Yeah it's a bit long but informative

I've watched it several times.


Very, very interesting.

I used to work with several people involved in the series 1, and they said many of the scenes in the film from the car's development were not actually filmed originally, but recreated for the film crew later. This explains why there are some shots of discussions about the styling clay development when there are sketches of the finished car visible in the background and some of the seemingly akward meeting discussions.

Thanks for posting, what a great documentary. I really enjoyed how they went into good detail for the duration of the development, and also the thoughts going into the initial philosophy of the car.

I was figuring many of the scenes were reenacted, the phone conversations were conveniently recorded and seemed forced/scripted. Nevertheless, its the story that matters, not the acting.
