Want to Tour a Porsche Assembly Plant?
It’s good to see that cars aren’t COMPLETELY constructed by machines these days. And to prove it (and promote the new Porsche Panamera) the German auto maker has reopened their Leipzig plant to tours.
Plant tours are free and can be booked online
Porsche has once again opened up its Leipzig plant to the public, allowing tours of the facility where the new Porsche Panamera is built.
Tours of the plant had been suspended for 8 months due to construction, as Porsche expanded the plant by 22,000 square meters to accommodate the increased production capacity required to assemble the new Panamera model.
Visitors are now permitted to experience the assembly of the Panamera at the Leipzig plant, located in the German state of Saxony, where the Cayenne SUV is also built. Tours are free and can be booked online at www.porsche-leipzig.com.
The Panamera is 4-door, 4-seat coupe/Gran Turismo model that will come with a couple of high-powered V8 engines, 400 hp for the rear-wheel drive Panamera S and all-wheel drive for the Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo which packs 500hp, as well as a 300hp V6 for the base Panamera. Porsche promises a hybrid version will follow sometime later. The Panamera was premiered at the Auto Shanghai event on April 19 and will go on sale in Europe starting in September.
