FERRARI WAS FOUNDED
BY ENZO FERRARI,

WHOSE FATHER RAN A SMALL METAL
ENGINEERING COMPANY HERE

ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF MODENA
IN NORTHERN ITALY.

THE COMPANY HAS BUILT
A 21st CENTURY MUSEUM

TO HOUSE THE FAMOUS
BRAND'S HISTORIC VEHICLES.

TRUE TO THE COMPANY'S REPUTATION
FOR HIGH-TECH INNOVATION,

THE NEW BUILDING
FEATURES GEOTHERMAL

AND SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES
TO HELP WITH HEATING AND COOLING

AND SUPPLYING IT WITH HOT WATER.

INSIDE BOTH PARTS
OF THE MUSEUM,

FERRARI HISTORY
IS ON FULL DISPLAY,

EMBODIED BY SOME OF
ITS MOST ICONIC CARS.

THE 750 MONZA DEBUTED IN 1954

AS PART OF FERRARI'S
SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS

TO BUILD A LINE OF
FOUR-CYLINDER RACE CARS.

IN 1967, THE DINO 206 GT

BECAME FERRARI'S FIRST
MID-ENGINE SPORTS CAR.

EVER SINCE 1948,

FERRARI HAS BUILT POWERFUL

AND VERSATILE GRAND TOURERS

ALONGSIDE ITS
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORTS CARS.

THE CALIFORNIA T
IS THE LATEST EXPRESSION

OF THE CAR MAKER'S
GT TRADITION.

FERRARI INTRODUCED
THEIR FIRST ALL-ALUMINUM CAR

IN 1999 WITH THE 360 MODENA.

STARTING WITH
THE 612 SCAGLIETTI IN 2004,

THE ENTIRE FERRARI RANGE
IS NOW ALL-ALUMINUM,

ASIDE FROM THE CARBON FIBER
LA FERRARI HYPERCAR.

THE SPACE FRAMES ARE BUILT
FROM A COMBINATION OF EXTRUSIONS

AND CASTINGS

AND ARE JOINED WITH A RANGE
OF ADVANCED TECHNIQUES,

INCLUDING METAL INERT GAS,
OR MIG, WELDING,

COLD METAL TRANSFER WELDING,
STRUCTURAL BONDING,

AND RIVETING.

THE EXTRUSIONS ARE MADE
FROM FIVE DIFFERENT

SIX SERIES ALLOYS

WHILE THREE ALLOYS
GO INTO CASTINGS.

ROBOTIC ARMS CARRY OUT
THE AUTOMATED,

SELF-PIERCING RIVET PHASE,

JOINING AS MANY AS THREE LAYERS
OF ALUMINUM AT ONCE

AND USING SEVEN
DIFFERENT RIVET TYPES

ACCORDING TO
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.

THE SPACE FRAME
AND BODY SHELL COMPONENTS

BEING RIVETED TOGETHER

HAVE BEEN CREATED THROUGH
A VARIETY OF TECHNOLOGIES,

INCLUDING HEAT FORMING,

VACUUM DIE-CASTING,
AND SUPERPLASTIC FORMING.

AS THE BODY IN WHITE ADVANCES
ALONG THE ASSEMBLY LINE,

TWO ROBOTS EQUIPPED
WITH PERCEPTRON LASER SYSTEMS

THOROUGHLY MEASURE IT,

CHECKING 301 DIFFERENT POINTS

TO ENSURE THAT ALL ELEMENTS
OF THE BUILD ARE CORRECTLY

AND ACCURATELY POSITIONED.

FERRARI ENGINEERS THE BODY
IN WHITE OF THE CALIFORNIA T

FOR MAXIMAL TORSIONAL
STIFFNESS AND MINIMUM WEIGHT.

TWO TYPES OF ALUMINUM
ALLOY ARE USED

FOR THE EXTERNAL BODY PANELS

AND THE FINAL CHASSIS TAKES
AROUND 33 HOURS TO MANUFACTURE,

WITH OVER 60 METERS OF WELDING.

AT A STATION EQUIPPED
WITH SPECIALIZED LIGHTING,

AN INSPECTOR WIPES
THE BODY SURFACE

WITH A DAMP CLOTH TO REVEAL
EVEN THE SMALLEST SCRATCHES.

HE CIRCLES ANY DEFECTS
AS HE MAKES HIS WAY

AROUND THE BODY IN WHITE,

CONDUCTING A THOROUGH
QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTION

OF THE SURFACE.

