Business & Startups

Assalam O Alaikum everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

For more than one and a half years, I have been working on a dream that is very close to my heart. My vision is to combine the elegance and craftsmanship of vintage-era automobiles with the technology, performance, safety, and comfort of modern vehicles by creating ultra-luxury sedans under my own brand.

After countless hours of research, sketching, redesigning, and refining, I have finally completed my first vehicle design. This is only the beginning because I have several more designs planned for the future.

Now I want to understand what it really takes to turn a design into a real, running prototype.

I have a few questions for engineers, automotive designers, manufacturers, and anyone with experience in vehicle development.

How much time does it usually take to build the first working prototype after the design is completed?

What are the major stages between a finished design and a drivable vehicle?

How can a completely new automotive brand develop its own electronic systems, including the ECU, software, wiring, control modules, infotainment, and other vehicle electronics?

If I want everything to be under my own badge and brand name, what parts can realistically be developed in-house and what usually has to be come from specialized suppliers?

How can a startup company obtain or develop a high-horsepower custom engine? Is it better to design one from scratch, work with an engineering company, or develop one based on an existing platform?

What about the transmission, suspension, chassis, braking system, steering, safety systems, crash testing, emissions compliance, and homologation? How does a new company manage all of these?

If, by the grace of Allah, I find investors willing to fund the first prototype, what would the complete process look like from that point onward?

What kind of team would I need? Which specialists, companies, and facilities are essential?

How much investment is usually required to build a luxury prototype before moving toward production?

My goal is not simply to create another car. I want to build a brand that represents timeless luxury by combining classic automotive design with modern engineering while eventually developing as much technology as possible under our own name.

I know this is an ambitious vision, and I understand that building a car company requires years of dedication, engineering expertise, and significant investment. That is exactly why I am asking these questions. I want to learn from people who have real experience in the automotive industry.

If you are an automotive engineer, designer, manufacturer, supplier, investor, or someone who has worked on prototype development, I would truly appreciate your advice. Every piece of guidance will help me better understand what it takes to turn this dream into reality.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

May Allah bless you all.

Salam. I got to know this lady thru the app but after chatting on whatsapp shes adamant that i set up somekind of online shop thru the portal in which she has an online shop there too. But the portal seems suspicious n she being adamant kinda add to the suspicion too. She says she does wholesale of products for tikt0k but the website isnt even linked to tikt0k or show anything related to it. Google search has also led me to find that theres no such thing as wholesale platforms for Tikt0k!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
