description for (mega factory) The first factory is in Landshut, in the heart of German Bavaria The first cast magnesium composite crankcase in the automotive industry, making it the lightest six-cylinder crankcase in the world. The second plant in Munich, Germany receives the lightweight crankcase and assembles a 3.0-liter, 255-horsepower V6 engine. The powerful German engine is then shipped to a third plant in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, USA. The latter plant is at the forefront of environmental innovation as it is the first A car factory in the world recycles methane gas from decomposing garbage to provide energy. Now we move on to the Z06 Corvette, which is the fastest and most powerful Corvette ever built. Visit the Corvette factory in Balling Green, Kentucky, the only site in the world where the Z06 was built from scratch in 36 hours. The materials used to make the body of a sports car are more technologically advanced than the materials used to make a racing car. Each engine in the Z06 is hand-assembled by a single worker and the sports car's body is carefully sculpted to be lightweight. It is the most aerodynamically efficient Corvette car, as it covers half a kilometer in less than 12 seconds at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour. All of these parts make the Corvette Z06 a fierce competitor in the world of sports cars, as it exceeds most cars in terms of performance and handling ability. Watch the massive landmark movers race against time to make the delivery mission within the deadline. Watch giant landmark movers navigate dangerous roads, battle thunderstorms and race against time to complete the delivery mission within the deadline. Meet Transporters of a Different Kind From a lighthouse to a steam train, these teams take on the challenges of relocating huge landmarks and overcoming massive obstacles along the way. We begin with a perilous rescue operation in which a team moves a lighthouse off a cliff on Nantucket Island before the crumbling cliff collapses, and specialists move homes threatened by a mine collapse in a Swedish town. It is then ordered by a British team from Bloemfontein in South Africa to Glasgow where it was manufactured 60 years ago. Since the Transport Police announced that the truck was unable to transport such a load 600 miles towards the port of Durban, the team had to find an alternative plan. During the following transportation operation, Ancient Egypt tells the story of one of the largest transportation operations in history: Relocation of 20 of ancient Egypt's best temples moved from the rising waters of the Nile River in the 1960s. To reinvent the methods used, pioneering skeleton movers are trying to cut and reassemble a sandstone model of Rameses. A Blizzard follows two teams of movers as they battle extreme weather to move two massive wooden buildings. A cabaret in Manitoba and a historic farm and barns in Virginia. Then in Snake Country, teams attempt to relocate a historic 300-ton ranch in Texas and a two-story dream home in Seattle. Finally, transporters hope to carry two huge and valuable historical monuments to two new sites. The Morio Hall building, which weighs a thousand tons, contains brick walls that are 4 layers thick and very fragile. Will it hold up during its transportation? In Vancouver, we watch the dismantling and transport of a Lockheed Loadstar along a saddle road.