ALUMINUM IS A RELATIVELY
SOFT METAL,

WHICH MAKES IT EASY
FOR A TECHNICIAN TO BUFF OUT

ANY SURFACE SCRATCHES
OR OTHER DEFECTS.

THE BODY IN WHITE
IS NOW COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED

AND READY TO BE TRANSPORTED

TO FERRARI'S FAMED
MARANELLO FACILITY

JUST OUTSIDE MODENA,
WHERE IT WILL UNDERGO

AN ADVANCED PAINTING PROCESS.

AT THE MARANELLO FACTORY,

THE CALIFORNIA T BODY IN WHITE

UNDERGOES A MULTISTAGE
FINISHING PROCESS,

DURING WHICH IT WILL BE WASHED,
DEGREASED, TREATED, AND PAINTED.

WHILE THESE STEPS ARE TYPICAL
OF AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTION,

THE MARANELLO FACILITY
HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH

TO THE PRETREATMENT

AND CATAPHORESIS PHASES
KNOWN AS ROAD DIP.

MOUNTED ON
A SPECIALIZED FIXTURE,

THE BODY SHELLS DIP
INTO HUGE VATS

AND ROTATE 360 DEGREES

TO ENSURE THE LIQUID REACHES
EVEN THE TINIEST CREVICES.

CATAPHORESIS IS ALSO KNOWN
AS CATHODIC ELECTRODEPOSITION.

IT'S AN AUTOMATED
METHOD OF COATING

THROUGH COMPLETE IMMERSION.

THE LIQUID IS A CHARGED
ELECTRIC FIELD,

WHILE THE BODY SHELL
HAS THE OPPOSITE CHARGE.

THE TWO CHARGES
ATTRACT EACH OTHER,

MEANING THE COATING ADHERES

TO EVERY PART OF
THE BODY'S SURFACE.

THE PROTECTIVE PROCESS
IS COMPLETED WITH A SEALING

AND UNDERBODY TREATMENT.

ONCE THESE COATINGS
HAVE FULLY CURED,

THE CAR MOVES THROUGH
A SET OF ENORMOUS ROLLERS

LINED WITH OSTRICH FEATHERS,

WHICH HAVE A NATURAL OIL
THAT ATTRACTS DUST.

IT'S VITAL THAT
THE BODY SHELL SURFACE

BE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE

BEFORE CONTINUING
THROUGH THE PAINT SHOP.

IN THIS DUST-FREE BOOTH,
SPECIALIZED,

PREPROGRAMMED ROBOTIC ARMS
EQUIPPED WITH SPRAY NOZZLES

APPLY THE WATER-BASED
COLOR COAT.

ONCE THIS LAYER
HAS PROPERLY CURED,

ROBOTS WILL COVER THE BODY
WITH A TRANSPARENT COATING

TO HELP PROTECT
THE BASE COLOR COAT.

TRAINED TECHNICIANS
METICULOUSLY INSPECT THE SURFACE

OF EVERY SINGLE BODY
SHELL FOR FLAWS.

WITH THE PAINT JOB FINISHED,

THE DESIGN OF THE BODY SHELL
COMES INTO SHARPER FOCUS.

THE FRONT OF THE CAR,
FOR INSTANCE,

IS INSPIRED BY
THE FAMED PONTOON FENDERS

OF THE 250 TESTA ROSSA,

ONE OF FERRARI'S
MOST SUCCESSFUL RACE CARS.

A SECOND TECHNICIAN USES
A SPECIALIZED DEVICE

TO MEASURE THE DEPTH
OF THE PAINT,

WHICH MUST HAVE A MINIMUM
THICKNESS OF 200 MICRONS.

THE FULLY ASSEMBLED
AND PAINTED BODY SHELL

IS NOW READY TO MEET
ITS POWERTRAIN,

AND POWERTRAINS ARE
WHAT FERRARI DOES BEST.

Narrator: IT WAS THROUGH
THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAR MAKER'S

FAMED MARANELLO FACTORY

THAT THE FIRST FERRARI
ROLLED OUT IN 1947.

SINCE THEN, FERRARI HAS BEEN
THE ONLY SPORTS CAR MANUFACTURER

IN THE WORLD TO DESIGN,

ENGINEER, AND PRODUCE ALL OF
ITS OWN ENGINES IN-HOUSE.

MARANELLO IS THE ONLY
FACILITY IN THE WORLD

THAT CONTROLS
THE ENTIRE ENGINEERING

AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

THIS ENGINE BLOCK,
FOR INSTANCE,

WAS CAST IN THE MARANELLO
ALUMINUM FOUNDRY AND MACHINED

IN ITS MECHANICAL
MACHINING DEPARTMENT.

