The New Porsche Museum

[Gregster]

New Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. The 5600 square metre cathedral of all things Porsche opens on 31 January 2009 and cost the Zuffenhausen manufacturer nearly €100million (£90m) – thought to be nearly twice the original estimate.

The old museum contained just 20 of Porsche’s collection of 300 significant cars, but the new facility can accommodate over 80. Most of the vehicles are kept in full working order – indeed the museum was designed so that the cars can be fired-up in situ. The landmark Porsche cars in this ‘Rolling Museum’ are active on various events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed, meaning the displays will constantly change.

Nice building. But that's pretty expensive real estate! Works out to about $2 million Canadian for the floor space under each car.

I want to visit the souvenir shop there. They have tons of stuff that you can't get anywhere else.

Even if they do make flammable SUVs I still respect Porsche's racing history and the whole 911 thing is way cool.

I want the tractor! So then I would be able to go to PCA/Rennsport events because I would technically own a Porsche.
