I want to buy an RS now. Seeing things like factory ducting on the brakes is impressive. Can these things be locked out to 100% RWD for extended periods?

[Marty!]

You can side step the clutch in launch control and they'll warrant them. Engineered to do it.

This wasn't a paid gig, we've been stinging to get inside a factory and work on a car since forever and ford came to the party which was rad, and in Germany no less.

You can send almost 100% rearwards, that's drift mode, there's plenty of nerdy vids out there about it. Ours is still on a boat but looking forward to driving it on home soil.

They're German they don't do funny. We recently had some German grads doing work experience with us as a course requirement. I asked them so what's it like being a German visiting Oz, expecting light chit chat. I get a stern reply "vee are Bavarian!"

Fucking Japan vid made me look up flights to take nopics for our anniversary next year.

There goes my tax return

If you haven't been, do it do it do it do it do it.

+1 love any of the Japan vids too. And latest is awesome work.

Lol. My Bosses are a Persian Ba'Hai couple who arrived in Aus as refugees in the early 90s. They were tossing up between having a tilt at Aus or Germany and had some rellies in Germany. When I asked the husband why he chose Aus, he said part of the reason is when they asked the German rellies they said don't. Everyone just works too hard and it's all anyone talks or thinks about!

wicked skids boyz thou ya passenger looked like he'd be rather somewhere else, cant wait for more RS thrashing with more boost.....

[darwinschops]

So much Deutsch disgust at a tardy job. Surprising for me amount of manual work on the line though?

[Captain Kermit]

That was awesome, wondering on that front bumper, why do they even put it on in the first place?

Might be to check that all the clips are in the right spot before it leaves the main factory? Could be easier to get it sorted before it gets moved to the RS factory.

ironic that I find the complete lack of german sense of humour hilarious

Great video. Keen to see what you fellas can get out of it.

I'm guessing so components behind it don't risk being damaged as the car is moved around?

Awesome episode too. I'm always fascinated by the build process.

Disturbing lack of "poo on glass coffee table" jokes, but a good ep regardless. :D Maybe that's why the chick was a little put out, been a week since she shat on someone's chest.....you missed your opportunity.

Oh yeh. And obviously the workophilia. The two together makes me piss myself whenever they trot it out. The bumper chick, the assembly guys and instructor were perfect.

[smellytofu]

I'm not surprised by what the engineers say and the seriousness within the factory. It's not uncommon to find them counting the clock coz of the takt time they are under within each workstation day in day out.

I'm surprised that they did work on the car separately on a separate line like they did for the TRD/Prodrive setup they had on Australia (inherited product that landed on my lap post setup). But unlike Ford, they recycled donor parts and not threw them in the bin like the Aurion and Hilux.

Who was the bearded dude in the Quicksilver cap and no HiVis? Some kind of Aussie minder / translator or part of your crew?
