Dentro FERRARI 🏎️ Tour completo

I was the first YouTuber in the world to be able to film inside the Ferrari factory I have been able to discover how all the Ferraris in the world are conceived designed produced and tested Keep in mind that usually it takes me about half a day to record these videos but this time in Maranello I spent three full days The first two in normal workdays and the third day in the middle of Family Day A special day when the company opens its doors to the relatives of its employees Anyway I don't need to explain what Ferrari is In fact it practically wins the award as the strongest brand in the world every year or rather the brand with the highest value overall In addition it is not only an undisputed luxury brand but also the most successful team in the history of Formula 1 Clearly this is not a paid collaboration but I would say it's already a lot that they have opened the doors of their company to me They showed me the entire production process of the Ferraris They also made me speak for more than an hour with their CEO Benedetto Vigna So before starting the tour I'll give you a bit of history The Ferrari was born thanks to Enzo Ferrari born in 1898 in Modena He grew up practically in his father's mechanic shop With the dream of becoming a pilot around the age of 20 he manages to find work in a racing team as a test driver In a short time he is finally promoted to pilot and as a pilot he achieves increasing success Between them it is there that he meets Countess Paolina De Biancoli mother of the famous aviator Francesco Baracca which proposes to Enzo to use the famous horse the family's crest as a logo to apply on the car After that Enzo transitions from being a driver to becoming increasingly interested in cars Until he stops being a driver and in 1929 opens his own team It was in 1947 that Ferrari finally launched It then began producing racing cars and luxury cars becoming an increasingly sought-after brand In the early 1960s Fiat acquired a 50% stake in the company And when Enzo died at 90 the company would be 90% of Fiat and the 10% of Piero Ferrari son of Enzo who currently holds the position of vice president of the company Tuttora with still 10% of the shares To date Ferrari is listed on the stock exchange With a market capitalization of 70 billion produce only a few thousand vehicles each year which however along with its other business lines guarantees a revenue of almost 6 billion euros Well there would be a thousand other things to say But with these few pieces of information we can start the tour of the famous Maranello factory A tour guide is Stefany whom we will introduce shortly We start with the historic entrance on Via Betone It is precisely the iconic entrance through which all the brand's vehicles have passed Starting from the 125S as early as 47 The company wanted to preserve the historic facade To preserve the history and architectural style of the era Here on the left instead where there are these windows There were the historic offices of Enzo Ferrari which now house the offices of his son and vice president Piero Ferrari These buildings are also part of the company's historic facilities The first stop of the day is the Ferrari Classic Workshop This is one of the most exclusive locations in the company which offers an elite service to Ferrari customers They can all access vehicles that are at least 20 years old so street cars as well as Formula 1 E Ferrari Classiche offers a wide range of services to its customers including authenticity certificates maintenance and restoration So it's really a lot of exclusive services and it has been open since 2006 So if I'm a customer and I've bought one of these classic cars can I bring it here to get it fixed for example Also exactly A customer can bring the car here and check that everything is up to standard Let's say about how the car was built back then If there are things to replace he can do it I would like to show you a true gem of our history the 250 GTO Thirty-three units were made in 1962 and another three in 1964 with a slightly different body This is perhaps one of the cars with the highest market value because it is estimated that they are now worth around 70 million euros As I told you before here instead we have 1950s little boats These were used for epic races on open roads Come the Targa Florio Mille Miglia So these are really pieces of history In the Ferrari Classiche Workshop you will also find the archive with the original folders Containing all the information on all the historical Ferrari models All that is official about the car is stored in this room Welcome to the Ferrari Classiche archive the technical-commercial archive We have all the historical documentation starting from 1947 This is particularly the first design of the 125S engine created in 1946 In reference we can find the first engine test number 1 then the first engine tested for almost a year These are the folders these are the chassis numbers Starting from the chassis number You perfectly know which parts are needed to make the original machine just as it was conceived back then And you told me the odd numbers are the Gran Turismo and the even numbers are the Sport Prototypes This is the frame slot ranging from 5301 to 5399 We find described the main components of each individual car And this is the assembly sheet for the GTO we just saw at is worth 70 million euros Here we also have the commercial scale where even the name of the first customer is found Ronald John Hare was the first buyer of that Ferrari And the configuration chosen by the customer in the period Dark down inner dark red fabric What do we have here In this area instead we have the real supercars Then we have the F40 the F50 and the GTO And we also have these super iconic Ferrari models This Ferrari is the only Ferrari ever made with a luggage rack