For those that have picked up their car in Zuffenshausen, do you have any suggestions for a great euro delivery? Seems like arrival in the morning makes sense since the whole delivery process is estimated to be about 5 hours. The Graf Zeppelin Hotel that was recommended by my dealer is across the street from the train station. Is it reasonable to take the train from the airport to the hotel. Porsche provides transportation from the hotel to their facilities.

What regions did you drive through after taking delivery? What time of year was it and how loud did you stay? Any crazy weather that was not appropriate for the supplied tires? They will, if you request, temporarily attach the front plate instead of “drilling directly into the front bumper.” That sounds good.

Anything else that might be helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Arrive the day BEFORE your delivery date. It gives you a chance to get over a bit of jet lag, and allows for any problems or delays during your flights to your delivery city. Check out the European Delivery forum on RL. As I dont know if you’ve been to Germany and Europe before, making your way by car, I don’t know what to recommend to you. I lived in Europe for 4 years and had travelled to Germany many times over the last 40 years. I made list of things I wanted to do or see, and put myself in the capable hands of Sven Teuber of Fastlane Travel. They created a great itnerary including all hotels and special arrangements. Keep them in mind.

I will do both. Didn’t even know that there was a euro delivery forum. Thanks

Thank you for the offer. I will do some homework and might take you up.

Do people recommend Leipzig or Zuffenhausen?

Is the track time worth the extra drive South to more attractions?

I always wanted to go to Lake Como, maybe there are some good drives form Leipzig that people would recommend?

Thanks

I have been in Germany and the region a few times but I have not driven around. I will likely be contacting Sven as his name has come up a few times. Although I have to ceonsider if I want to be tied down to an itinerary. Thank you.

IMO, if you are picking up a Porsche Sports Car in Europe, you should, the first time, do Zuffenhausen. It's the home of Porsche. You'll see the assembly line your car was on. You can spend the afternoon after your ED in the Porsche museum. (Note answer to one of the OP's questions.) You can't do any of those in Leipzig.

Do your second ED in Leipzig...
