The Porsche Factory tour allows you to experience the Porsche production process up close – from the engine shop through the upholstery shops, to final assembly. The partially automated body shop operates on the basis of a model mix system, which means all variants of the 911 can be produced in any required sequence on only one production line. The multi-storey production set-up in the area of body and vehicle assembly is a further special feature underlining the unique character of the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen. The engines for all of Porsche's standard production vehicles are produced in Zuffenhausen, including the Cayenne and Panamera engines.

The new Porsche Museum stands on a conspicuous junction just outside Porsche Headquarters in Zuffenhausen. The display area covers 5600 square meters and features around 80 exhibits, many are rare and historical models. The original Porsche museum opened in 1976 in a side-road near the Porsche factory. It was a relatively small works museum with little parking space and it was only big enough to hold around 20 exhibits (in rotation). Porsche built the new museum as a kind of "rolling museum" with rotating exhibits from a stock of 500 restored cars, many in pristine condition and still in full driving order.
