Final assembly of a car takes about 1 day (modern assembly lines take 20-40 hours, and Porsche is most likely 30+ hours), but that is assuming you are starting with a fully painted body, completed engine, etc. Assembly of all completed parts would likely take 2-3 weeks.

Also in regards to the previous answer, to gauge reported numbers that come off the assembly line does not give a good gauge since it doesn't say when those cars went on the assembly line (if you put seven cars an hour on the line every hour, and it took them 1 year to reach the end of the assembly process, they would still come off the assembly line at a rate of 7 cars/hour, even though assembly took one year)!

From a fully painted shell to a roller out the door it takes 55 minutes. (997)

This is due to their Just In Time (JIT) manufacturing process.

Engines take an hour and 25 minutes to assemble (for the 997)

These were the numbers briefed on the factory tour, and from my own observations, it seems very close. They take a 5 minute smoking break each hour so figure one car winds through the assembly process every hour.

Figuring it the full route stamping parts out and making seats and such, leather forming eh it takes a while. Might as well add in shipping of parts between plants

All of this "assembly line" and "manufacturing process" talk is pure speculation. I think Riad's explanation makes the most sense.

listen, strange women laying about in ponds ditributing swords is no form of manufacturing, I mean if some wattery tart tosses a sword at me it doent make my car better

ivangene

5 minutes of that are on filling up the water and burping it



not all air-cooled guys think 996's are crap....just most of us

easy, I am joking

wyovino

Let's not quibble about who manufactured what.

ivangene

Riad

So they must use elves you're saying? This could be true.
