The world is full of technological marvels, but what's often overlooked are the equally impressive factories in which these masterful machines are constructed.
American car giant Chevrolet are reintroducing the Camaro after more than seven years out of production. It’s an iconic vehicle and a masterpiece of modern production techniques that requires a cutting edge facility to transform raw materials into a driver’s dream. That facility is a stunning 8.5million-square-foot assembly line, a megafactory which fuses cutting edge technology and high precision robots to produce one of the hottest sets of wheels about. The Chevrolet Camaro has been a classic "muscle car" for more than 40 years, but what does it take to build a classic car with 21st century technology? Now, after seven years off the factory line, Chevy is reintroducing the 2010 Camaro SS. National Geographic visits the 8.5-million-square-foot factory–one of the largest auto plants in the world–where the car is stamped from cold raw steel and assembled by high-tech, precise robots and nearly 5,800 employees, to create the car's specially-designed "unibody" construction.
