Taka-

I'm pretty sure they're open, well to a certain degree as far as what you can access.  Ferrari in Maranello obviously, Lambo in Santa d'Agata I think, or maybe moved to Bologna.  Forget.  Google.

We hit MB & Porsche whilst doing our whirlwind Euro tour in '00.  And of course der 'Ring muwahhahaha 8-).  A MUST DO.  We had too much touristy stuff going on in Italy to do F&L unfort.  Next time.

Munich (Audi / BMW) are further east from where we were in Stuttgart for MB & Porsche.  Der 'Ring was maybe a 2.5hr. (IIRC) WOT 120mph drive N by NW.  We ran there, 5 laps, and back in quick day trip.  We had come in via Austria and heading back to Paris after so going further east was out unfort.  Again, next time.

MB is literally a corner of the city.  We saw old museum only while traversing their massive grounds, and the new museum is supposed to be tits AND nipples - not sure where is now.

Porsche is in Zuffenhousen, a borough of Stuttgart.  Looks like a TINY college campus, and their museum is absurd - a 50x100' (maybe) hallway, but it's a must do regardless.  Some insane stuff inside of course.

DO IT

Mike-
I was approached by one of my friends about doing a car tour of Bavaria and northern Italy- do you know if the Lambo and Ferrari factories are open to the public? I imagine I'd have to arrange for a tour reservation, but if you happen to know.......

I would visit Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and if we could swing it, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche- I don't really know where Ingolstadt is in relation to Munich. I'd also try to visit the Nurburgring and the Stelvio Pass.

That would be an insane road trip, though. I'm sure someone on the list knows the deal........
