I found these pics on another site. I’d usually just post the link but the site isn’t what you’d call family friendly, so I just put the pics up.
Thanks to the site who originally posted them, you know who you are.   These pics are a great insight to what’s behind the one of the most famous names in the business. Enjoy…

I watched a show on Discovery about the Ferrari factory. It was purposely built in a city design and sits on nearly 60 acres of land.

It makes the ferrari factory look antiquated. They still paint the cars by hand as well. |

Ferrari is considered one of the most prestige places to work in Italy.
There is about a two year wait for employment and thats only if you "make the grade". Don't you just love the little covers they use to protect the finish while they assemble the rest of the car..... No wonder these things are worth as much as they are....

That truely is awesome.
I once watch a show about the great jobs in the world (or whatever it was about). There is one guy at Ferrari who has the job of taking 1 brand new Ferrari, thrashing the hell out of it making the engine blow. It is then his job to pull the engine apart and find out what went wrong and why. Couldnt ask for a much better job than that!! |

great find Full Noise, it is like a small city, i bet they don`t have the classic friday built cars thats is most common in cheaper marques, even the lunch room looks like an operating room..........pic no 8. those nice alloy lower wishbones look like they could be coaxed onto the au irs
