00:01:17
Ferrari to some it's a
00:01:22
car to others it's a work of
00:01:28
art to many it's the perfect Fusion of
00:01:32
both the name Ferrari conjures high
00:01:36
performance and breathtaking

00:01:44
aura of Legend and Mystique through the

power and where cars are created like
00:02:48
sculptures its buildings are every bit
00:02:50
as sleek and modern as the cars created
00:02:54
here because Ferrari makes cars for the
00:02:57
street and for the racetrack the factory
00:03:00
boasts some unique

dream for us Italians Ferrari has always
00:03:47
been a myth always I mean the boys here
00:03:51
grow up with Ferrari

00:04:01
security is

intense for Ferrari's Formula 1 team
00:04:07
that's based at the factory there's the

00:04:17
go straight into its street
00:04:26
cars this is the fastest and most
00:04:28
powerful production car Ferrari has ever
00:04:31
designed the Fano
00:04:35
599 its speed tops 200 mph and it's

00:05:12
newest
00:05:15
model so have 60 years of
00:05:18
History Ferrari's legendary founder Enzo
00:05:21
Ferrari was a racing
00:05:25
purist to him Ferrari's street cars were
00:05:28
just a way to help fund his for Formula
00:05:30
1
00:05:35
team early Ferrari sports cars may have
00:05:38
been beautiful to look at but they were
00:05:40
notoriously hard to drive their racing
00:05:43
characteristics weren't suited to the
00:05:45
open
00:05:47
road but over the decades ver has moved
00:05:50
closer and closer to designing a sports
00:05:52
car that puts all the company's Formula
00:05:54
1 experience into the ultimate Street
00:05:57
Machine
00:06:00
the fiorano 599 is that
00:06:04
car Ferrari's designers and workers face
00:06:07
a daunting challenge build a car with
00:06:10
the so and speed of a Formula 1
00:06:15
racer but that handles smooth as silk on
00:06:18
real world
00:06:19
streets make it beautiful befitting the

