to their efficiency
many times we see luxury sports cars in
front of our eyes and wonder about their
manufacturing process honestly the
ultimate product we see is the result of
the efforts put in by skilled
technicians and robots let's look into
the manufacturing process of the world's
best luxury sports cars from scratch
step 1 gathering raw materials the most
essential part before beginning with the
building of any car is curating the raw
materials in the case of sports cars the
aim is to use high quality material that
is lightweight that's because these cars
are designed to reach high speeds most
car manufacturers choose their materials
keeping in mind the safety of their
customers step 2 assembling the chassis
to body the stunning exterior of sports
cars never fails to attract the
attention of the people around however
below this exterior lies the main parts
of the car the chassis and the
powertrain that provide outstanding
performance the lightweight and rigid
aluminium frame provides crush zones to
ensure safety in the case of an accident
a team of highly skilled technicians
carries out the welding process
afterwards robots transport the body
panels of the car that are later fitted
onto the chassis once the framing
process is done the technicians use a
pneumatic hoist to place and attach the
exterior panels and doors door panel
cutouts reduce the car's weight and
ensure a degree of structural integrity
a technician then fastens the engine and
gearbox to the chassis using a crane
robots then transport the completed
powertrain to the assembly line here the
automatic crane smoothly lowers the car
body onto the chassis that carries the
gearbox and engine this step is called
marriage as the car body and chassis are
now combined now a worker installs the
wheels of the car using a hydraulic
lifting system painting the body now the
car is coated in a compound that
fluoresces under a special lighting
system to detect the tiny imperfections
left out the detected flaws are then
fixed by hand to prevent the car from
corrosion a robot galvanized the entire
body this body is then passed through a
device that brushes off all the dust
using ostrich feather brushes
then comes the painting part the car
body is taken to the paint room here
robots spray an even coat of paint on
the car's body to give it a smooth look
once the paint dries the robots apply
multiple coats of paint later the body
undergoes precise waxing by hand to get
rid of any blemishes
installing the dashboard then comes the
turn of installing the dashboard
components the technicians test all the
dashboard parts including the analog and
digital displays a master computer that
runs the electronics and information
systems is connected to these components
once the testing is done the technicians
fit the completed dashboard into the car
installing the steering wheel the next
step is to install and test the steering
wheel for this a technician uses a
special assembly jig to position and
tighten the steering wheel onto the car
the worker then lowers the trunk cover
and hardtop into the appropriate place
finally a record double checks the
installation of the hydraulic mechanism
of the vehicle check for water leakage
at this stage the car is checked for
water leakages the car is placed in a
room and water is sprayed from all
directions from all four sides the top
and bottom this process simulates
extremely wet conditions the doors are
then manually checked for water and
aggression again a worker sits inside
the car and checks for water aggression
inside the car if there is no water
leakage the car is sent for the final
check
testing before delivering automobile
parts might sometimes fail to work
correctly due to manufacturing errors
therefore it is vital to check the
functionality of the entire car before
delivering it to the customer so once
the manufacturing process of any sports
car is completed a stringent quality
check is done to ensure there are no
flaws in the car the entire car
including the exterior interior doors
lights dashboard engine car
functionalities is checked by an actual
human
here the cars are also checked for
suspension the car is connected to a
suspension simulator a worker sits in
the car and turns on the simulator this
is the final part of the testing after
the car passes the quality check it is
delivered to the customer a closer look
into the making of a luxury sports car
the bugatti veyron having talked about
the general process of building a luxury
sports car it is now time to dive a
little deeper into making a particular
car in this section we will cover the
manufacturing process of the bugatti
veyron the bugatti veyron is a limited
edition sports car by bugatti launched
in 2005. it is a mid-engine sports car
with a top speed of 407 kilometers per
hour and only 450 units of the car are
available in the market this deluxe car
is assembled at individual stations and
not in a typical assembly line a
technician connects the transmissions to
the engine using bolts on a ratchet at
the first station then the mechanical
components of the car's rear section are
assembled the technicians push the rear
end through a track to connect it with
the front end the track is on the floor
and covered with metal plates that open
and close around the trolley feet while
moving both the front and back ends are
connected with only 14 titanium bolts
using handheld ratchets at the ruling
test station an expert tests each
component of the bugatti veyron this
includes the components attached to the
rear wing assembly the car is tested at
high speeds because that's when the rear
wing extends and applies a massive
downward force to keep the car firmly on
the ground
also when the driver applies brakes at
such a speed it flips to a vertical
position by adding the braking power to
the car's powerful ceramic discs here
the mechanical part of the bugatti
veyron's assembly is complete now comes
the crafty part of the bugatti veyron
that is to style its exterior at this
moment technicians wear white gloves to
ensure that fingerprints or scratches do
not harm the surface each component of
the bugatti veyron including the doors
and roofs are installed with extreme
care and precision the sports car is
then sent for painting and polishing a
specialist ensures that the car is
polished to give it a shining perfection
every inch of the surface is thoroughly
checked to ensure that it is entirely
flawless finally the car is sent for its
final inspection to the last station
here the car is inspected for two days
an expert tests all the parts of the
bugatti including its interior exterior
and functionalities after checking the
entire car it is then marked ready for
delivery and that's it guys hopefully
