The ferrari episode was excellent... I saw that one before Comcast took away all of our channels, put them in a box and caused us to dump their service and watch tv on the internet.

On a previous "Ultimate Factories" show, they had a similar tour of a Camaro factory in Canada. What I took away from watching that show and the Porsche factory show was how similar the 2 factories were. The manufacturing process for building cars on an assembly line is pretty much the same regardless if it is a VW Golf or a Porsche 911.

The Lamborghini Ultimate Factory episode also came to mind ...

It's the design and engineering that count !

Nice! Thanks for posting! Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch them before they get pulled.

Watched an downloaded! Nice episode.

It was good to compare this footage to the version put together by the History Channel when the 993 was in production - things have certainly come a long way!

Great show. The narration was a little repetitive and annoying, but I really enjoyed watchiing the process of building a Porsche. Burned it to DVD for my collection, too.

I was wondering about burning it to DVD also.... I've just gotta figure out how to do it.
