Alcoa Automotive Structures
(AAS) has worked closely with
Ferrari on development of the
aluminum body structure
for the 360 Modena – just
launched at the 1999 Geneva
Auto Show.
The collaboration has also been
extended into manufacturing, with an
assembly operation inside the Scaglietti
Works in Modena, Italy. From extruded
components made in the AAS plant in
Soest, Germany; sand castings from Ferrari’s
manufacturing base in Maranello, Italy; and
sheet components made in Italy with Alcoa
auto body sheet, the high-performance
360 Modena body structure is produced
on a special line before moving across to
Ferrari’s final assembly production line.
An exciting assignment – especially
when it’s for a legendary carmaker, known
the world over for technical sophistication
and extreme performance.
Building aluminum frames at
the fabled Scaglietti Works.