Custom-made for Rossellini who specifically asked for the luggage racks Finished with the classic Ferraris went out Leading them to Stefani's offices passing through the production areas which I would have visited better the next day We are located on Via Lenzo Ferrari which is indeed the main road of the company named after our founder To the right we have the assembly line To the left we have the test line also called the revision And here we lose the finish Where are all the cars tested They are checked before being shipped to me Look how beautiful this thoroughbred is matte silver Stefani works at Centrostile which is where the car's design is born Indeed it is where the aesthetics of future models are conceived and it is also where customers can come to configure the car's customizations Ferrari does not have stock cars When you buy a car that's when it starts being produced Therefore the customization part happens when the car does not yet exist Therefore it is the very first step that is taken not the last What do you do I work in the design team specifically in color and trim So I am responsible for defining colors materials and finishes for customized vehicles And especially I follow the configurations together with the customers who want to customize the cars In the most crazy ways possible What do you study to do this job Well I actually took a pretty unique path Usually I studied design I did business studies because I was already born less into a family of designers And then I wanted to explore that part further And then you're a bit commercial a bit designer which is perfect for this role Exactly because we communicate a lot with customers anyway so it's also necessary to have a more commercial appearance Exactly the style part is precisely to follow the customers at the time of configuration Obviously we always have a few cars on display Between the other ones they often change because two weeks ago I was doing an inspection and there was a green 12-cylinder one So now there's a Daytona In fact we often change this car depending on the cars that the customers configure Those who have the base car so we often come back here to the third floor to see the car together Let's go back to Natalie and Taylor to set up the car In the center style I saw a really unique area at is the modeling department the place where Ferrari models are indeed created in clay and resin To officially define how the final model should look A kind of prototype of the Ferraris This is the surprise Our good Claudio has the keys to the secret room It would be forbidden to take photos and videos but I can This is the most exclusive area of the style center We are indeed in the model shop Where the scale models of all Ferrari cars are made In this case we have placed a Roma Coupé To show you an example of what happens in this room Let's see the car half in clay and half painted To show you the process of creating scale models Once the car's mathematics are defined a clay model is made Then a part of the model is painted it is compared with the clay part the modifications are made with this mill You can see that it is working right now and also manually We have modelers who manually level the model And then the two sides are compared Once the project is frozen the hard model is created we call it On the door you see a film that simulates a bit the effect of painting To understand how light hits and the car looks This is instead the concept car that they created with Sony for Gran Turismo Watch out it's beautiful And it's a car that knows how to be realized digitally in the sense that you can drive this car only by playing a video game How does it happen for concept cars they are inspirations for real cars such as the 499P You can see the front view and this side cut are very similar This is the reference model of the Purosangue Then once the mathematics are frozen and the final design of the car is defined a reference model is created In this case it's made of resin You will also see that the glass is made of plexiglass This one is therefore open it's not solid like the other one Exactly all reference models have openable doors but they are not operational They do not have an engine And you have these models ready Actually already before the car is on the market Exactly usually the reference models They are completed about one and a half to two years before the car's launch Then from the model shop we also went to see His office where he works Then here we enter the Color&Tree office As I explained to you before here we define the colors For all projects whether they are in the range one-off or customized projects such as atelier or tailor- made cars We have range and one-off We instead have the special setups part and a part of tailor -made This is my beautiful desk What is your typical day like I usually arrive at nine o'clock and we usually have two client appointments a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon I or my colleagues take turns following the customer during the car configuration phase Otherwise I will also handle all the research part for new innovative and sustainable materials of the company Therefore I spend a lot of time doing research and also finding new suppliers So no one can come here except clearly the customers who come to you to have their cars customized Exactly How does this aspect work When you buy a Ferrari who is the leader You can buy a Ferrari only at an authorized dealership right Exactly No other way Exactly the purchase is at the dealership once the order is confirmed you can make an appointment with the dealer For an atelier or tailor-made service then it is carried out in the company precisely for the appointment and configuration If the style center comes up with the bodywork And the aesthetic part is in the product development center where engineers and