Ferrari & Pagani

[Charith]

I had the chance to visit the Galleria Ferrari and the Pagani factory while in Europe. I was told that only those with the mula to buy a Ferrari or can pull some strings can get a factory tour of Ferrari.

The Zonda factory on the other hand consisted of a reception area, assembly area, an autoclave, and a fabrication room. In the assembly area stood an 80% complete Zonda R (#4) and the shell of what would become the #5 Zonda R. The attention to detail on these cars are amazing, not to mention their own titanium incorporated carbon fibre weave. While I was there four engineers were huddled around the #4 Zonda R and testing it's Xtrac gearbox. That meant one guy hunched over a laptop, another guy playing with the column mounted paddles, and the other two guys manually rotating the rear wheels Amusing to watch such an amazing machine being worked on so casually

Thanks for sharing. Does that mean you're buying a Ferrari?

HAHA! I'll pass... unless it's a challenge car. That'll probably be the only type of Ferrari I'll buy... just for the gold insulation!

Not much to it other than scheduling a tour and showing up. Best 18 euros I've spent.
