The Phaeton is still being built for international markets. It was only pulled from the US market in 2008. I believe it also produces the Bentely Continental as well.
Great Video, German Engineering at it's best. But one thing, the glass-tower is not unique- in Wolfsburg, heart of Volkswagen, we have two of them in the Autostadt. The Autostadt is like the "3D visiting card/ business card" of Volkswagen. You can also take a tour through the manufacturing in the Volkswagen Werk in Wolfsburg =)
and that's why these cars cost so much! They could never use this type of system for a high production model. Although, I must say that I feel like a caveman for being awestruck by the amount of technology I have never seen before.
Now, I am really impressed with this plant! I used to see that storage building on pictures but never knew how hi-tech the whole plant was. By the way, if German cars ever were to become like what happened to Nokia, then they should worry by Elon Musk's "iphone"
@BasketBoffalora already exist volkswagen let design the golf 1 by a very famous italian designer Giorgio Giugiaro. he designed several cars for volkswagen
@MrH4rper Absolutely correct and I've owned several of the absolute worst as well as two Volkswagens which, though well built, were very poorly designed. One caught fire in the rain because of a wiring design defect [connectors carrying high mechanical and electrical loads without support], the other expired at 92,000 miles in spite of careful maintenance and gentle driving because of inadequate oil control and poor cooling system design.
Could have guessed! It's a car for like $100k++ that is made there .. And it would be a nightmare to get one to the shop to change the engine for example. Nothing today is ment for the aftermarket. It sucks!!
Those are VWs that would like to be BMWs. Don't get me wrong: the Phaeton is a fine car. The only problem is that it has no potential customers and VW lost millions of euros in this project
It is impressive but this seems to be an assembly plant. No casting No forging No machining No stamping I would like to see that part of the operation.
It also means Germany can be more productive and can afford more unemployment benefits/ free education to mitigate the effect of lost jobs. You can't really blame technology when China will gladly take your jobs at 10% of your wages. Technology is the solution.
@tubbyboy1985 i think you should worry about romania you are the ones not doing well at the moment and we are helping greece what else should we do????? trust me germany will just do fine in the future
@tubbyboy1985 trust me eastern and southern europe are not our whole economy and we are the one that give them the most money and the reason why we buy there shit is because they NEED to sell it ans we will make new JOBS by buying their stuff and developing it
@tubbyboy1985 u know eastern europe isnt germanies economy...... and i asked u what we should do to help greece we are already giving them the most money by far in europe if u dont like then let romania pay the next billions.
@CorticalVortex its funny that an american says something like this about a german car factory. in general, americans build the biggest crap cars out of plastics
@DJTEVAdotCOM lay off the drugs - the cracks are showing in Toyotas and Hondas with endless recalls of millions of cars. And resale value of Japanese cars in the US is falling fast.
This factory looks amazing
One of the best factory building, best engineers, best robot, best cars and ultimate perfection.
German standard

I am not a German, but I am crazy about Germans they the best engineers and smartest people on the planet! God bless Germany!
But yeah. this is amazing technology, everything feels so high tech.
I have a 545i. I'm more impressed with a Passat I just drove yesterday. VWs are really something great.
I love those cargo trams!
Great Video, German Engineering at it's best.

