Wow! A stunning four minute video that takes us behind the scenes of the Porsche factory in Leipzig in Germany where thousands of robots (and some humans) come together to manufacture 160,000 vehicles a year.

The capital intensity of manufacturing is vivid and impressive - but so too is the human capital that lies at the heart of the design and testing process.
