The open hood Weekend at the Porsche Museum

Where the bonnet would normally remain closed, this weekend offers some fascinating insights: From 30 October to 1 November 2026, the Porsche Museum will present selected racing and sports cars with their bonnets open. Visitors can discover technology, design and extraordinary vehicle architecture from an entirely new perspective. Short guided tours and a family programme featuring a Carrera racetrack and Tom Targa round off this special museum experience.

Forever Young. Celebrating Transaxle

With “Forever Young. Celebrating Transaxle”, the Porsche Museum marks 50 years of a sports car era that still stands for clean lines, progress and innovation today. Staged presentations in the museum, featuring changing pop-ups and fresh perspectives, convey the spirit of the 1980s: a time defined by technological advancement, stylistic freedom and cultural impact. Neon colours, design and the zeitgeist merge into a journey back to the future—turning transaxle into a defining attitude for a generation.

Look forward to two days dedicated to the passion of Porsche Transaxle models: At the Transaxle Meet, drivers, enthusiasts and owners of the Porsche 924, 928, 944 and 968 gather at the Porsche Museum. Alongside a wide variety of vehicles and an exciting supporting programme, the event focuses on bringing together and connecting the Transaxle community.

Special Exhibition “75 Years of Porsche Motorsport"

Courage, pioneering spirit and an uncompromising will to win: for around 75 years, Porsche has been writing motorsport history. It all began in 1951 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, when a factory-prepared Porsche 356 SL, entered by a customer team, claimed a class victory – the starting point of a unique success story.

The special exhibition “75 Years of Porsche Motorsport” invites visitors on a journey through time: from the very first racing kilometres and legendary victories to the present day of international motorsport. Experience the spirit that continues to drive Porsche – on and off the race track.
