Recently my friend +Jonny Lieberman flew over to Germany to build an AMG V8 6
Jonny went to the AMG factory in Affalterbach to build one of the lovely 6.2-liter V8s that go into high-performance +Mercedes-AMG models and it was captured on video. A few years back I went to nearby Wixom, MI to build a supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V8 for a Chevy Corvette ZR1

After watching the +Motor Trend Magazine video I see that the build process is pretty much the same as what you'll find at the GM facility or the special line Ford has at its Romeo, MI engine plant for Shelby GT500 engines. Each of these marvelous pieces of machinery are built by individual technicians who affix a plate with their name at the end of the line.
