About Factory Tour Footage
Factory tour footage takes you inside the places where cars are born — from hand-built ateliers in Maranello and Crewe to high-volume production lines in Wolfsburg and Toyota City. These clips reveal the extraordinary combination of precision engineering, skilled craftsmanship, and industrial scale that goes into every vehicle. Some of the most fascinating factory content comes from smaller manufacturers where individual workers sign the engines they build, or from historic facilities that have been producing cars for over a century.
The 1980s in Music
The 1980s was the decade of excess, turbocharging, and the most terrifying rally cars ever built. Group B rallying produced monsters like the Audi Quattro S1, Peugeot 205 T16, and Lancia Delta S4 — cars so fast they were eventually banned after a series of fatal accidents. On the road, the supercar as we know it was born: the Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, and Lamborghini Countach became poster-car icons for an entire generation. Japanese manufacturers were engineering precision machines like the Toyota AE86 and Nissan Skyline that would become the foundation of an entire tuning culture. Video footage from the 80s is plentiful and often spectacular, capturing an era when automotive ambition had almost no limits.
