The National Geographic Channel will focus on cars for the next few weeks as they will have a special called ‘Ultimate Factories’.

Their new series will start on the first of October, where they will take you into a behind-the-scenes look of how they make Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Camaro and Porsche models.

The first Episode will revolve around the Lamborghini, and here’s what we got:

ULTIMATE FACTORIES: LAMBORGHINI
Thursday, October 1 at 8PM ET/PT

Lamborghinis factory in SantAgata Bolognese, Italy is building its fastest car ever the Murcielago SV, of which just 350 will be made.

The $450,000 Murcielago SV launches from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 212 miles per hour.

The factory builds the car almost entirely by hand including its engine and body. The car is also painted and assembled by hand, including installation of the famous Lamborghini scissor doors. Every car is custom-built to order, and only 2.7 cars are completed per day.

After this the next episodes will continue on a weekly basis.