technicians who design the mechanical part are located So if I now check the computer of these people do I find the concepts for the Ferraris that will be in the coming years Exactly we will never make you do that Are you going to make me crash the computer No And this building was designed by A famous architect right Yes Massimiliano Cuxos in 2004 This project this building It is part of the renovation project of some company buildings called Formula Uomo where the goal was precisely To create environments that were a common ground for technology ecology and well-being In this building they chose to establish their offices Our CEO Lorenzo Vigna and our president Gianelca who are in that room over there What's going on here We are currently in the Yellow Room which is one of the most important rooms and areas of the company Here very important meetings take place example the board of directors Anyway this building seems to have been made very recently in reality as he said before He is about twenty years old Tuni really looks good This is instead the Red Room where they hold classic conferences Let's go up to the upper floor where all the people who work are In the center style we saw earlier where more attention is given The aesthetic and design part here everything that is underneath is studied the engineering part the technical part the engine All those aspects there Here a meeting took place with pizza and various foods At that point it was getting late So went to dinner and I continued the tour the next day Good morning friends it's 8:30 in the morning Where there are already a lot of people entering the company So with Stefany went back to the style center this time to see the atelier The place where customers physically come to decide the configuration of their cars We are entering the workshop Then this morning we have a SF90 XX Spider is always in reality reading in the workshop changes depending on the configuration that will take place during the day therefore in this machine We have the customer who will have to configure this car so we put it here exactly so he can sit inside See all details We started from the seats divided between comfort and racing with alcantara or leather coverings and they can also be customized The color of carbon embroidered little horses the interior patterns of the seat and much more But what kind of customers come We have customers from all over the world we also have centers in Shandai and in New York but obviously the majority of our customers are from the region I came to Maranello because I have a heart for the company Many ask if I have to choose my clients They are able to come here Actually there is an initial selection made by the market and by the SS dealers because obviously In recent years the demand for custom configurations ateliers and tailor-made solutions has grown exponentially so it would be impossible to accommodate them all It's for this reason that we give them a lot of help so to speak in the market even in selecting the customers who can access the service Coming here has no extra cost The changes you make will actually increase the car's cost right Okay They have prepared a form that is then handed over The dealer will handle all the financial requests the customer made during the configuration phase and then the dealer will ultimately finalize the deal Does the dealer also come here Yes Along with the customer it's something we absolutely recommend because the dealer It is nevertheless the first person the customer interacts with during the car purchase process therefore it is important that they are present during the configuration And also to follow what was chosen along with us We moved to the area where the customer is welcomed And there you can customize the car On the table other customizable details such as wheel cups carbon details and painted And also the possibility of choosing between a physical badge in the car's body or a painted -on design a manual process It takes eight hours per side It's a bit more vintage It's a bit more vintage that also relates to the world racing formula 1 a bit I'm waiting for Airitage to arrive because the customer really likes it Our customers and atelier don't want to keep the setup exactly the same How the company exits Indeed in all vehicles in the trunk area we have a label customization where they are listed All the choices that the customer makes and therefore this is a bit the symbol of the car's authenticity Here in this workshop How many meetings are there per day Four meetings per day two out of six in the morning in the afternoon and two in the second workshop which is remotely similar At first it's slightly small but it 's identical The same thing happens It happens in the first workshop In this case we have the new arrivals The 12 cylinders Spider means that the customer who will arrive shortly will come to configure this car I have fallen in love The 12-cylinder one is nice when I came for the inspection last time there was a green one but this one is also very beautiful I resent the customer who is about to buy one We have moved to wheels for every Ferrari model you can choose from several types of wheels as the carbon fiber ring that is standard across all models then you can customize the finishes diamond-cut matte glossy the cups Yellow or black and even the color of the pliers and brakes Then went to the terrace as well o see how natural light reflects the various colors indeed with direct sunlight you can really see all the nuances The reflections of color The most important thing is to see how it reflects light and color and to understand how it reflects on the bodywork e light then how are the style lines of the model highlighted depending on the location and articulation Lighter or darker color these lines are more or less accepted In reality I have seen the atelier