THE PLANT HAS TWO ENGINE
ASSEMBLY LINES --

ONE FOR V8s
AND ONE FOR V12s.

HERE ON THE V8 LINE,
A TECHNICIAN OILS THE BORES

BEFORE LOADING THE PISTONS.

AN AUTOMATED QUALITY CONTROL
SYSTEM PHOTOGRAPHS

EACH PISTON TO ENSURE
IT'S BEEN PROPERLY INSERTED

INTO THE CORRECT
CYLINDER BANK.

A TECHNICIAN FLIPS
THE ENGINE BLOCK 180 DEGREES

BEFORE CAREFULLY POSITIONING
A REGISTER TEMPLATE.

THIS WILL HOLD THE ENDS
OF THE CONRODS APART

AS HE SPRAYS OIL
ON THE BEARINGS.

ONCE HE'S FINISHED
THE OILING PROCEDURE,

HE CAN THEN INSTALL
THE CRANKSHAFT.

THE STEEL CRANKSHAFT IS ONE OF
THE FEW ENGINE COMPONENTS

THAT ISN'T FORGED
IN THE MARANELLO FOUNDRY.

BUT FERRARI DOES SPEND
35 DAYS MACHINING,

HEAT TREATING,
AND FINISHING THE COMPONENT.

THE TECHNICIAN POSITIONS
A TEMPLATE

THAT HOLDS
THE CRANKSHAFT IN PLACE

WHILE HE ADDS THE CONROD CAPS.

THESE HE POSITIONS ONE BY ONE

BEFORE TORQUING THEM SECURELY
IN PLACE AROUND THE CRANK.

A TEAM MEMBER ATTACHES
A SPECIALIZED DEVICE

AND USES IT TO ROTATE
THE CRANKSHAFT,

MOVING THE PISTONS
THROUGH THEIR BORES

AND ENSURING THE INSTALLATION
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

WITH THE GASKET IN POSITION,

A TECHNICIAN NOW
INSTALLS THE CYLINDER HEAD.

AS WITH THE REST OF THE ENGINE,

THIS ALUMINUM COMPONENT WAS CAST

AND MACHINED BY
FERRARI IN-HOUSE.

THE ALUMINUM CAM COVER WITH
CAM SHAFTS ALREADY IN PLACE

IS READY FOR INSTALLATION.

FERRARI USES BETWEEN
5 AND 7 TONS OF ALUMINUM ALLOY

PER DAY IN THEIR FOUNDRY.

EACH CASTING REQUIRES
8 TO 12 DIFFERENT

SAND CORES TO PRODUCE.

A TECHNICIAN BRINGS THE ALUMINUM
TIMING CHAIN COVER

TO THE ENGINE, WHERE HE ALIGNS
AND INSTALLS IT.

HE APPLIES A SPECIALIZED GREASE

TO BOLT STUDS TO ENSURE
THE CORRECT TORQUE IS APPLIED

WHEN SUBSEQUENTLY TIGHTENING
THE RETAINING NUTS.

HE POSITIONS A GUIDE
OVER THE COVER.

THIS SHOWS THE CORRECT ORDER
IN WHICH INSERTION

AND TORQUING SHOULD OCCUR.

THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE

THAT THE GASKETS
ARE UNIFORMLY SEALED

AND TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF OVERTIGHTENING

ANY SINGLE BOLT.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS
THE INJECTOR RAIL

FOR THE DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM.

THE RAIL INJECTS HIGHLY
PRESSURIZED GASOLINE

INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
OF EACH CYLINDER.

THIS LEADS TO INCREASED
FUEL EFFICIENCY

AND POWER OUTPUT.

AFTER MANUALLY SNUGGING
THE ATTACHMENT BOLTS,

HE USES A DEVICE TO TIGHTEN THEM
TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE.

THE PIPE HE ATTACHES
TO THE FUEL RAIL

IS CAPABLE OF HANDLING
HIGHLY PRESSURIZED MATERIAL.

THE OTHER END CONNECTS
TO THE FUEL PUMP

THAT PRESSURIZES THE GASOLINE.

NEXT, HE BRINGS
THE WIRING HARNESS

FOR THE EIGHT IGNITION COILS
TO THE ENGINE

AND BEGINS PLUGGING IT IN.

