Surprised (or perhaps not) that nobody commented that these engines ARE NOT "broken in" prior to delivery. The last station runs the car to a maximum of 75 mph. This is hardly a "break in."

Excellent presentation.
I didn't realize how much time was spent on the interior leatherwork.
In a recent thread, some were knocking the quality of the interior--
I find it to be quite high end and functional. Very similar to Ferrari--
form and function are foremost.

i think its funny how some people baby their car at delivery, did you guys see the guy flooring it up to 75mph on the test after build?
also, i find it amazing how each car gets made to order exactly correct in spite of >100 cars being made daily.

Thanks for the heads-up, John. I really enjoyed the virtual factory tour.
I think you see more in this documentary than what you'd see in any factory tour you pay big bucks to see in person. Save your money and get a copy of this instead, if you're thinking of doing a factory tour someday. You can pay big bucks to attend the Super Bowl but you won't get a better view than the close up shots you see on your big screen at home.
It was interesting to see the engine generously revved past the supposed 4k limit for break-in (PCNA customers only, ROW have at it). I bet it pisses off those who have babied their cars by keeping the rpms below 4k for 2k. I certainly never followed that prescribed regimen.
