Does anyone know if the museum regularly shows interesting 914s like the 8 cylinder or GT cars? Headed in March and want to see if there are any tricks to getting some close ups of unique versions....

So today we did a tour of the factory. They confiscate your phone before starting and therefore no pictures but we spent 2.5 hours with our guide and it was quite fun. He was younger and i am quite sure i know more about porsche in general but he was very knowledgeable on the operations side. He was a super nice guy.
Got to see the 911/cayman production line and what a gorgeous dance it was! They produce a little over 300 cars a day with 118 stations timed to no more than 2 minutes 48 seconds at each stop. Did not get to see the body dip and paint process but saw most of the entire assembly work. Automated robots follow the car to each station where technicians are busily, but not rushed, putting everything in place. Upholstry was very fun to watch and we also got a chance to see the boxster engine assembly line. Overall was fun to get right close to the action watching man and machine put together these amazing works of art. We saw so many colors and variants including the Dakar porsches. |