Ferrari's Marinello
00:06:45
Factory it's a vast complex 45 buildings
00:06:50
with enough space to fit 50 football
00:06:53
[Music]
00:06:54
fields in all eight separate sections of
00:06:57
the factory will build the 5 9 from
00:07:01
scratch from the fires of The
00:07:04
Foundry to the beauty of the body shop
00:07:08
from the robotic Precision of the engine
00:07:10
works in the paint shop to the hand
00:07:12
crafting of the 599's leather
00:07:15
upholstery and the final assembly line
00:07:18
where it all comes
00:07:19
[Music]
00:07:22
together the Factory's first challenge
00:07:25
giving the 599 its signature trait speed
00:07:31
the 599 boasts a V12 engine putting out
00:07:34
620
00:07:42
horsepower and The Foundry is where that
00:07:44
key component begins its
00:07:47
life here Ferrari's metal workers have
00:07:50
to cast the two core elements of the
00:07:53
engine the cylinder head and the engine
00:07:56
block
00:07:59
most factories mass-produce these parts
00:08:02
but Ferrari turns them out one at a
00:08:07
time a separate mold is made for every
00:08:09
single
00:08:11
engine they're made out of compacted
00:08:13
sand and
00:08:18
resin other car companies use sand
00:08:23
casts but at high-end factories like
00:08:25
Ferrari workers finish the sand molds by
00:08:28
hand
00:08:35
it takes around 5 hours to hand finish
00:08:37
the molds for a single V12
00:08:44
engine they're fitted together like an
00:08:46
intricate three-dimensional
00:08:48
jigsaw to minimize the chance of chips
00:08:51
cracks or
00:08:53
flaws this will be cast into the
00:08:55
cylinder head of a 599
00:09:01
a flaming torch blackens the sand model
00:09:04
with a thin layer of
00:09:06
carbon the carbon layer acts as a
00:09:08
lubricant to let the molten metal flow
00:09:11
smoothly into the spaces of the
00:09:14
[Music]
00:09:16
cast it's time the molds are
00:09:22
ready the molten metal is prepared just
00:09:25
as carefully as the sand molds
00:09:30
in the melting process obviously there
00:09:32
can't be any mistakes it has to be of
00:09:35
the highest quality to be able to
00:09:37
sustain a car that goes over 200
00:09:44
[Music]
00:09:47
mph at temperatures of over 1300° F the
00:09:52
heart of the 599 engine begins its fiery
00:09:55
birth
00:09:59
[Music]
00:10:08
this is what they're going to
00:10:10
[Applause]
00:10:12
build this is where it
00:10:16
starts in the Ferrari Foundry the main
00:10:20
furnace is fired
00:10:21
up the metal will be cast into the core
00:10:24
of the 599's mighty engine is being
00:10:26
melted
00:10:29
some of the raw metal being fed into the
00:10:31
furnace comes from previously cast
00:10:33
components that have failed Ferrari's
00:10:35
quality
00:10:38
checks the metal melts almost instantly
00:10:42
as massive electrical charges are fired
00:10:44
through
00:10:45
it melting the two tons of metal in
00:10:48
furnace uses enough electricity in one
00:10:51
day to light a house for a year
00:10:59
the raw molten metal pours into a giant
00:11:01
Crucible for further
00:11:04
purifying at
00:11:06
1300° it looks like liquid
00:11:09
silver but this is a super strong super
00:11:12
secret aluminum alloy specifically
00:11:15
created for Ferrari's
00:11:23
engines nitrogen pumps through the metal
00:11:26
in The Crucible combining with any
00:11:28
impurities which float to the
00:11:33
surface the pure alloy is transferred to
00:11:36
smaller holding tanks from which the
00:11:39
engine components will be
00:11:42
cast this mold of compacted sand is
00:11:44
about to become the cylinder head of one
00:11:47
of the most powerful production car
00:11:48
engines ever
00:11:50
[Music]
00:11:56
made the metal gushes into the
00:12:00
mold there's a casting here every 10
00:12:06
minutes incredibly only one in every 50
00:12:10
components fails its quality test and is
00:12:12
sent back to the scrap
00:12:14
Heap while The Foundry casts the
00:12:16
Ferrari's B12
00:12:19
heart in another building workers
00:12:22
fashion its
00:12:25
body like many high-end sports car
00:12:27
makers Ferrari's body sh is part Art
00:12:33
Studio but while the 599 may be
00:12:36
Ferrari's latest artwork it's also a
00:12:39
masterpiece of aerodynamic
00:12:43
engineering thousands of hours have gone
00:12:45
into designing a sports car that's not
00:12:48
only beautiful but can cheat the air
00:12:50
almost as well as Ferrari's Formula 1
00:12:52
race
00:12:55
cars in essence the 599's body shape is
00:12:58
the opp opposite of an aircraft
00:13:01
Wing at high speed its streamlined body
00:13:04
creates negative
00:13:06
lift using the airf flow over and
00:13:08
through it to press the car to the
00:13:15
road at its top speed of over 200
00:13:19
mph that downforce is equivalent to a
00:13:22
400 lb weight
00:13:29
the downforce means more secure Road
00:13:31
handling and far better traction out of
00:13:34
[Music]
00:13:37
Corners the Ferrari streamlined body
00:13:40
needs strong
00:13:42
support if you want to put a Formula 1
00:13:44
race car on the street you need a
00:13:47
chassis that can take the stresses of
00:13:49
high speed and high
00:13:52
performance made entirely of aluminum
00:13:55
alloy the 599's chassis must be strong
00:13:58
enough to do three things H withstand
00:14:00
high-speed
00:14:02
impacts anchor the 500 lb V12
00:14:06
engine which produces a tremendous
00:14:08
amount of torque and
00:14:11
power the chassis also has to provide a
00:14:14
strong mount for the wheel assembly and
00:14:23
suspension at high speeds the wheels of
00:14:25
a sports car go up and down like a
00:14:27
jackhammer
00:14:29
so Ferrari equipped the 599's chassis
00:14:31
with super tough suspension
00:14:34
mounts regular cars chassis are put
00:14:37
together by machines but high
00:14:39
performance sports cars like the 599 are
00:14:42
hand
00:14:44
welded it means the chassis can be more
00:14:47
exactly shaped and the body panels more
00:14:50
precisely
00:14:53
fitted with the 599's chassis now welded
00:14:56
and the first of its body panels
00:14:58
attached
00:14:59
it's time for one of the Factory's
00:15:01
robots to take
00:15:10
over it's basically a gigantic
00:15:17
stapler the robot is programmed to
00:15:20
precisely Drive 180 rivets at specific
00:15:23
points over the entire
00:15:26
chassis the rivets give the car the
00:15:29
muscle to hold itself together at 200
00:15:31
plus
00:15:33
[Music]
00:15:39
mph but the chassis can't move down the
00:15:42
line before it passes a rigorous
00:15:51
test another robot comes into play
00:15:54
equipped with needlelike probes
00:15:59
the probes test the chassis in 800
00:16:01
different
00:16:05
places at each point they touch the
00:16:12
metal they're measuring the body against
00:16:14
a computer
00:16:15
model searching for tiny cracks in the
00:16:18
metal or any flaw in the chassis's
00:16:21
overall
00:16:24
shape if a flaw is detected the chassis
00:16:27
is sent back but that only happens to
00:16:29
one in every
00:16:31
hundred after an exhaustive examination
00:16:34
the robot arms raise for the last time
00:16:37
the 599's metal skeleton is now ready to
00:16:40
receive the rest of its sculpted body
00:16:43
[Music]
00:16:48
panels back in The Foundry the engine
00:16:51
casts are
00:16:56
complete 7 minutes later the casts have
00:16:59
cooled enough for the sand molds to be
00:17:02
removed there's nothing too Hightech
00:17:05
about this
00:17:06
process the compressed sand is just
00:17:08
shaken off the solidified
00:17:14
metal the high performance specs of the
00:17:16
599 require engine parts that are
00:17:20
perfect powerful x-rays scan the cast
00:17:23
components looking for microscopic
00:17:26
cracks or flaws in the metal
00:17:29
the slightest vibration from a defect in
00:17:31
the finished engine will be magnified at
00:17:34
high
00:17:36
speed worst case scenario the engine
00:17:39
itself could
00:17:43
fail components that pass the X-ray test
00:17:46
are hand finished then they're checked
00:17:51
again it's no surpris that Ferrari
00:17:53
Foundry workers feel they're making more
00:17:56
than just an engine
00:18:01
we create the soul and then someone else
00:18:03
adds the organs to make it
00:18:08
live in the body shop metal is becoming
00:18:11
art as the 599 Sleek outer shell meets
00:18:14
its
00:18:17
chassis when anyone thinks of a Ferrari
00:18:20
you think of two things in particular
00:18:22
one the motor immense power the sound
00:18:25
the growl of it and second the external
00:18:28
beauty of the
00:18:31
Ferrari like its chassis the Ferrari's
00:18:34
body panels are
00:18:37
aluminum it may be the most powerful
00:18:40
production car the company's ever
00:18:42
made but it's fully aluminum
00:18:44
construction means it's also one of the
00:18:47
lightest the 599 has more power
00:18:50
propelling Less
00:18:57
Car workers the do hood and trunk to
00:19:00
their Precision hinges and align them to
00:19:02
within a thousandth of an
00:19:06
inch from this point on it's all about
00:19:09
art creating a finished body that's as
00:19:12
close to Flawless as
00:19:17
possible The Body Shop Specialists check
00:19:20
for trouble spots dense or flaws no
00:19:23
matter how
00:19:25
small to Ferrari people this is no
00:19:28
longer longer a car it's a
00:19:33
sculpture in a sealed plexiglass room
00:19:36
where no spec of dust can interfere with
00:19:38
its final inspection the 599 is given
00:19:41
the thumbs up to move out of the body
00:19:46
shop we'd have to guarantee the perfect
00:19:49
shape the unique finishing consequently
00:19:52
the perfect paint job
00:19:59
this aluminum artwork is now on track
00:20:01
with a perfect
00:20:03
finish the workers of The Foundry and
00:20:05
The Body Shop have done their
00:20:07
jobs the 599 Soul has been smelted from
00:20:11
raw
00:20:12
metal its body assembled with
00:20:15
Precision but there's still a lot of
00:20:17
mechanical magic to be spun at this

