The striking new building is located in the Stuttgart suburb of Zuffenhausen, the home of Porsche for 50 years, opposite the head office of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.
With more than 5,600 square metres of exhibition space, Porsche says there will be about 80 cars and associated exhibits on display at any one time. The first exhibits include an original ‘11’ model, a 356 Cabriolet and the first prototype of the 924.
"In the last few weeks, we have comprehensively restored all the vehicles and polished them up for their use in the museum," said Klaus Bischof, head of the ‘Rolling Museum’. In addition to the exhibition vehicles, the small exhibits and show cabinets have also already been arranged.
As virtually all museum vehicles are also used on the road, Porsche says that the display will be continuously replaced by other exhibits. The new building will also feature the museum workshops, a shop, the Porsche archive, a restaurant, a bistro and an event area.
The Porsche Museum will be open from 9am to 6pm every day except Monday. Admission costs 8 Euros, with children under 14 admitted free when accompanied by an adult.
