Re: 991 Production plant - Nat'l Geographic

Thanks for posting. However all the quick cutting, etc., isn't conducive to actually informing the viewer. That creative license is better left to art films such as: Koyaanisqatsi
Speaking of informative, it says "Ferry" designed the 911. No, Ferdinand "Butzi" is generally credited with that.
Also, it pretty much conflates the base 991 with the S: something like, "the engine went from 3.6 to 3.4 liters, yet gained 5 horsepower," then a blurb displays saying the S generates 400 horsepower. Yeah, but with a 3.8, not the 350 hp 3.4 liter base motor. One might infer the 3.6 and the 3.4 make 395 and 400 hp respectively.

Particularly the airbag installation, at about 3:38. (At least I think it was 38 - could have been 36 though).

Any of his reviews I've seen include some good background about the car and included accurate information.

Even a couple of 981's managed sneak into the production line near the end of the video.

Looks like production is almost done. I wonder what that production crew will be working on when the next 14 are completed.

Almost looked like the engine internals were given a coat of P21S, they were so clean, smooth and shiny. Also pretty meticulous when you see them checking every piece of gapping with a gauge. Of course, that's what you'd expect with a car costing close to $1,000,000 US - actually more than that here in Canada with the current exchange rate.

I guess that one sold at London Porsche will be sitting around for a while because the customer is doing a Spring factory delivery. Probably doing the smart thing, like Pedro had suggested in an earlier post, and getting some driving introduction on their test track.
I believe that's #904 / 918 *NM*

Although a prototype, I suppose "Frankenstein" counted:
