Here are some pics embedded from the above link, enjoy!


















^My personal favourite, the evolution of the Turbo.

Thanks for posting, can't wait. I think the grand opening is set for this weekend, almost 1.5 years late. I visited the 'old' museum in '97, only room for about 20 cars but still nice(plus, they were building 993s at the time ). Going to see the new museum in March, I was starting to worry that it wouldn't be open!

Very cool. Is it just me, or does the building look like the small shuttle ship from the original Star Trek TV series?

Thanks for posting. It is long overdue for opening. In the past the Porsche Museum has been pretty much a joke. I've been to the former museum several times over the decades and it was always pretty bad,--they just never had the room. This is incredible,--and about time!

I am thinking that I may go to Stuttgart later this year. One of my best friends moved to Berlin last year, and it would be a good excuse to visit him.

When I learn to accept flying as a safe mode of transportation I'll be there. Great pictures BTW

Thanks so much for posting the pics of the new museum. It looks absolutely incredible! I've never been to Germany, but this looks to be as good an excuse as any to get over there...
