The architecture of the building echoes the principles of the Porsche architecture, which symbolises the character of the company and faithfully reflects its authentic achievements and products at the same time. Its unique shape has been chosen deliberately to set the museum apart from the typical Porsche Centres.

The Vienna-based team of architects Delugan Meissl is responsible for the design of the new Porsche Museum at Zuffenhausen. With their bold style, the Austrians came out winners in a competition against 170 teams of architects.

The dynamic shape of the museum building conveys the impression of the museum hovering ethereally above the earth and the ground level.
