A visit to the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy leaves you with the pictures of Zen gardens and apparently floating buildings aimed at inspiring engineers, hi-tech tools and robots capable of operating at -100 or +300 degrees Celsius - and the intense emotions of speeding beyond 200 km per hour close to a former home of Enzo Ferrari, in a car that is able to run as fast as 300 km/h.
The Ferrari plant in Maranello, which gives life to an otherwise clean but rather dull town, covers 50 hectares of land and is a small town by itself.
Some 2,800 people work on the site, a third of which belong to the motorsport division. Today, all Ferrari models cost more than 150,000 euro and the new California model suits the company well.
