: For a 1:4 scale (which is quite large for paper), you may need thicker cardstock or internal support structures to prevent the model from sagging.

Watch these step-by-step tutorials to learn different methods for building high-speed paper cars, from simple origami to complex 1:4 scale F1 models:

: For functional motion, roll small strips of paper into tight tubes to create axles, and use taped paper circles for 3D wheels.

: A favorite for fans of Fast & Furious , these models can be made using simple paper folding and are often available as detailed DIY Papercraft 3D models .

: If you want the car to actually be fast (e.g., for a paper car race), use a wedge shape . Research suggests that adding more weight to the rear, similar to a pinewood derby car, helps maintain momentum.
