insight into the various production
processes. These range from
engine assembly and the

Museum, where you’ll find a
remarkable range of Porsche
models from every era of our
history. A new Porsche Museum –

more historical interest and even
more of the Porsche experience.
For lunch, you can choose
from a three-course menu in our
exclusive guest restaurant.

home – which is sure to live long
in the memory.
