Porsche Museum (Stuttgart, Germany)

The other main attraction in Stuttgart is the Porsche museum.  The Porsche museum was just as well assembled and maintained as the Mercedes museum, and yet was still different.  It represented the brand well, almost all of the cars were either sports cars or race cars.

The bridge between factories. Every Carrera 911 has passed through that bridge.

Before Porsche was Porsche, he worked for other manufacturers.

Some classic race cars.

The "speedsters".

Early 911's.

The first Carrera to be a 911 Carrera.

The first Carrera RS.

A completed F1 car for 1947.  The team which ordered them ran out of money just before delivery. Considered a technological marvel for its time.

The first Carrera (356, 911's came later).





This one is actually street legal.


1962: The only all-Porsche F1 car ever (the 1947 model was never raced).

The American exhibit. Celebrates the importance of Porsches sent to America.  The only market with enough money to buy Porsches after the war.
