The National Geographic Channel has a brand new show that looks in to the making of some of the coolest cars in the world. The show starts this week with the Lamborghini Murcielago and is followed with the Rolls Royce Phantom and the Chevy Camaro.
Take a look at the synopsis and videos from the first episode.
Lamborghinis factory in SantAgata Bolognese, Italy is building its fastest car ever the Murcielago SV, of which just 350 will be made. The $450,000 Murcielago SV launches from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 212 miles per hour. The factory builds the car almost entirely by hand including its engine and body. The car is also painted and assembled by hand, including installation of the famous Lamborghini scissor doors. Every car is custom-built to order, and only 2.7 cars are completed per day.
“The Scissor Doors” – The Lamborghini's signature scissor doors aren't just for looks!
“Lamborghini’s Master Painters Powering the Murciélago” – Painting the Murciélago's carbon fiber body takes hundreds of hours and a lot of skill.
“Powering the Murciélago” – Technicians install the most critical part of the Murciélago -- the 670 horsepower engine.
ULTIMATE FACTORIES: LAMBORGHINI will air on Thursday, October 1 at 8PM ET/PT