part where you can make changes Customizations similar to those that could be made at the dealership but there is also the tailored -made part that allows for even more unique customizations Then here we are finally in my second home this is the place where I spend most of my days and it 's tailor made The highest level of customization available in Ferrari before the world of one-off cars this means that in this case too we can play with colors finish and materials without however changing the true and proper aesthetics of the car If in the workshop the materials are limited Where you can let your imagination run wild denim woods fabrics from fashion and design everything To customize the car the customer can be inspired A tre stili ben precisi This is the classic stable these three collections represent a bit the DNA of Ferrari therefore we have the heritage part The most classic part the stable part which is related to the world of racing Formula 1 and the new part which is a bit More closely connected to the world of fashion interior design than you may know for some years now we too have entered the world of high fashion so now there is A particular attention is given to this aspect here I fell in love with the 296 on display which is different from the car on display In the atelier nothing changes it's always her and she has a wonderful customization In this case we wanted to make a very classic configuration but still Very particular in that we have chosen this bronze very metallic with a contrast on the livery in this champagne color I would call So it's a kind of pinkish silver and inside we find a red leather on this racing seat with Daytona details Therefore these features are small bumps gusts while on the area of the carpets under panels and on the central insert of the seat We have used a material taken from the world of nautical and outdoor equipment so this material is very durable and very distinctive We started to see the various styles starting from the classic style the most elegant one that recalls the brand 's history The colors that come out are used for the outside are still a bit more elegant more classic such as our blues our greys We use a lot of silver leather which has a more natural texture and is a bit larger than the leather we saw Our natural leather which remains smoother we use various treatments as in this case we can make some weaves for the leather In addition to the fabric leather and rope weaves the central parts of the seats the stitching of the seat sides and the seats themselves can be customized They can be used as woods like tech from the world of nautical with which you can create a lot of details We also use these modulesprecisely To explain how to replicate the configuration of a classic car on a car with a pentoramiya we have shot the classic blue and silver which is a color that was very successful and we applied it on an 812 Competizione and also for what concerns It refers to the interior we have replicated the same configuration so the seat is covered with the same leather So for example If I have a tostada that will be certified like the classic ones where were yesterday can I then also get your new one exactly like the historic one Exactly Indeed we often communicate with the classics department because it often happens that the customer has the historic vehicle in the garage And I wanted to replicate the same configuration on the new machine Then we moved on to the new collection inspired by fashion and design It uses less leather and more technical fabrics This is called Superfabric trilobed or here we can develop Alcantara In colors monoven here we can do also processing in particular on alcantara as in this case of perforations where we have a colored backing behind en you can have this two-color game we see it also on this wild champion just as an example then as he had guessed From the upholstery of the drawers we can also use denim as this has been requested by some customers In these drawers we do not have any vintage vehicles The moodboard of inspiration like this one everything about olive green The colors I discovered that drive me crazy are the transitional ones She showed me five of them They are called that because they change with the various reflections of the sun and light She showed me the green Volterra It contains real gold inside the white Courmayer the silver Siracusa and my favorite the red Taormina which seems a simple red but it has shades of every color Let's move to the collection Scuderia which obviously is inspired by Formula 1 There is a huge demand for the tricolor version this is an example of a gradient pattern that we created for the pilots' track collection It is still very popular we can do even details tricolor on the steering wheel tricolor stitching always a lot of carbon fiber these are features The carbon fiber trims are different from the standard ones customizable only in tailor made and there is also the possibility to choose fabrics for your car Perfectly restored from historic racing cars then you can choose the marquetry patterns on the metal parts this for example It is one of the most requested names called Trilobato and this has inspired one of the materials which may be the most requested by customers Then how could I see it up close We have captured the same pattern of the Trilobate Almond on this fabric called Super Fabri Trilobato We use it a lot on carpets and it is a cut-resistant super durable fabric so it is really suitable even on the lowest part of the car At that point I couldn't resist and went into the 296 to feel like a customer a bit this is what it's like to drive this car I have a machine ache today I have a bit of a machine ache I don't know why I was turning around to see the places behind but rightly After trying the feeling of getting into the car I decided to put