In all seriousness, how hard would it be to build an actual Canyonero? Necessary specifications: >36 feet long >Approx. 12-18 feet wide >functional 4wd >seating for 35 people >curb weight of ~130,000 lbs >able to be operated by an ordinary driver
>>16966 36 feet is just shy of a 40ft double length shipping container. It's pretty hard to make an 18 tonne van look like a car.
>>16967 It's 65 tons.
>>16966 >long like a lorry >heavy like a lorry >35 seats >5 doors I think it cannot fit under and over bridges.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZeFDe44Ddo >>16972 That's fine, it doesn't have to be suitable for highway/city driving at all.
>>16976 I just wonder how the 35 seats are set. Like are there two levels like a London bus? We must prototype the Canyonero.

>>16981 Pretty sure it's hyperbole. This sprite from one of the games seems to indicate the Canyonero is an 8-seater, if we presume the middle and rear row are bench seats.
>>16983 Games are almost never canon.
>>16983 If they say 35 seats, we'll make it 35 seats.
>>16985 Can't we just buy some lidded dump truck, put 35 seats in it and call it a day?
>>16987 Not quite, although that might be a good platform to start with. It's got to take up two lanes.

Hard for who? The bigger question is how much will it cost?
>>16984 Far more conventional and resembles how it looks however.
>>16981 It's two lanes wide, so a single row could reasonably fit 6 people. It's more than double the length of a Suburban (a little over 16 feet for the current generation), so six rows of seats will fit with room to spare. 5 rows of passenger bench seats that seat six each. The front row consists of two bucket seats as seen in the intro of the video, with a three-man bench under the center console armrest (which I assume is lifted up and down using a motorized gas spring).
