50 years in sixty seconds

  • The auto industry has undergone a meteoric evolution over the past decades, from design and production to exports
  • The same number of cars that used to be made in one day now only takes 3 minutes
  • Compared to the two years of waiting for a #Seat 600, today you can buy a car in 10 minutes and with 5 clicks of a mouse

Black and white images as opposed to ultra HD 4K video, faxes versus apps and vinyl LPs against mp3. Society has evolved tremendously in the past 50 years, but in what ways has the car industry changed? We take a look at some of the figures that give an idea of just how much:

From pencil and eraser to virtual reality: a modern design and development centre looks nothing like the ones in the 60s and 70s. Compasses, erasers and long work tables with endless piles of drawings have given way to tablets, virtual reality glasses and floating screens. “Thanks to virtual reality, today designs can be 90% validated without having to model any car parts”, says Manel Garcés, who is responsible for Visualisation and Digital Design Processes at #Seat.