HE CLAMPS IT AT
KEY ATTACHMENT POINTS

TO ENSURE THE WIRING
DOESN'T SHIFT OUT OF POSITION.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS
ONE OF THE ENGINE'S

TWO TWIN-SCROLL TURBOCHARGERS.

FERRARI ADDED TURBOS
TO THE CALIFORNIA T

IN 2014 TO BOOST
THE CAR'S EFFICIENCY AND POWER.

TURBOCHARGERS USE
THE EXHAUST GAS

FROM THE ENGINE
TO SPIN A TURBINE,

WHICH TURNS A COMPRESSOR,

DRIVING EXTRA AIR
INTO THE CYLINDERS.

THE CAR MAKER SOURCES
THESE COMPONENTS

FROM THE JAPANESE
MANUFACTURER I.H.I.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER,

EXHAUST, AND INTERCOOLER
AIR INTAKE ARE ALL IN PLACE.

THE INNOVATIVE EXHAUST HEADER

AND OTHER HIGH-TECH ADVANCES
HELP OVERCOME THE TURBO LAG

AND SLOW THROTTLE RESPONSE

THAT USUALLY ACCOMPANY THESE
AMAZING TURBOCHARGED ENGINES.

Narrator:
THE CALIFORNIA T DRIVETRAIN

IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART
POWERHOUSE,

WHICH INCLUDES
AN F1 DUAL-CLUTCH,

SEVEN-SPEED GEARBOX
AND MULTILINK REAR SUSPENSION.

POWERTRAIN ASSEMBLY,
WHICH TAKES 2 1/2 HOURS,

IS DONE ON A SUBASSEMBLY LINE,

PARALLEL TO THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY LINES.

HERE, TECHNICIANS USE
A HYDRAULIC LIFT

TO HELP THEM MOUNT THE GEARBOX

IN A REAR TRANSAXLE LAYOUT,

A POSITION WHICH OPTIMIZES
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

THROUGHOUT THE CAR.

TOQUE CONTROL DRIVERS
ENSURE FASTENERS ARE TIGHTENED

TO THE CORRECT PARAMETERS.

THE F1-TYPE GEARBOX
HAS BEEN MODIFIED

FOR PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY.

SO WHILE THE 2016 CALIFORNIA T

CAN ACCELERATE TO 60 MILES
PER HOUR IN UNDER 3.6 SECONDS,

FUEL CONSUMPTION IS DOWN
15 PERCENT FROM PREVIOUS MODELS.

A TECHNICIAN NOW
INSTALLS THE REAR HUBS

WITH AXLES AND MULTILINK
SUSPENSION SYSTEMS.

UNLIKE OLDER, HEAVIER FORMS
OF INDEPENDENT

REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEMS
LIKE SWING AXLE,

TRAILING ARM,
OR MACPHERSON STRUT,

A MULTILINK SYSTEM USES
SEVERAL SHORT LINKS

TO ATTACH THE HUB
TO THE SUBFRAME.

THE LINKS ARE DESIGNED
TO ALLOW THE WHEEL

TO TRAVEL UP AND DOWN OVER BUMPS

WITHOUT ALTERING ITS TILT
OR CAMBER ANGLE.

THIS IN TURN LEADS TO
BETTER TRACTION AND HANDLING.

WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION
IN PLACE,

THE POWERTRAIN
SUB-ASSEMBLY ADVANCES

TO THE NEXT STATION WHERE
IT WILL MEET ITS CENTERPIECE.

TECHNICIANS USE A HOIST TO BRING
THE ENGINE TO THE SUB-ASSEMBLY.

WITH THE HELP OF THE HOIST,

THEY INSERT THE V8
INTO THE SUBFRAME,

ENSURING IT ALIGNS CORRECTLY
WITH THE OPENINGS

FOR THE FIXING BOLTS.

FOR 80 PERCENT OF THE BOLTS
IN THE CALIFORNIA T,

MEMBERS OF THE FERRARI
ASSEMBLY TEAM

USE ELECTRONIC DRIVERS,

WHICH AUTOMATICALLY CONTROL
THE TORQUE AND ANGLE,

AS THEY TIGHTEN
FASTENERS IN PLACE.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS A HOSE
WHICH WILL MOVE COOLANT

TO AND FROM THE GEARBOX'S
OIL RADIATOR.

AS ASSEMBLIES MOVE
DOWN THE LINE,

TEAM MEMBERS SWITCH SEAMLESSLY
FROM ONE MODEL TO THE OTHER.

