    Porsche Autostadt Pavilion in Wolfsburg

    On 12 June 2012, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG opened its new pavilion at Autostadt in Wolfsburg. The Sports Car manufacturer’s exhibition hall features a shimmering curved roof structure, manufactured from matt stainless steel and inspired by the silhouette of a Porsche.

    Matthias Müller, President and CEO of Porsche AG: “The building’s extraordinary design makes it one of a kind. It is also meaningful in symbolic and historical terms because it evokes the common roots that have bound Porsche and Volkswagen closely from the start and also bind our futures.”

    Since opening in 2000, Autostadt has modified and redesigned over 80 percent of its exhibitions and programmes. The Porsche pavilion marks a further milestone in Autostadt’s development, as it is the first new build on a site now covering 28 hectares. Otto F. Wachs, Managing Director of Autostadt: “As the leading global automotive destination and communication platform for the Volkswagen Group, we support the Group’s development and provide our guests with an insight into its brands, values and philosophy. The construction of the Porsche pavilion represents a new chapter in Autostadt’s history.”

    The structure’s innovative design makes it a particularly striking feature in its park and lakeland setting. It took around 10 months to build and is the product of close cooperation between Porsche, Autostadt and architectural practices Henn (architecture), HG Merz (staging) and WES & Partner (landscaping).

    In keeping with the long tradition of lightweight construction at Porsche, the monocoque construction adheres to the principle of a surface-active structure: the stainless steel roof structure is a self-supporting shell shaping the space within and the statics of the pavilion are relegated to the background.

    The interior curves focus visitors’ attention on the exhibition: 28 1:3 scale vehicle models occupy centre stage in the pavilion and take visitors on a journey through the development of the Sports Car brand, starting with the first Porsche 356 from 1948. Visitors can even try sitting in one of the current Porsche vehicles located at the end of this “fan space”. Thematic films, audio histories and media installations provide additional insights into the history and philosophy of the emotive Sports Car brand.

      * Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since September 01, 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. From September 01, 2018 the WLTP will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from September 01, 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.

      Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, irrespective of the testing method used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars, (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will therefore be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel consumption, electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.
