i'd say I have a well above average mechanical knowledge but this is an awesome watch

I had a DVD pack with Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Rolls Royce and some other factory featured.

Definitely a fascinating watch.

It does make you wonder about the £100+K price tags when you see how quickly they throw the cars together!!

I was lucky enough to go on a tour around the factory last year. It's very impressive indeed!

50 stages from shell to finished car, I cant remember exactly but it didn't take that long for a car to make it's way all around the production line. Timed to the minute at each stage.

I guess it's just standard production line stuff really, just with nicer motors and on a smaller scale.

I think it was double digits of "cars per day", should have paid more attention.

Worth noting all the V8 cars come off the same production line, and all the V12's off another (slightly shorter) line upstairs. So the cars going around the V8 line are mixed models, I guess depending on the order of the waiting list!

Wasn't so impressed with the engine workshop though, yes all hand built but not in the slightest bit reminiscent of the laboratory like facility of the main production line or what I've seen of Mclaren (in photos only)



I'd still have a Ferrari if I had the money!