THE V8 LINE ALONE
HAS PRODUCED AS MANY

AS SIX DIFFERENT FERRARI
MODELS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

LONGER HOSES WILL ALLOW
COOLANT TO TRAVEL BACK

AND FORTH FROM THE ENGINE
TO THE RADIATOR.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS AND CLAMPS
THEM SECURELY IN POSITION.

THE ASSEMBLY MOVES FORWARD
ON THE AUTOMATED TRACK

EVERY 19 MINUTES,
ALLOWING AMPLE TIME

FOR WORKERS AT EACH STATION
TO COMPLETE THEIR TASKS.

THIS FEATURE IS MEANT
TO ENSURE OPTIMAL QUALITY.

BEFORE INSTALLING
THE TORQUE TRANSFER,

A HEAT SHIELD GOES IN
TO PROTECT IT

FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES.

MADE OF STEEL, THE TORQUE TUBE
IS HOLLOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT.

IT TRANSFERS TORQUE FROM
THE ENGINE TO THE TRANSAXLE.

THIS CONFIGURATION
ALLOWS THE ENGINE

TO MAINTAIN ITS POSITION
IN THE MID-FRONT OF THE CAR

FOR GOOD WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

WHILE SENDING TORQUE TO THE REAR
WHEELS FOR OPTIMAL POWER.

A SPECIALIZED CLAMPING SYSTEM
HOLDS THE TUBE IN PLACE

AS AN AUTOMATED WRENCH
TIGHTENS THE FASTENER.

THE FERRARI'S EXHAUST SYSTEM
HAS TWO FINAL SILENCERS,

ONE FOR EACH OF
THE ENGINE'S CYLINDER BANKS.

THESE SILENCERS ENSURE
A QUIET RIDE AROUND TOWN

AND AT CRUISING SPEEDS.

BUT WHILE THIS POWERTRAIN
IS DESIGNED FOR QUIET LUXURY,

IT'S ALSO BUILT FOR SPEED.

GUN THE ENGINE AND BYPASS VALVES
OPEN IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

THIS BOOSTS PERFORMANCE
BY REDUCING BACKPRESSURE

AND LETS THE CALIFORNIA T

SOUND LIKE
AN OLD-SCHOOL FERRARI.

Narrator:
FERRARI INAUGURATED ITS
VEHICLE ASSEMBLY AREA IN 2008.

DESIGNED BY ARCHITECT
JEAN NOUVEL,

THE 226,000-SQUARE-FOOT
FACILITY

HOUSES THE V8 ASSEMBLY LINES
ON THE GROUND FLOOR

AND THE V12s ABOVE.

ONCE THE SOUND AND HEAT
INSULATION HAS BEEN APPLIED,

TECHNICIANS INSTALL THE HARNESS,

WHICH IS MADE UP
OF 1,640 YARDS

OF WIRING AND INCLUDES
300 CONNECTORS.

FERRARI BUILDS
THE CALIFORNIA T'S DASHBOARD

ON A PARALLEL
SUBASSEMBLY LINE.

UPSTAIRS, THE IN-HOUSE
UPHOLSTERY DEPARTMENT

TRIMS THE ENTIRE COCKPIT.

THE UPHOLSTERY TEAM INCLUDES 40
HIGHLY SPECIALIZED CRAFTSPEOPLE.

15 STANDARD LEATHER COLORS
ARE AVAILABLE

TOGETHER WITH A RANGE OF
ALCANTARA AND OTHER MATERIALS.

A TECHNICIAN INSTALLS
THE STEERING WHEEL

USING A SPECIALIZED TOOL
TO CENTER IT.

THE PADDLE SHIFTERS,
NOW A STANDARD FEATURE

ON MANY HIGH-END CARS,

WERE INVENTED BY FERRARI
FOR ITS 1989 F1 CAR.

A TEAM MEMBER USES A WHEELED
HOIST SYSTEM TO MOUNT

ONE OF THE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLIES,

WHICH INCLUDES THE DOUBLE
WISHBONE SUSPENSION

AND THE BREMBO
CARBON-CERAMIC BRAKES.

A HANDHELD AUTOMATED
WRENCH ALLOWS HIM

TO FASTEN BOLTS
IN TIGHT PLACES.

THE COMPLETED POWERTRAIN
TRAVELS ON AN AUTOMATIC

GUIDED VEHICLE THAT FOLLOWS

AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD
EMBEDDED IN THE FLOOR.

REACHING
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY LINE,

THE GUIDANCE SYSTEM POSITIONS
THE POWERTRAIN PRECISELY

UNDER THE WAITING
CALIFORNIA T BODY.

