Autoblog Night Watch: The Crafting of a Ferrari V12
A twelve-cylinder Ferrari engine isn't simply a piece of machinery, it's a mechanical work of art. Each one is painstakingly assembled by hand by teams of skilled craftsmen at the factory in Maranello, outside of Modena in Northern Italy.
To watch the engine take form – each piston and valve placed into the sand-casted aluminum engine block – is like watching a block of marble take form into a priceless sculpture. Only this one does have a price ($250k with the 612 Scaglietti built around it). And it doesn't just sit there, it goes really fast!
