Buckle up for a journey into the fascinating secret world of the car factory in this brand new three part series. James May goes behind the scenes to reveal the science, engineering and people that keep us all on the road, with access all areas to the MINI plant in Oxford where a car is built every 68 seconds. Building Cars will also step outside the factory to explore the evolution of global mass production, bust the myth that British manufacturing is dead and see how design becomes reality. Over three episodes James and the team discover exactly how a car is born. Real cars, real people and real time - a real television event. James May, Kate Humble and Ant Anstead are back broadcasting live from one of the biggest and busiest car factories in Britain. Think you know how a car is born? Think again. James races against the clock on the production line and embraces the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen. Kate gets to the bottom of how manufacturers test car seats for mass production and Ant heads to Germany to put his faith in a driverless car on the autobahn. Inside the factory, the team reveal what it takes to build a thousand different cars a day, and are live as a car that started being built yesterday drives off the production line for the very first time.
