There is a torrent on racing underground with about 100 high res photos from there. Worth checking out. I thought the place looked sterile. Bland.

No zest like the ferrari factory.

I've got to agree. While the place looks nice and expensive, it's really quite boring.

Where's the heritage? All they've got a is a long hallway with with a trophy case.

It looks like a damn hospital.

You've got a strange definition of heaven. Their facility is really nice. But the only thing that bugs me, is they spent all that money, and they couldn't have built a parking garage instead of that giant surface lot? Still have to walk out to your car in the rain and snow.

It is pretty sweet, but bland. Heaven to some, yes.

They got their own fucking chef's. Fuck yeah!

i disagree

the simplicity is what makes it amazing

it looks like a hospital? but u know the pump out insane machines

i guess i think less is more, i dont want crazy colors or shapes or whatever for the sake of "Zest"

Less is also more in my book. I wasn't necessarily saying that they had to decorate or add a bunch of zany colors but to me it seems as if that place just lacks a soul.

Just take a look at where and how the Veyron's are made. I think that place has got plenty of personality in it and is still amazingly functional and beautiful.
