The ‘New assembly line’ at the ferrari factory in maranello, italy founded in 1929 as a racecar sponsor and manufacturer, Ferrari has been producing hand-finished road vehicles since 1947. The ferrari factory was designed by french architect jean nouvel and modernized beginning in 1997 by company President Luca di montezemolo. All ferraris in the world continue to be produced exclusively on the maranello campus, where every ferrari is produced custom to order, and all installations are performed by hand. As a result, the company produces approximately 10 to 12 cars a day. Designboom visited the ferrari factories and is excited to bring you a three-part behind-the-scenes look at the vehicles’ production. We start in this article near the end of the process, at the ‘New assembly line’ building, bringing you later this week a visual tour of the engine manufacturing facilities and a look at the ferrari design process.

I don't like ferrari too cheap

Good thinking..Good product.. sweet car!

Lamborghini hit a landmark when it sold its 10,000th Gallardo in 2010, a figure that represents more than all other models produced since the company's founding. As a replacement for the mighty Murcielago approached the zenith of its three-year development, camouflaged mules were spotted darting through Italian countrysides and along the famed Nürburgring Nordschliefe, and the 691-horsepower flagship was being "fine optimized" in preparation for production.

This mockup of an Aventador LP700-4 is used for “fine optimization,” a process in which pre-production parts are checked against each other to ensure a perfect fit before they go into production.

Though many aspects of the carbon-fiber monocoque-assembly process requires a personal touch, robots also play a part in construction.


Building a 217-mph supercar requires equal doses of bold design and race-inspired performance, but it also involves the logistical challenge of wrangling hundreds of outside suppliers. There are about 2,000 parts in an Aventador, and most of those components are sourced from 500 or so companies scattered across 30 countries.The modernist headlamps, for instance, use 84 components from 14 different suppliers, all of which must fit together with a tolerance of just 1 millimeter if they are to form a focused beam oflight. The 20 black-plastic soft-touch components found in the interior are sourced from five suppliers, and they must match perfectly. To ensure that these myriad parts will "play nicely together," a full-scale Aventador model is mocked up and its tolerances measured by an ultra-precise robotic arm. It creates a digital rendering by methodically touching every last nook and cranny with a pen-like sensor, a process called fine optimization.Once the components, tolerances, suppliers and construction techniques were finalized, the Aventador finally become ready for production in the space where Murcielagos were once built, alongside the soon-to-be updated Gallardo.

Giant autoclaves are used to cure carbon-fiber components at Lamborghini headquarters.

Fit is crucial on nearly every aspect of the carbon-fiber tub, as it will need to mate perfectly to subframes which constitute the vehicle’s extremities.

Assembling the body is a painstaking process.


Though every Lamborghini is run on an indoor dynamometer to ensure subsystems like stability control, brakes and transmission are working harmoniously at simulated speeds up to 90 mph, the final test is done on a far more realistic, and hazardous environment: Public roads. Each Aventador is sheathed in a protective layer of plastic to protect its body from pebbles and road debris. Its cabin is almost entirely swathed in tissue to ensure it remains utterly virginal before meeting its suitor.

Naturally occurring defects are marked on leather hides using a wax pencil, before a computer scans the markings and determines the most efficient way to cut the leather into pattern shapes for seats and interior upholstery trim.

Every Lamborghini engine is assembled in Sant'Agata Bolognese, including this Aventador V-12 powerplant.

Each Lamborghini engine is bench-tested before it's installed into a vehicle and dynamometer tested, as seen here. The dyno checks braking systems, stability control, and brakes at simulatedwheel speeds up to 90 mph.
