When they unveiled the 918 RSR at the 2011 Detroit auto show it was fairly apparent that "spectacular" was the automotive understatement of the decade.

We tend to spend a lot of time surfing around various Porsche related sites looking for information, new products and story ideas. Some times we find all three in one spot.

It’s cool to see the 918 lined up next to the latest hyper-offerings from Ferrari, Mclaren, Lamborghini, et al at Cars and Coffee. But when I attend these events nowadays, the first things I look at are the odometers. Do their owners really drive them or are they success trophies meant to show off on Saturday mornings?

Car assembly is usually a loud and dirty process, and the assembly line is never a pleasant place to hang around. There are impact guns and automated robots making noise. Porsche's 918 Spyder assembly line does things a little differently, however. Everything is done by hand, everything is done by artisans. This video accurately depicts what its …
