This review is transcluded from Talk:Claus Luthe/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Unfortunately, this article fails to meet the Good Article criteria. It is insufficiently referenced – several paragraphs completely lack inline citations. Please take a look at WP:CITE. Once this article is sufficiently referenced, please bring it back for a renomination. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...even though production volumes were by then up to 590 cars per day...

I'm troubled by this statement. I do not have access to your source, as far as I know, but I think your source may in any case not be accurate if this is what he says.

I'm troubled by the maths. If you divide the total number of Ro80s made - per this entry - which I believe to be roughly correct at around 37,000, then at the rate of 590 cars per day you'd need just over 63 days to get the full production produced. Hmmmm. Even of they all went home on a Friday afternoon and came back on a Monday morning, at this rate you'd get the full production out in about 12 weeks. Is someone able to check that reference and make doubly sure (for instance) that it says 590 per day and not 590 per week or per month?

Doing the sums the other way, if you take 590 per day as equating to 2,950 cars per week as equating to 150,000 cars per year, then during the car's ten year production run you'd have produced 1,500,000. If only....

I even think it vanishingly unlikely that they made anything like 590 in any week. Given the capital intensive nature of car production, even NSU would not have installed heavy presses and other expensive tooling suddenly to start churning the things out like Opel Asconas.

Any thoughts...?

Hadn't checked discussion here for a while, sorry. In any case, I re-checked the source (published by Audi, so I think it's likely accurate) and it looks like I have mis-interpreted the statement. While it does talk about the Ro 80 and specifically say "590 cars per day", I now believe that the figure is referring to total NSU production, not just the Ro 80. As such, I have removed that part from the article. Tomh009 (talk) 19:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
