Ultimate Factories Collection
Go behind the scenes as National Geographic explores manufacturing goliaths and brings to life some
of the greatest one-of-a-kind factories in the world. From an inside look at the making of BMWs
newest sports car and Corvettes latest high performance, aerodynamically-efficient street machine,
to a tour of Caterpillars six mega-plants and Budweisers state-of-the-art brewing factory, this
collection of 11 popular episodes offers exclusive access into the world s Ultimate Factories.
Part 1: BMW
BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works. So you’d expect the Bavarian town of Landshut, Germany to be
the place where BMW transforms liquid metal into lightweight engine crankcases. You’d also expect
BMW to precision assemble its high-performance 3.0 liter six-cylinder engines in the Bavarian city
of Munich. But most people don’t expect BMW to ship some engines across the Atlantic Ocean to BMW’s
first full manufacturing plant outside of Germany—in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

Part 1: Audi
The Audi R8 is a masterpiece; a supreme feat of design engineering and automotive genius. Audi has
combined all of its engineering innovations over the last few decades into this one sports car all
wheel drive, an ultralight aluminum space frame and high-tech fuel injection. It is the embodiment
of Vorsprung durch Technik. Audi design engineers took more than inspiration from their multiple Le
Mans winning cars. Compare the R8 with its race-winning parents the most successful ever and you'll
notice some distinct similarities. It's not just the R8's stunning looks that make it such a
desirable vehicle. Its mighty V8 engine propels you from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds and on to a top
speed of 187mph. Go inside the special area of the Audi factory in Neckarsulm, Germany and follow in
detail, the crafting of this extraordinary sports car.

Part 2: Ferrari
Watch the creation of one of the world's most famous sports cars, the Fiorano 599 the fastest, most
powerful production car Ferrari has ever built. It was designed with several specific objectives in
mind: to increase driving pleasure, to guarantee performance (courtesy of technology transfers from
the F1 single-seaters) and to ensure comfort, ergonomics and safety. The new Ferrari 599 GTB sprints
from 0 to 62mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed in excess of 205 mph. The car takes its name from
the Fiorano circuit Ferrari uses to hone the performance of its track and road cars. From start to
finish, fabrication will take about two weeks. Watch the spectacular processes brought to life by
unique close-up lenses and threedimensional computer graphics as Ferrari engineer and assemble the
ultimate sports car. Ferrari pumps out only 17 cars a day, making a long waiting list for these
elite cars.

Part 3: Lamborghini
The Murci?lago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is a proper send off for the flagship model in the car maker's
already awesome line up. Typical of Lamborghini special editions, the only thing it lacks is
restraint. The ?300,000 SV's V12 engine launches it from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and can
achieve a top speed of 212 miles per hour. Just 350 will be made of this lighter and more powerful
version. The factory builds the car almost entirely by hand including its engine and the
installation of the famous Lamborghini scissor doors. Every car is custombuilt to order and less
than 3 cars are completed per day. Journey inside Lamborghini's factory in Santa'Agata Bolognese,
Italy and witness the building of their fastest car ever the Murci?lago SV.

Part 4: Porsche
Rolling of the assembly line and taking the world by storm in 1964, the Porsche 911 is now one of
the world's iconic sports cars. Since its introduction it has undergone continuous development,
though the basic concept has remained little changed throughout its evolution. Still produced on the
same grounds that gave birth to the first 911, this car has grown to 17 variations, from the modest
911 Carerra with a top track speed of 180 mph to the 911 GT2 RS, a street legal racecar that tops
out at 205 mph. Journey inside the Porsche factory in Stuttgart and witness these iconic cars being
built to unique specifications.

Part 5: Rolls Royce
Phantom is the first Rolls-Royce motorcar to be introduced since the company was acquired by BMW in
1998. It is a Rolls-Royce for the 21st Century. Each Phantom is a unique combination of
state-of-the-art technology and Old-World craftsmanship constructed with meticulous attention to
detail. Designed without compromise, Phantom is the result of complete creative and engineering
freedom. Created with the desire to build the best car in the world, it takes an average of 450
hours and the skills of hundreds of dedicated craftspeople, artisans, designers, engineers,
mechanics, painters, sewing machinists and others to hand-build each car. Phantom's unique, advanced
aluminium space-frame is hand-welded from over 500 separate parts, with over 100 metres of weld.
Incredibly light but strong, it is both stiff and dynamic. When combined with the state-of-the art
suspension technologies, it creates the air-cushioned 'magic carpet ride' that is unique to
Rolls-Royce. Look inside the spiritual home of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, at the assembly plant at
Goodwood and see the best car in the world being built.
