Ultimate factories. Building of Murcielago on right now.

 

saw it - fantastic.

although it seemed as though very few parts were manufacturered there. it was really moreso a rudimentary 14 phase assembly line.

 

I wonder if it's due to VW/Audi's ownership of the brand. Modules could be built at VW/Audi plants then shipped for relatively simple assembly.

It is a contrast to the Ferrari factory where they have their own mill on-site. They start from scratch, making molds out of sand and pouring/making their own engine blocks.

Either way, no easy task for either party to build some of the best cars in the world.

 

I would like to see a show on the Ferrari line, to see how it is different.
I would also like to see the Gallardo line compared to the Murcielago.

 

Damn I missed it

Hopefully it will come back on and I'll record it!

 

I saw the one about the Ferrari California, great show. I never knew the Ferrari operation was so big. They do everything on one site, from casting the engine block to sewing the leather.

 

Saw the one on the 599. I was amazed. Left me wondering if other manufactures have such high standards and procedures.

 

Yeah, they've had several "episodes" of that show... from Lambo to Ferrari to the Z06, to Freightliner.

Pretty cool show...

 

Is it mostly car factories?

Me thinks me needs to check this out.

 

I checked and it will re-air on Thursday at 3p central time if you want to set your DVR's

 

Mainly vehicular. According to their site they have one coming up on Rolls Royce, Porsche, and the new Camaro....

Sweet ^^^

 

Great website! I went through the Lamborghini portion thoroughly. I'll have to tape it too.

 

I just got back from a business trip to NYC. I DVR'd this show and just got to watch it today...WOW! It shows how each Lambo is hand assembled-even the engine. It goes through 14 assembly stations. Ironically the Murcielago SV's wheels are made by Alcoa in Cleveland and then finally machined in a city 12 miles outside of Cleveland.

 

not on hulu

 

Can't help myself....I'm watching it again tonight. I can't get enough of this.

 

There's parts of it on natgeotv.com:
