Excellent video. Thanks Skaala! :)

That engine is a monster. Looks almost as if it belongs in a huge truck or something. I like it. :)

IMO Italians are not very relaxed at work, but I also liked the Ferrari factory maybe more. Those trees inside the factory were cool! :good:

Thanks for the link Skaala  :) I don't remember how much the Veyron's engine weights ? I have 300 kgs in my head for the gearbox and transmission alone but I am not sure  :?
