Ferrari Mega Factory
 

Heyas,

Not sure if anyone saw this lastnight on National Geographic channel, but it was fookin awesome.

1hr long show all about the Ferrari 599 being built from the very beginning, and that includes them creating the block from their 'secret' metal in their foundry.

Absolutely awesome watch - I've recorded it on my Foxtel unit, but dunno how to rip of off the HDD! :(

You will need a Bit Torrent client, Azureus etc etc.

Love that doco. But its been repeated so many times It makes me wonder why I pay for foxtel. Original airing was months ago.

seen it.... love the way they dremel the sand casting to make sure its totally perfect which removes the need to port and polish the metal once its cast.... awesome.

do you think in 20 years that kind of quality construction will be used in mainstream cars?

Unlikely, probably go the other way ..

After watching that doco, the price tags are justified big time.

I think you will find that electric cars will be the norm in 20 years. Provided that the oil industry does not kill them off as they usually do. They are by far the best solution. Huge torque, very low part count, Lower center of gravity, more fuel efficient, etc etc. They are just better at eveything except absolute range.

I think Hydrogen cars will probaly come before Electric cars still use a piston engine so wont be much change and the fumes are water cant get much better then that.

30hrs worth of sewing (interior) per car.......

whats the doco called?