THE POWERTRAIN RISES
TO MEET THE DESCENDING BODY

AND TEAM MEMBERS ATTACH
THE SUBFRAMES

TO THE CHASSIS
WITH A TOTAL OF 38 BOLTS.

A TECHNICIAN USES
A SPECIALIZED HYDRAULIC ARM

TO PICK UP A WHEEL
AND BRING IT TO A FRONT HUB,

WHERE HE MOUNTS IT,
INSTALLS THE LUG NUTS,

AND TIGHTENS THEM
ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH

A TORQUE-CONTROLLED DEVICE.

CUSTOMERS CAN OPT
FOR PARTLY ELECTRIC

OR FULLY ELECTRIC SEATS,

WITH MULTIMEMORY SETTINGS

AND HEATING
AND COOLING FUNCTIONS.

THE SEAT'S UPHOLSTERY CAN BE
FULLY PERSONALIZED.

FERRARI CREATED
THE FIRST RETRACTABLE

HARDTOP ROOF OF ITS KIND
FOR THE 2008 CALIFORNIA T.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM FOLDING
MECHANISM OCCUPIES LITTLE SPACE

WHEN STORED IN THE REAR.

THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
CAN RETRACT

AND STORE THE ROOF
IN JUST 14 SECONDS.

A SPECIALIZED ROBOT ARM READS
THE POSITION OF THE WINDSHIELD

AND PICKS IT UP.

THE MECHANISM THEN CLEANS
THE PERIMETER OF THE GLASS

AND SPRAYS THAT AREA WITH
A PRIMER WHICH QUICKLY DRIES.

THE ROBOT THEN APPLIES
A THICK BEAD OF HIGH-TECH,

HIGH-VISCOSITY POLYURETHANE GLUE

BEFORE ALIGNING THE GLASS

WITH ITS FRAME
AND INSTALLING IT,

HOLDING IT IN PLACE
UNTIL THE GLUE IS STABLE.

ON A PARALLEL SUBASSEMBLY LINE,

TECHNICIANS MOUNT THE WINDOW,
RUNNERS, AND ELECTRONICS

ON THE ALL-ALUMINUM DOORS

BEFORE THEY GO
TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

HERE, A TEAM MEMBER INSTALLS
THE LEFT-FRONT DOOR.

THE LEATHER TRIM PANELS
ARE LEFT OFF

TO PREVENT DAMAGE.

THE PRANCING HORSE DERIVES
FROM A SIMILAR IMAGE

ON THE FUSELAGE
OF THE PLANE PILOTED

BY HEROIC WORLD WAR I PILOT
FRANCESCO BARACCA.

BARACCA'S PARENTS SUGGESTED

FERRARI PUT THE PRANCING HORSE
ON HIS CARS FOR GOOD LUCK.

THE CLEAR DIVISION
BETWEEN DASH AND TUNNEL

AND THE ROUND AIR VENTS

ARE DISTINCTIVE
FERRARI FEATURES.

IT CAN TAKE FIVE DAYS
TO UPHOLSTER THIS INTERIOR.

IN POSITION,
THE HARDTOP REDUCES WIND NOISE

AND DRAG BETTER
THAN A SOFT TOP.

BUT ON A WARM, SUNNY DAY,

IT'S HARD TO RESIST
THE URGE TO STOW IT AWAY.

INSIDE, THE CALIFORNIA T
MAY LOOK LIKE

A LEATHER-TRIMMED
LUXURY PALACE,

BUT OUTSIDE, ITS SLEEK LINES
INDICATE ITS RACING HERITAGE.

THOSE PONTOON-STYLE FENDERS

DON'T JUST RECALL THE FAMOUSLY
FAST TESTA ROSSA

FOR AESTHETIC REASONS.

THE CALIFORNIA T
IS A GRAND TOURER

THAT CAN SPRINT
LIKE A SPORTS CAR.

ITS TURBOCHARGED V8 DEVELOPS
553 HORSEPOWER AT 7,500 RPMs

AND SPURS THE PRANCING HORSE

FROM 0 TO 60 IN
JUST UNDER 3.6 SECONDS.

OF COURSE,
FERRARIS ARE LEGENDARY

FOR THEIR SPEED AND POWER,

BUT THE CALIFORNIA T
ISN'T JUST DESIGNED

TO BURN UP THE HIGHWAY.

IT ALSO EXCELS
AT SEDATE MOTORING.