myself in the customer 's shoes pretending to buy My SF90XX Spider the most sporty car you can choose right now and I said hello to Stefani to personalize it We tailor make we use Photoshop so in this case we can really configure and modify every single detail of the car where it might be more difficult Farlo in an atelier on a configurator then here we can customize really anything usually we start with the exterior color What color should we make it A nice transitional color The Portofino This Portofino We can do it Actually from the screen you'll see that it's quite similar Because we have to make them all by hand this is a gray one with real rainbow reflections so this is one Tell them those colors are exclusive to tailor made because we still have to help the customer during the configuration so that they don't make a mistake a crazy interior then the interior how do we do it then as for the interior you can choose between two types of seats Then we have the racing seat or the best weight seat give me the comfortable one there are racing seats we don't have the comfort seat then we have the best weight seat It's a type of monocoque give me the best weight they seem to have slightly more supports yes and in this case we can configure it in various types From Alcantara we can also do a gray a silver outside we said that gray is a bit rainbow so anyway I can't put in warm colors we should stick to grays exactly in my opinion a gray could work well and we could add For example the horse certainly the horse must be added by force and in this case we could make it black to resume a nice little horse nero embroidered yes and also the central details in black alcantara for example so we have a bit of contras It remains a bit more sporty clear then we take it here but in reality potentially these four hours we can modify The steering wheel cover is a nice touch a cute thing you can do which is to personalize the plate this is placed inside the cabin And the customers really can go wild by putting their initials or their wife's name we've really seen everything and especially It says "tailor made" on the Ferraris which would not only pass as "tailor made " but it's not written "tailor made " so in the atelier We have the word "atelier " written otherwise it's simply written the model's name at that point around 12 We left the style center to head to the E-Building a brand-new building that had been inaugurated that very day in fact I was there Alongside many journalists from Bloomberg Forbes and many other magazines at the opening speech by John Aitken the company's president The E-Building was officially inaugurated sat first John Aitken then the CEO Benedetto Vigna I will be back here this afternoon because President Mattarella will also come to this E-Building not only will all electric motors be produced They will be assembled right here in the most modern and new factory that exists in the Ferrari plants right now Clearly here the level of automation is the absolute dish the workers in fact do not have to do not have to do any kind of heavy wor None of the effort is required these robots can also be lowered underground so that one does not even have to bend too much And these islands that you see are movable they can move freely and flexibly throughout the structure clearly Thanks to this facility it's not that the production of cars increases so Ferrari will not produce more cars than it already produces We will have more efficiency the standards are even higher this is another of the AGV that I mentioned earlier it can move up down to the right It can go anywhere Here on the lower floor Instead this is where the finished cars exit Right here at the end of the factory there's the exit line That's where the cars come off the line because they're finished and ready to be used but clearly electric Ferraris don't exist yet Completely electric but they have been announced and by the end of next year it is hoped that they will announce exactly which models will be These are the AGVs I was talking about earlier seen up close after this Family Day weekend the structure will be fully operational The entire building was designed by Cucinella which is one of the most important architecture firms in Italy so meeting him in person I asked him a few questions Tell me a bit How did the idea of this building come about The idea of building on a site that was occupied It was built in less than half the area of the old bells then upgraded built on two levels And especially growing taller has given this possibility of having this visual relationship between the inside of the factory and the landscape It is around because what is seen outside the factory is exactly the landscape and culture of this place it is the first time It is an industrial building with features of an office building so all the translucent glass panels Lots of natural light even inside there are light columns the relationship with natural light is important because it is one of the signals The most important aspect from the point of view of work quality is the light then it changes a cloud arrives the sun comes it changes and it is a psychological aspect It is important to avoid working in a factory that is a black box with artificial lights there are some peculiarities of this building Maybe it wasn't visible before the whole theme for example of energy not only are there 3 000 solar panels Energy production there is the issue of the harvest of rainwater that we need to be stored and reused For irrigation therefore we do not use the water from the water supply or for other purposes they are treated and reused in the bathrooms They are all principles that help explain how a new generation building is attentive to this relationship with the environment these are all precautions They give an idea of the philosophy behind the vision of a