car impacting ducting and other lowered efficiencies.
Cracks me up. "Hand painted under the laquer" thats a Urethane clear coat. American manufactures stopped using lacquer finishes in the 1970s and the Europeans never really used Laquer at all.
I think having the badge painted rather than stuck on is more for less drag. The difference in weight between a plastic ring and 18 layers of paint I don't think would be enough to warrant painting over sticking on a piece of plastic. But when there's something stuck on, there's that bit which gets caught on the air when you're flying over 330 km/hr
No, I think it's more for aerodynamics. The metal logo sticks above the surface while the painted one is flush with the surface making it more slippery.

A second that
They saved about as much weight as removing leaves stuck on windshield wipers with this one
But then they put a real license plate and plate holder on it instead of a sticker
This is not made for public roads and the people who own these get get around not having a plate in their car
Besides plate numbering options is not in their control , so what they've done is cover all areas (weight-reduction wise) under their control
I don’t think German plates can come in sticker form

Dude's thinking paint is made of steel or something?

That is what you call taking aerodynamics to another level.

When you can't afford a badge but remember you went to art school:
Light and smooth for aerodynamics.
It’s not just weight reduction it’s also a aerodynamic improvement from some thing in the way to a smooth surface
