In a place far far away
and a time long long ago, Porsche did indeed build cars by hand.

So did Mercedes so did Ford if you go back far enough.
Today's robot built cars are more consistent from car to car. And a totally hand built car is just too silly expensive for production.

The engine assembly part is especially interesting... Really old school two handed torque wrenches.
