As I toured the Lamborghini factory i was struck with the time taken in small details, from the fit of leather to the assembly of engines. With most auto manufacturers, assembly tasks are carried out by machine or more often than not farmed out to a third party company for them to assemble with machines. At Lamborghini, these things are done by individuals by hand, one at a time.

It was wonderful to see the engines assembled and the leather seats built. The time and care taken were evident by the way each crafts person did their job.

Most surprising to me though was how well it all comes together with the finished product. You have the sense of perfection while in a Lamborghini that is not equaled by any other car I have driven.
