I was going to Italy, so I called Vader in advance and made an appointment to go to Ferrari headquarters. After all, I was a person who owned Rafa.

I heard that there is a Ferrari museum, which can be entered in just over a dozen euros. This time the goal is the Ferrari headquarters located on the Abetone Inferiore Street, Maranello. It started with the birth of the first French car in 1947 and achieved a legend. Because it is not only the location of the factory, the scuderia factory team and the F1 garage, but also the paradise that Ferrari enthusiasts around the world yearn for.

The reply was soon reached and you can visit at any time. The headquarters claimed to the outside world that no one was allowed to visit. Only the official designated dealers and some customers could be lucky enough to become visitors to the Maranello headquarters. Just listen to this kind of deceitful words.

As soon as he left the airport, Vader specially sent a car to pick him up and delivered him directly to his destination. There were many rare versions parked at the gate, and the favorite place for loyal fans to stay.

When you enter the Ferrari factory, your first impression is that it is clean and clean. Of course, you will inevitably have the shocking classic reds: red road signs, red work clothes, and red signs, as if you go deep into every corner of the factory...

You can hear roars passing by your ears at any time. Even if you drive by low, the Red Devil cannot suppress his wildness. Even the roads in the factory are named after the well-known drivers in history.

bsp;ga11iera personally received it. I heard that I wanted to visit the workshop, so I led the way without saying a word. Rather than saying that it has not only the cutting-edge technology that leads the world, it is more like an art studio that creates classics.

According to the order of casting workshop, machinery workshop, motivation assembly, white body welding, paint workshop, and total assembly workshop, witness with your own eyes the entire process of how a Ferrari was born.

When he came to the casting workshop, the sales director introduced various processes in fluent English. Alice was responsible for translating: "Light metal alloys are the top priority of Ferrari casting. The main raw material is aluminum alloy. The engine parts are cast with gravity-started casting to ensure the optimal mechanical properties of a single part..."

SC Johnson was curiously looking at the complexity of various high-tech production lines, cylinder heads, cylinder blocks and other components that required extremely accurate operation, so as to create the narrowest liquid cooling channel corresponding to the design.

First, cast the mold on the front, smel the shape of the parts, then use different techniques according to different types, fill the mold with sand, and finally use a catalyst to cure.

Then, before sending the mold to the area where the melted metal is poured, irradiated with an acetylene flame to increase the fluidity of the cast liquid metal.

The temperature of the smelting furnace is over 80 degrees, and 90 kilograms of metal can be smelted each time. During the process, different components will be added to the metal to form the final alloy.

Then the metal is poured into a furnace, and after a sharp operation, it is transferred to the second furnace, called the insulation furnace. Keep it at a temperature of 75o degrees, and prepare the sand core at the same time.

Just look at this kind of thing and enjoy it. Just think about it with your toes and you will know it is the core secret. When you come to the machinery workshop, there are 15 ooo squares in fifteen areas, each performing its own duties and interlocking.

The most distinctive one is the engine assembly workshop, a pair of mechanical arms called Romeo and Juliet. Romeo is responsible for picking up a valve seat that looks like the size of an engagement ring and putting it into a liquid nitrogen container of up to minus 3 oo degrees. The valve seat size is slightly reduced according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.

Juliet picked up the cylinder head and waited for Romeo to take the valve seat out of the low-temperature environment and put it in the cylinder seat. After a few seconds, the temperature of the valve seat that was frozen by the low-temperature began to rise, and the size began to expand and expand.

Finally, with the simple natural relationship between metal and temperature, the two can be permanently locked together without any mechanical processing.

Very happy!

Although it is full of high-tech, many manual operations are retained, as if an enthusiast is obsessed with removing the motivation of a car or motorcycle and polishing the valves by himself to obtain greater horsepower.

Here, the precision polishing of the crankshaft and camshaft is still done by hand, and each component will be finalized through the metering room to ensure perfection.

The core is naturally the motivation assembly, and one of the most precise operations is to set the valve time. With the help of the time regulator, the camshaft is released and placed in the correct position. Then with the help of a manual tester, technicians conduct manual inspection of the 458Ita1ia motivation.

I saw an old white technician first installed the engine set on the automatic support for final assembly, then installed the lubricating oil nozzle and crankshaft. Then he used the cylinder liner to install the piston. He watched one component after another, and the motivation gradually formed...

Finally, the motivation was sent to the test bench. After the trial operation stage, everyone came to the body assembly workshop designed by the famous architect Jeannouve1, where they were like a cathedral.

The worker conducts a torque and power test of 5ooo rpm on the motor. If any abnormality occurs, the probability is 2 in 1000 and will be returned to the assembly line to find out the cause. After the inspection is completed, connect it to the transformer and the differential device, and then send it to the final assembly line.

Next is the white body, the assembly of the body structural parts and covers includes the roof cover, fenders, motor cover, suitcase cover and doors, but does not include the unpainted body of accessories and decorative parts.

Because it is too precise, all computer-controlled robotic arms are installed. Because the key control hole position directly affects the body assembly accuracy, the design hole position reference and process reference and the consistency of the assembly reference must also be considered. Unified benchmarks are conducive to the design of body welding fixtures and reduce cumulative errors during the manufacturing process.

Johnson was suddenly curious. I don’t know how many loyal fans of the Red Devils in the world are, and there are many technical experts among them. Just like they come to apply for a job, then...

After hearing this, the other party showed a mysterious smile and explained in a low voice: "Every Ferrari employee must not buy a sports car they produce. The reason is not to prevent them from reselling and obtaining the intermediate price difference, nor is it because they cannot afford the noble Ferrari, but to allow customers to receive the best service, so only real customers can buy it."

This flattery makes Johnson very comfortable. Of course, new cars cannot be sold, and the employees of second-hand cars still have opportunities.

The manager continued to explain: "There is a special employee who is allowed to buy a brand new Ferrari, and that is the F1 driver. They are very liquid and are more like a contractor to us."

"But you don't have to worry. We have not provided additional discounts to these drivers. If you want to buy it, you have to queue up to pay for it. Limited editions are even more impossible to buy them just by wanting to buy them. I don't know how many people have complained about it for so many years because of hunger marketing, but it's not yet..."

Johnson couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Hard!
Chapter completed!
