Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 17

The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 17, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.

Day 14 ran from a motorcycle (2.2 m) to a nuclear submarine (170 m). The widest gap was round 4, CV-22 Osprey against Nuclear Submarine, at 9.7×; the closest call was round 3, Bugatti Chiron against School Bus, only 3.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Motorcycle (Harley-Davidson Sportster) vs Siemens Vectron

    Siemens Vectron · reference · 18.98 m
    Motorcycle · true length · 2.2 m

    8.6× shorter than the Siemens Vectron

    A Sportster is about 2.2 m long — a bicycle and a half.

  2. ROUND 2

    Airbus H135 (including rotor envelope) vs Big Boy Locomotive (engine + tender)

    Big Boy Locomotive · reference · 40.48 m
    Airbus H135 · true length · 12.26 m

    3.3× shorter than the Big Boy Locomotive

    The H135 occupies 12.26 m along its operating length, including the rotor envelope. The cabin alone is much shorter.

  3. ROUND 3

    Bugatti Chiron vs School Bus (US Type C)

    School Bus · reference · 13.7 m
    Bugatti Chiron · true length · 4.544 m

    3.0× shorter than the school bus

    The standard Chiron is 4.544 m long. This is the original body, not the extended Super Sport tail.

  4. ROUND 4

    CV-22 Osprey vs Nuclear Submarine (Ohio class)

    Nuclear Submarine · reference · 170 m
    CV-22 Osprey · true length · 17.48 m

    9.7× shorter than the nuclear submarine

    The CV-22 Osprey is about 17.48 m long. Its tiltrotors let the same aircraft use helicopter and airplane flight modes.

  5. ROUND 5

    Tesla Cybertruck vs Ariane 5 ECA

    Ariane 5 ECA · reference · 53 m
    Tesla Cybertruck · true length · 5.683 m

    9.3× shorter than the Ariane 5 ECA

    Cybertruck is about 5.68 m long with the tailgate closed — its straight roof edges can disguise that length.
