New Porsche Museum to be opened on 31 January 2009

Exclusive restaurant and conference areas complement the exhibition of
historic vehiclesStuttgart. In the new Porsche Museum the final preparations
are made for the opening on Saturday 31 January 2009. At last, now that the
scaffolding has been removed, it is possible to see to the full extent the
bold architecture of the building at the head office premises of Dr. Ing.
h.c. F. Porsche AG in Zuffenhausen: The 5,600 square metres of exhibition
space are supported on just three so-called cores of reinforced concrete –
hence just seeming to hover in space. Inside the building the majority of
approximately 80 exhibits are already in place.

In the other areas of the new building – amongst them the museum workshops,
the museum shop, the Porsche archive, an exclusive restaurant, a bistro and
the capacious event areas – a team of experts are busy putting the finishing
touches. Three days after the ceremonial opening, which takes place on
Wednesday the 28 January 2009, the doors of the new Porsche Museum will be
flung open to welcome the first visitors. On a daily basis, apart from
Mondays, the exhibition can be viewed for an admission price of eight Euros
(reduced price: four Euros). Children up to the age of 14 get free admission
when accompanied by an adult.

The restaurant on the second floor – which has both a view through the glass
facade onto the Porscheplatz as well as through the glass partition into the
exhibition itself – has its own separate entrance and is also open at hours
different from those of the museum itself.
With the new museum and its range of catering facilities additional capacity
for conferences, company and private events in exceptional surroundings will
come into being. We have already received hosts of inquiries.

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And
you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think,
"Okay, this is the limit." As soon as you touch this limit, something
happens and you seddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind
power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well,
you can fly very high. ~Ayrton Senna da Silva
