About Markey

A free encyclopedia of production cars where every figure is sourced or computed, and every gap is shown as a gap. No account, no ads, nothing to subscribe to, and no server to send anything to.

Who made this

Kiarash Farajzadehahary

Scientist · developer · designer

Every car site I read either copied its numbers from another one without saying where they came from, or filled the gaps with something that looked right. I wanted one where each figure names its source, each calculation shows its working, and a number nobody has published stays empty. I build it in the open, on my own time, and I would genuinely like to hear when something here is wrong.

Support

Markey is free, ad-free and login-free, and stays that way. If it settled an argument or saved you an evening of cross-checking, you can put something toward the next hundred cars.

Where it stands

Cars: 199
Nameplates: 116
Brands: 33
Photographs: 327
Cited sources: 249

Counted from the published content at build time. The catalogue grows nameplate by nameplate; every figure in it is checked by the same build that publishes it.

What makes it different

Anyone has a spec sheet. The difference here is that every number is either sourced or computed, and says which. The site would rather show you a gap than a plausible guess, so a figure nobody has published reads "not yet available" instead of quietly appearing as a number someone made up.

Anything you save, such as a garage, a comparison or a car you built, stays in your own browser or travels in a link you choose to share. There is no server to send it to.

How to read a figure

Every measurement on the site carries one of four confidence marks.

Verified: Taken from a cited source, linked on the page. This is the default, so it carries no badge; the other three do.
Estimated: Calculated or approximated rather than measured, with the basis stated next to the figure: a frontal area derived from width and height, say, rather than published by the manufacturer.
Not yet available: We do not have it. The field is deliberately empty, and the schema itself forbids a placeholder from carrying a number.
Sources disagree: Published sources conflict, and rather than silently picking one, the page says so and explains the conflict.

What this site will not do

No generated car imagery. Image models get generation and trim details wrong, which is exactly what this site exists to get right. Every photograph here is a real one, credited to the person who took it.
No invented numbers. Not as a placeholder, not to fill a table, not to make a page look finished.
No insurance quotes or investment advice. Insurance is personal, actuarial and regulated; a static site cannot responsibly estimate a real premium, so it does not try.