company that therefore already starts doing what we call The ecological transition is underway we are leaving the buildings and we are heading to lunch at the company restaurant called The Podium Where the restaurant is we have fruit and vegetables sweet yogurt cakes cold main dishes cold first courses hot main dishes We have fries other hot dishes hot first courses we have pizzas look how nice the uniforms of the lines I took myself Pasta with meat sauce turkey Brussels' favorite apple juice no pizza I'm on a diet lunch break is over The witness went to Federico who accompanied me until the end of the day through the entire reproductive area but starting in the opposite direction that is from the side where Cars are completed where the bodywork and mechanics are joined then moving on to production of machinery and engines and finally arriving at the foundry where aluminum is melted to produce components We enter the technology area body shop let 's go see how the cars are assembled three lines 8 cylinders 12 cylinders Special series well then before seeing all these areas that you will show me explain well how it works the production of a Ferrari is a process very complicated It all started in Maranello in reality we also have an area of paving in Modena by Scaglietti still in the times that remained there We receive the castings here we have a foundry and machining operations where we process components in aluminum and steel then we have The engine assembly and mechanical assembly made very easy tested and delivered to customers here we are inside In the bodywork technology area everything starts at station 1 where the operators begin to assemble e bare shell that enters in here follows a path to then arrive at the wedding until arriving at the nearly finished vehicle Ready for testing here we also the assembly of the first couplings the operator there along with some moving parts then until continuing until reaching the other side of the path to the assembly even of the wheels until exiting the line Every car is different from the other because Ferrari places a lot of emphasis on customization and therefore it is practically impossible to find two Ferraris that are identical All these Ferraris we are seeing absolutely have something different there is no stock Ferrari you can find in a dealership And take it and go out driving to the car all start from a customization path that can be done either at the dealer or in Maranello In Shanghai in New York for example he had a nice ride on the giant exactly it's likely not sure that it's a version setup at Fiorano view what they are the lines that you can find on the hood at each station you see a small piece is added the car moves forward In its production process behind me the famous marriage occurs that is the car's chassis is officially connected To everything else that's where the mechanics meet the bodywork in 19 minutes it happens again this station instead It is the only one without humans because that's where crystals are assembled to build security everything is completely automated this is a Roma Spider Bianca white interiors very Gran Turismo meanwhile I'm learning all the technical jargon of this job here instead Let's see how the tires are mounted look at that he doesn't even have to lift them with his hands he does everything with the machine Watch a bit these first 5 Ferraris here all red but each with a different red each of these reds has a different name But I obviously don't know them I asked about Rosso Mugello Rosso Scuderia Rosso Dino Rosso Corsa and Rosso Fuoco Extracampionario from 8 seconds ahead go forward the line as you can see everything moves forward by one station therefore now this car is ready someone will come Take her on a tour and start road testing it where are we going now 12-cylinder line third floor SF90XX Race car livery dedicated to the 2023 Le Mans winner car number 51 499B which won the C4 this year Teeth cover from below meaning the cars are assembled but they are different models yes we said 12-cylinder line but in reality The beautiful thing about Ferrari's assembly lines is that we can assemble any car on any line We are on the third floor Then you can also see a bit of the view I've already said that but clearly all these cars are not only for Italy but they will be shipped around the world this type driving on the right we are at the special series line here it is assembled the Daytona SP3 First there is SP1 and SP2 Monza which celebrated the 50s this is a reinterpretation of past standards 12-cylinder naturally aspirated engine fully carbon fiber body price around 2 million euros who buys a car like this Very influential clients and we could say lucky ones whom I hope will invite me for a ride how does one get a car like that It is a special route that is offered to the most loyal customers so this one that you cannot find in a dealership is offered to customers It is a reimagining in a way of a vintage car a 60s vehicle which in this case is that famous one that also won 1 2 3 a Daytona there is a historic photo which you can see in many magazines so here we have the rear lines of the historic car The same lines of the redesigned car so we are inside the Ferraris I see on the road two Ferraris one of these is an icon I realize that we are talking about a special machine among special machines by the way take a look it seems like regular paint If we get closer we see that it is actually carbon fiber Moreover Ferrari no longer produces more than a single icon at a time so as long as it is not finished the production continues This icon here no new model will arrive it's clearly a limited edition where do we go now upholstery coverings Handmade fabrics and leathers are worked here You can see some samples here This is clearly a very manual job Very handmade which then in reality all lines are