at Ferrari's Marinello Factory in
00:20:42
Northern Italy The Unfinished Fano 599
00:20:45
takes its next step towards the Finish
00:20:50
Line This is Ferrari's 21st century
00:20:53
paint shop one of the most advanced of
00:20:56
its kind in any car factory
00:21:01
the environment is a high priority for
00:21:03
this paint shop most materials are
00:21:07
water-based and nearly all waste is
00:21:09
captured and
00:21:17
recycled Formula 1 Racers don't have to
00:21:20
worry about rust but the 599 is built
00:21:23
for the
00:21:26
streets before they can be painted
00:21:29
every 599 car body receives an
00:21:31
anti-corrosion
00:21:35
treatment Ferrari claims it's the most
00:21:37
advanced rust proofing in the
00:21:39
world a claim that's hard to test
00:21:42
because the chemical process going on
00:21:43
here is a trade
00:21:49
secret the on ton bodies are plunged
00:21:52
tipped and
00:21:55
shaken every one of these giant bads
00:21:58
chemically Alters the metal of the car's
00:22:00
body creating a super thin armor against
00:22:03
the
00:22:06
elements these anti-corrosion bands also
00:22:09
give the 599's body a positive
00:22:11
electrical
00:22:12
charge that's vital for the next stage
00:22:14
of the painting
00:22:20
process at the end of this tunnel lies
00:22:23
the real work of the paint shop
00:22:29
a glass walled hermetically sealed Place
00:22:31
populated by graceful robots and their
00:22:33
human
00:22:37
controllers the chambers are sealed to
00:22:40
avoid any air drafts that might cause
00:22:42
the tiny particles of primer and paint
00:22:44
to drift and create an uneven
00:22:49
finish this first coat is primer a
00:22:53
special compound that binds the actual
00:22:55
paint to the body
00:22:59
the primer is a fine dust as fine as
00:23:02
talcum
00:23:04
powder it sticks to the body because of
00:23:06
the electrical charge the metal was
00:23:08
given
00:23:11
earlier the body Glides into a giant

