The finished cars are transported via a lift to the final stage of the production process – final assembly. Every vehicle undergoes thorough inspection here and is prepared for its first trip.

At the first station, the vehicles' fuel tanks are filled. At the same time, power-steering fluid and window-cleaning fluid are poured into the respective tanks and the information stickers are attached. Following noise testing on the shaking roller, on which three different road surface conditions can be simulated, the vehicles are transported on to the axle alignment station.

An automatic chassis identification facility facilitates setting of the camber and the track within narrow tolerances. The headlights are then adjusted and the electronic equipment such as the navigation and telephone systems are checked for correct functioning.

After checking these functions, a driving test is carried out on the test stand. Emissions, handling and braking are tested and recorded here by means of a simulated 5 to 6 km drive under alternating conditions on rollers.

Inspection measures carried out at other stations include visual inspection of the underbody, piping and cabling, checking of torque and screwed connections, a check for leaks and other finishing work on the finishing line. A blow-nozzle test stand to simulate air flows enables detection of even the most minimal wind noise according to various weather and traffic conditions.

After final checking of the paintwork and cleaning, the vehicles await dispatch at so-called "count point 8". Extensive driving tests and quality inspections are additionally carried out to corroborate all the assembly and test steps.

A new Porsche is born.