practically handmade simply the machines help in all parts Heavy work but here as we can see there is human intervention human control in practically all steps here we have the drawers With all the colorful spools do you want a pink pony now I ask if they make a pony right on the t-shirt Let's see what they tell me a special thanks to Maria Pia who gave me the keychain just to indicate This is our vocational school our technical training school that we have inside the company where we pass on knowledge rough the years what do you learn you learn everything you learn about trades literally any technological field people are trained by specialists They have worked here for years Maria Pia has been here since 1999 and then she will be able to share her knowledge we then moved to another building The technology area engine assembly where the Ferrari engines are assembled this is the specific line for 6- cylinder engines eight-cylinder engines on the other hand we have the twelve -cylinder line so this is where the Ferrari engines are physically built Among other things all areas of production are filled with Ferraris this one in particular has the base of a street car but in reality It is not homologated because it is designed to be a race car serious racing enthusiasts race these cars here Indeed it is called the 296 Challenge the 296 is the original one for the road the Challenge is the one for the track the most repetitive operations have been automated such a way that all other operations could focus on our athletes therefore the approach is artisanal but where there are things repetitive where perhaps there is not use of the brain machines cannot be made the use of machinery is also used to alleviate The physical effort of people the rest is all done by hand for example look at this giant mechanical arm this is happening here First movement of the engine block with connecting rods and pistons already assembled plus the first Ferrari engine marking so in effect a Ferrari engine here we have a GTO the first supercar ever made there are only 272 in the world here the assembly begins The 12-cylinder engine is followed by an operator along the entire line These are the initial operations until reaching e 12-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that is the one you see there finished and you told me that only one person works in the engine's interes The special thing about this line is that there is no operator or attendant assigned to a station but rather follows the entire engine from the first screw to the last We have left the engine assembly area now we are heading to the end of Lenzo Ferrari street technological area mechanical processing and what happens We process the first components which are then assembled into the engine we work with aluminum from our foundry steel and mainly the operations They are performed are pre-roughing turning and grinding we start the cycle from the metrology room where measurements are taken It is a highly controlled environment you cannot enter temperature is regulated to ensure all measurements are accurate to the micron or nanometer The productive environment is also characterized by green areas and there we also have a training room for a variety of reasons o relax the atmosphere check the temperature we also have natural light to suffer these two robots are called Romeo and Juliet are working together very romantically we have left the mechanical processing and now we are heading to the foundry Well yes here at Ferrari they melt the metal in particular aluminum they take it right from the ingots and melt it meanwhile here Look how many knocks there are they have all not been painted yet they are made by hand a very artisanal work we have arrived In the technology area there is a law that would be the foundry at TLL aluminum is worked this is the foundry behind me here There are the furnaces these are the souls where the molten aluminum is poured all of them are made by hand it's not that hot for a foundry anyway This is a department inside the foundry which was mainly born many years ago for sports management and we produce components for Ferrari And all that obviously brings activation so a lot of research is done so the metal enters it comes out We do have furnaces with the metal a 750 degree melt that enters inside a sand mound that solidifies and the next day the melt comes ou And who makes the sand mounds We make them internally with sand that is compacted and moreover a sand tha It is also internally regenerated for the tests that won the world championships we produced them inside the foundry as I was telling you But they can' t do them all by hand instead they are doing them by hand here they do precision work clearly the piece From here it doesn 't come out perfect it then gets machined adjusted in short made perfect These are base parts just out of the mold you don't feel it I amazing they emit heat everything starts from the aluminum ingots that you see here behind this is the very first step in the production line The production tour is over Nice Very So we started from the finished machines we did a little check and went through all the steps of the supply chain of production until you only see the ingot then a puff okay tell me a bit what do you do instead in your job as in Ferrari I handle technically employer branding in relation to universities divided between a bit of recruiting and events at universities so I start aga Human resources when you get to the office It depends on 8:30 in the morning the workday ends It's 6-6 and a half and it's nice because it's a highly connected world with technology research and development and young people They are the end of the future of this company fun fact behind the scenes there has always been Riccardo whom we have never shown who joined Ferrari Handing in my resume in person to