Watch precision engineering of Ferrari parts here in the UK

A British manufacturer of Ferrari aftermarket parts has released a video of its parts production in action.

GTO Engineering uses original drawings of components, modern machining and quality control to make engines, gearboxes, hoses and rubbers, wheels and suspensions.

The video, released under subsidiary GTO Parts, explains the attention-to-detail and meticulous quality in its aftermarket Ferrari parts production.

Highlighting the entire process to craft aftermarket parts, from CAD design, CNC machining, finishing and quality control, the new video also looks at GTO Engineering’s engine building suite as well as restoration of old parts. It also incorporates a range of Ferraris GTO Engineering has been working on and using components supplied by GTO Parts.

Managing director Mark Lyon said: “We started GTO Parts over 20 years ago. Back when I was restoring cars in the Nineties and early Noughties, I found a lack of aftermarket options for parts. It wasn’t as simple as calling a supplier to buy off-the-shelf parts, so I thought I’d respond to the market and start creating parts myself.

“We’ve come a long way since then, most notably is that rather than hand drawing parts or using the old ones as a reference, everything we do is drawn in CAD. This is then what we check against for quality control and have a specialist machine to ensure each part conforms to our standards.”
