    History

    Werk 1 – how it all started
    In 1938, the Porsche Design Office moved from Kronenstraße 24, in the centre of Stuttgart, to the newly constructed building in Zuffenhausen. Today, this is known as Werk 1. This is where automobile history was written. First with the pilot series of the future Volkswagen ‘Beetle’. And in 1939 with the forefather of all Porsche sports cars: the Type 64.
    Back to Zuffenhausen. The preparations for production get underway.
    As an American truck maintenance unit was housed in Werk 1, a hall was rented at neighbouring Stuttgart car body works Karosseriewerk Reutter & Co. GmbH, where the initial preparations for production got underway.
    Porsche Type 356.
    On 6 April 1950, the first Type 356 car was completed in Zuffenhausen. The first Type 369 was completed in this year. The expansion of the Zuffenhausen production sites also progressed rapidly: In 1952, the Porsche Werk 2 building complex, designed by renowned architect Rolf Gutbrod, was constructed. And so in 1956, the ten-thousandth Porsche 356 left production halls that were being continuously expanded and extended.
    Back to Werk 1.
    In 1956, we were able to move back into Werk 1. The Racing Department and Development Centre were located here until 1971 (when the Development Centre in Weissach was opened). In addition to this – alongside many other improvements – the sports car icon, the 911, was developed in Werk 1, superseding the 356 in 1964.
    Werk 1 experience.
    The conversion of Werk 1 in 2017 created a place that reflects the values for which Porsche typically stands: endurance, a sense of tradition and the spirit of innovation. Its exceptional architecture leads you on a thrilling journey through Porsche history. And the current expansion of the factory will allow you to experience a glimpse into the future of automobile construction.

    * 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.
