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.

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.
