You have to be impressed by this

OK, the car sales seem to have flopped but just look at the standards in this factory.

Wow

My Grandad used to visit Dresden all the time.

My father did too, in 1944 about twice a day
Ok not PC, apologies to anyone it offends.

Now for the factory. Words fail me. Too good to be true.

Looks much like the SLR factory. I really like the dripless fluid(s) injection.

How much are the Phaeton W12s new? I seem to recall they are about £60k? I've seen a couple for sale @ around £30k already

May be interested if the fall to closer to £15k

 

[Sp!ke]

On autotrader from about 22k with 15,000 miles on the clock.

 

[pepper&boulou]

I wonder if they're looking for any staff.

I don't know much about these but am I correct in assuming the W12 engine is the same as the one in the Bentley?

It is the photo of the light tunnel to detect any paint/bodywork anomalies that really gets to me...my new C-Class estate had several paint and bodywork defects that were spotted the first morning I took delivery of the car. And they were factory-created ones that had to be fixed under warranty.

No doubt Sindelfingen staff need decent facilities and training......

 

[bigmacplease]

That is just amazing!!!!


It just shows how much money they make, to be able to have such a place like that and about two staff!


Looks lovely

Ditto.

The attention to detail is just incredible. A 2nd hand Phaeton at £22,000 would be a complete bargain.

This is the norm for most good factories in Germany; In My case it makes our woodworking industry look Victorian. You will never find in the construction industry floors covered in sawdust. Everything is in order not just chucked in the units by idiots.
We have a lot to thank them for (sorry to say) but they are top notch and efficient