00:24:59
the 599 engine's 800
00:25:03
components it alone takes nearly an hour
00:25:05
to
00:25:10
make but while the emphasis is on hand
00:25:13
crafting there are two very special
00:25:16
robots in the engine
00:25:19
[Music]
00:25:20
works the first is a robot they call
00:25:23
Romeo and
00:25:27
Juliet these these two arms are Romeo
00:25:30
giving Juliet a
00:25:34
ring but this is no ordinary
00:25:38
Ring The Ring is actually the valve seat
00:25:41
in the engine cylinder it forms a seal
00:25:44
through which the valve moves and allows
00:25:46
air into the chamber where it mixes with
00:25:48
the fuel and explodes with the valve
00:25:50
moving in and out thousands of times a
00:25:52
second the valve seat must be tight
00:25:56
immovable in fact if it came loose it
00:25:59
could enter the engine and cause
00:26:01
complete
00:26:09
failure Romeo dips each Val ring into a
00:26:12
bath of liquid
00:26:13
nitrogen freezing it to- 300° and
00:26:17
shrinking it by a tiny
00:26:21

00:29:40
check the slightest surface flaws in the

Line Ferrari's Marinello Factory has
00:32:16
given the newly designed 599 its
00:32:19
powerful heart and its beautiful
00:32:21
body two challenges met but that power
00:32:25
will have to be harnessed and that body
00:32:28
kept on the road if this air to a
00:32:30
Formula 1 racer is to perform on the
00:32:36

00:32:53
during its final assembly
00:32:58
at the top of the line the 599's biggest
00:33:01
heaviest most crucial component finally
00:33:04
meets the body it will Propel at speeds
00:33:06
of over 200

weight the engine has to be bolted to
00:33:25
the chassis and wired up
00:33:29
the engine is

in but that's only half the
00:33:34
job they've still got to fit the 599's
00:33:37
transmission system made up of its
00:33:40
gearbox and massive drive shaft already
00:33:43
bolted
00:33:46
together the engine creates the power

horsepower all that power is transferred
00:33:53
by the drive shaft through the gearbox
00:33:57
to the 599's axles and
00:34:01
wheels the drive shaft is one of the
00:34:04
599's only components that's made of
00:34:06

allows a Ferrari to accelerate through
00:34:35
all its gears and be moving at over 120

[Applause]
00:35:05
it's not enough for a sports car to go
00:35:07
fast it has to stay on the
00:35:10
road the suspension system and high
00:35:13
performance Vehicles like the 599 is far
00:35:16
more important than it is in a normal
00:35:21
car the 599 suspension uses
00:35:24
revolutionary shock absorbers developed
00:35:26
in the US
00:35:29
while conventional shock absorbers are
00:35:31
oil

magnets reading and reacting to every
00:35:46
bump in the road far more precisely
00:35:48
instantly than oil filled shock
00:35:54
absorbers installing the shock absorbers
00:35:56
is a critical and painstaking step in
00:35:59
the 599's final
00:36:03
assembly but Ferrari's mechanics Mount
00:36:06
this key component in under an
00:36:11
hour the Marinello Factory has given the
00:36:13
599 speed Beauty and handling for the
00:36:18
street but there's still one challenge
00:36:21
left to meet
00:36:25
luxury that's the job of the Coach Works
00:36:29
where the 599 gets its luxurious leather
00:36:33
