Where better to experience the first moments with your Porsche than at the home of Porsche engineering.

Over 50 years ago, the first production Porsche was created by hand in a modest red-brick building right here in Zuffenhausen. From those humble beginnings, the factory has evolved into one of the most advanced production facilities in the world. Today, it’s home to a new generation of legends: the 911, the Boxster, and, of course, your Porsche.

Our factory collection programme offers a unique insight into the origins and making of your Porsche. Like your car, a visit to Zuffenhausen is an absorbing mix of past and future, history and innovation, heritage and creativity.

To take advantage of this exclusive opportunity, please inform your Porsche dealer when you place your specification. A collection date can then be arranged when final information regarding the build of your car has been confirmed. Your Porsche can be collected on any working day* (Monday to Friday) at a time that suits your requirements. The easiest way to travel from outside Germany is to fly to either Stuttgart or Frankfurt and then continue by train, taxi or hire car.

Please note that there are a number of formalities that must be completed when you take delivery of your car. Depending on your market, some local restrictions may also apply. For full details, please consult your Porsche dealer, who will also be happy to assist when it comes to planning your trip.

Your visit to Zuffenhausen is a unique opportunity to learn more about the origins of your Porsche.

Our factory tour offers a detailed insight into the latest production processes. These range from engine assembly and the preparation of upholstery, to the ‘marriage’ of powertrain, bodyshell and chassis components.

The factory tour is one of our oldest traditions, and is usually conducted by a retired member of staff. Each of our guides is a genuine Porsche enthusiast with a genuine passion for the marque.

On average, the tour takes around one-and-a-half hours to complete, and follows every stage in the creation of a Porsche.

Next, you can visit the Porsche Museum, where you’ll find a fascinating cross-section of legendary Porsche models from every era of our history. If there’s time, you can relax in the customer lounge or browse in the shop.

You can also enjoy a three-course lunch at our exclusive VIP restaurant.

The highlight of your visit, however, will undoubtedly be the moment when you finally take delivery of your Porsche. The keys will be presented by a member of the Factory Collection Team who will explain everything you need to know about the car.

Finally, you can take your place behind the wheel, and experience what it means to drive your own Porsche**. For the perfect introduction to the experience of Porsche ownership, why not combine your visit with one of the fascinating tours available from the Porsche Travel Club.

* Please note that collection is not possible during the factory shutdown periods.
