National Geographic's Ultimate Factories: See How Dodge Builds the Challenger
Published Jan 26, 2011
Just the Facts:
The first episode will showcase the Dodge Challenger and how a 3-million-square-foot Canadian assembly plant takes just 20 hours to build the car.
Other episodes include a detailed look at how both Maserati and Bentley build their vehicles.
The first episode will air on the National Geographic channel on Thursday, February 3 at 10 p.m. EST.
WASHINGTON — The National Geographic Channel's Ultimate Factories will showcase the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Viper, Maserati GranTurismo, Mercedes SLS AMG and Bentley Mulsanne in new episodes that start Thursday, February 3 at 10 p.m. EST.
The first episode goes under the hood of the Challenger and shows how Dodge's 3-million-square-foot Canadian assembly plant manages to build 900 vehicles a day, taking just 20 hours from start to finish to assemble each car. The episode then moves to the Mexican factory that builds the famous Hemi engine and shows what a 30-point inspection actually entails.
The next episode, airing February 10, takes viewers across the pond to Maserati's factory that builds cars like the GranTurismo. Combining Italian elegance with power takes awhile to perfect. Getting a Maserati road-ready takes 22 days and involves a variety of inspections and track testing.
Later episodes walk enthusiasts through the process of building "Detroit's only hand-built production car," the now-dormant Dodge Viper, and venture overseas again to show production of the Mercedes SLS AMG and the Bentley Mulsanne. Precision robots and Bentley craft workers star in an episode that should indirectly show how the company justifies its six-figure prices.
