Mega Factories 2 超級工廠





  The glue is handy, the pieces are prepared, and the step-by-step plans are laid out on the work table. Everything is ready for assembly, whether it is for a model car, miniature train, or piece of doll house1 furniture. All of these can be done by one person in one room at a leisurely pace. What if it is not a model that is being built? What if it is a real sports vehicle2, a subway car, or wood furniture?

  Then a factory is needed—not just any ordinary factory, but a mega3 factory. In National Geographic Channel's series "Mega Factories 2", viewers get a rare behind-the-scenes view of how six world-famous products are manufactured. NGC reveals the technology and workmanship4 involved from the beginning of the factory assembly line5 up to the finished product.

  Everyone loves cars, especially luxury and sports cars. NGC's cameras go inside the factories to show viewers what it takes to make the Rolls Royce Phantom6, the Lamborghini Murci翼ago, the Porsche GT3, and the Audi R8. "Mega Factories 2: Audi" is the ride of a lifetime.