impressive, cutting-edge thinking and execution.
You like vw visit autostadt wolfsburg it's amazing
very appropriate considering that germany makes the most and best cars ever
I enjoy hearing German people say "I didn't used to this".
I was there an watched how the workers built the cars..
and its so fucking amazing!
interesting, I think they pulled it from the Canadian market as well.
Electronic Engineering at its very best......Long Live Germany
Are those BMWs or Volkswagens?
Oh how I love german engineering.
Is this for show or actually an effective factory?
@tubbyboy1985 ever thought about bout the americas (north and south) and asia ?????
Can someone tell me how they shape the metal so that it's so curvy? As far as I know, you can't bend metal like plastic...
ain't no car like a german car. germans can't do shit, but they are by far the best car builders!!!
Hahaha, at 0:48 the woman sais, "ja, wir sind nämlich mit einem Pferd gekommen", which means, "Yeah, we came here on a horse" ^^
country of mechanical engineering and machines , best industry ever , tools & cars & etc...
'
this building on the background is a berlin wall between east and west germany
and that's why these cars cost so much! They could never use this type of system for a high production model. Although, I must say that I feel like a caveman for being awestruck by the amount of technology I have never seen before.
It also feels like a place where your part of the experiment. hehe.
Where is all of the welding done?
I wonder if the plant in Mexico offers this service? ;)
Not sure if audio is off, or over-dubbed...
And less room for error, and better functioning vehicles, and less worker liability, and more jobs for robotic engineers, etc.
Huh, looks like a space-saver.
Good idea.
Idk if its voice overs. They audio and video are just off from each other.
Now, I am really impressed with this plant! I used to see that storage building on pictures but never knew how hi-tech the whole plant was. By the way, if German cars ever were to become like what happened to Nokia, then they should worry by Elon Musk's "iphone"
@BasketBoffalora already exist volkswagen let design the golf 1 by a very famous italian designer Giorgio Giugiaro. he designed several cars for volkswagen
@nmgncross not to mention other stuff, such as tools and tooling steel. guranteed quality.
That makes sense, they never got to the moon.
I like how you mix engineering and religion
love that the guy dubbing has a german accent even though it doesn't make any fucking sense why
the day is not far off , when they will make cars like street food.
Watch your burger. - If you get it .
@tubbyboy1985 of course somebody from england has to say that
You should see the Wiesmann factory :D
@MrH4rper Absolutely correct and I've owned several of the absolute worst as well as two Volkswagens which, though well built, were very poorly designed.

"wisible". love it.
they are good at doing things systematically...
I'm proud to drive a Golf
I love to hear Germans pronounce ANYTHING in English.
"Ze end of ze vorld!!"
Automatic cars factories in Siem Reap City area
The bug was designed by Porsche 1935
What about the fluids?!
Could have guessed! It's a car for like $100k++ that is made there .. And it would be a nightmare to get one to the shop to change the engine for example. Nothing today is ment for the aftermarket. It sucks!!
thanks
Aah deswegen kann man stolz darauf sein Deutscher zu sein : )
oh my god thats futuristic
I want to live in Germany.
What is car
They should work more on improving their car quality and less on pretty factories.
Those are VWs that would like to be BMWs. Don't get me wrong: the Phaeton is a fine car. The only problem is that it has no potential customers and VW lost millions of euros in this project
hi i m from germany and what the hell are restrooms ???
That's an old bug, but not original. The original had a T bar down the back window.
It is impressive but this seems to be an assembly plant.
No casting
No forging
No machining
No stamping
I would like to see that part of the operation.
@manojsm87 DAMN STRAIGHT!
Germans, no wonder all the mad scientists have German accents.
@gnossticc If loving Germany makes a person an asswipe, then you are correct. But I love America too, and that makes me a doubly big asswipe.
das auto
It also means Germany can be more productive and can afford more unemployment benefits/ free education to mitigate the effect of lost jobs.
You can't really blame technology when China will gladly take your jobs at 10% of your wages. Technology is the solution.
thanks :D
How about Finnish?
Both.
Omg cool
@tubbyboy1985 i think you should worry about romania you are the ones not doing well at the moment and we are helping greece what else should we do????? trust me germany will just do fine in the future
Isn't '-.-' a clear enough sign that I'm being sarcastic?
zing?
I think he means people who speak english.
thats what i call german engineering!!...
@umsvenska cuz us Americans are "behind the moon"
The dude that explains the Magnet robots Sounds like zeeee most evil doctor alive
well this ain't their Mexico plant...the only thing VW needs to do is make it as reliable as the Japanese...
@tubbyboy1985 trust me eastern and southern europe are not our whole economy and we are the one that give them the most money and the reason why we buy there shit is because they NEED to sell it ans we will make new JOBS by buying their stuff and developing it
Says Borat from Kasachstan..
wow isnt Dresdon the town that got bombed the shit out of them in ww2? Theyve come a long way
You don't say! Your sarcasm detection system is broken -.-
Nice, but looked more like a show rather than productive and efficient car producing.
drive it one mile and it will all be dirt and grime
@tubbyboy1985 u know eastern europe isnt germanies economy...... and i asked u what we should do to help greece we are already giving them the most money by far in europe if u dont like then let romania pay the next billions.
it's a weak strain of epilepsy
I wonder how a chinese car factory looks like
WOOW
as cool as this is, all this automation means less jobs in the manufacturing industry and more people out of work.
waw!
That they are smartass copycats ;-)
what?
That they were the first ones to invent paper, guns, compass and everything in antiquity? yea, smart copycats =)
it's dub
He is not english...

They make great cars, but their lips don't move properly!
Maybe it's because he's German....