Federico we now work together but during an event the Motor Valley Fest last year in 2023 He arrived with the CV but the suggestion was still to go through the website which works in the end This second day it got too late For dinner this time at Cavallino Ferrari 's restaurant in front of the Maranello entrance but it's not over yet Because on the third day thanks to Family Day I was able to visit some areas that I missed which I otherwise would not have been able to see Actually for the Family Day they set up stars in such a way that the secret and top secret parts were hidden I' m using the Family Day to see things The ones I couldn' t see yesterday and the day before and so I'm here at the Ferrari Team headquarters in particular here is where they actually come Install the cars when they return from the champions then where I cannot go right now there is the Scuderia Ferrari team that is following remotely The race in Barcelona which you have right in Barcelona there is a physical team present but here there is the box which remotely follows the race From this side here behind instead we have the driving simulator we can see it because in reality this is a slightly older model While the super modern ones are over there alas they are inaccessible Back here we have where they train for the pit stop Because clearly the mechanics must be as fast as possible so they train here on these two tracks the car goes and must stop At a precise point because if it stops a bit after or a bit before the mechanics have to stop losing precious time Behind me is the Fiorano circuit the company's private track where the various cars are tested and before that we have see All of the Formula 1 area is right in front of me there is the headquarters of the endurance and customer racing division because I don't know if you know that I am not the Formula 1 drivers when the races are on the track there are people who buy racing cars just for the track and compete They have their own team of engineers exactly like a professional driver but they do it for passion and that 's all These cars you see are here and in this workshop they fix them they keep them because when customers access the XX program which are indeed customer runs they not only buy the car They must have access also to maintenance to the fact that they have no problems to the fact that they transport their car when they go to the race On the upper floor instead you go from the XX to the Formula 1 clients where the cars are always here for the same maintenance reason Control and safety these are all Formula 1 cars genuine ones from past years that are now being used To allow some customers to have the real Formula 1 experience a truly spectacular thing we have all the sports cars and if I want to experience being a pilot from the 70s because I'm a fan I can do it clearly these things that I just said They are not for common mortals Unfortunately think that only in the XX series all the cars produced are barely a hundred Let's talk about experiences and privileges of a few hundred at most people in the world I hoped now to but instead nothing I had the chance to see the painting section which I had skipped the day before due to time constraints this is the area Where the metal shells enter from the shot blasting to come out perfectly painted this is the electrodeposition phase Where the primer is applied then the color is applied and then there is an acrylic background to fix everything and it is exactly here that they also do it The students painted them with an airbrush then this one is aluminum just washed they still have to put everything back I then passed by In the experimental construction area which as the name suggests is the area where all the research and development work takes place The new models are an area that directly relates to the product development center because what is engineered there It's right here where product development happens where new models are conceived these cars right here all wrapped up They are also running here for the company and these other cars here hidden are called molotipi and are different prototypes that come from the center Product development engineers discuss with this area until a perfect model is created Generally prototypes start from existing car bases that are modified equipped tested in a thousand different ways among other things these wraps All strange I see that when the car turns it's not clear what shape the molotipo has at a certain point it becomes a prototype as you can see It is very disguised there are some forms that have been added precisely to not make it clear the first models perfect ones come out from here not from the line Because the line is not yet ready and here parked we have one of the most famous one-off cars ever produced with only one unit made the most desired absolute terms they make about one per year this is the style model clearly as we have seen at the style center where the model is not self e real genuine original thanks to the customer clearly here instead is where they make all the carbon components even here a rather good job Handmade and with this third day my experience here at Ferrari comes to an end the most energetic experience I have ever had Of all the things I have discovered this is the most important but it's time to say goodbye and at this point you will tell me but hadn't you also Interviewed the CEO Benedetto Vigna Yes I spoke with him for an hour and ten minutes but obviously in this video I didn't want to sacrifice too much playing time so you'll see the full interview in the next video but only if you remember Sign up for the channel like this video and share this video with your friends write to me in the comments What do you think of this video Thank you again to Ferrari for allowing me to have this amazing experience See you with the next video
