Default Photos of Cut Away car at Porsche

When we took a tour in Europe in '05 one of our stops was at Porsche. At the dealership across the street from the factory they had a 996 Turbo Cab cut away car. I don't know if anyone else has posted these photos but in case not I'll share them now.

The first will be a test as I don't know how small I'll need to reduce them to be able to post.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting the pics.

IIRC, there was an article written about the factory staff who do this work....can't remember which magazine. Very impressive stuff.

Wow, cool pictures. I was wondering how the air inlet on the side of the car worked and now I know. Thanks for posting.

The Germans are big on cutting away things to see whats inside. Mercedes displays a lot of cut away engines and drive train parts.
Porsche has most of its cars drawn in cut away view posters which are for the dealer showrooms. You can probibly find your cars poster on ebay. ( I collect em)
When I went to porsche they had a cut away 959. Which was much more elaborate than this 996. How about the guy whos got the job to stand around and buzz these cars apart all day?
