Porsche 911 Production in Germany

In 1978, I picked up the 928 in Zuffenhausen with my father after his previous 911. With a factory tour. I was given four halves of jam and cocoa at the reception in the morning - while I watched LeMans....I was nine years old, I'm not making this up. After that was the tour of the factory, where the 911s were still running in parallel. I was incredibly impressed. However, what is shown in this video is as technologically distant from my memories from 1978 as my golf game is from Mickelson's. Unbelievable.

Production methods a world away from the Zuffenhausen plant I visited as a UK Porsche dealer technician in 1981, (although the original building is still there). With far, far lower production numbers in those days, and much less complex vehicles, all engines built at the plant were run-up on a dyno before installation, and when the cars were assembled, all 911's, Turbo's and 928's were road tested around the streets of Stuttgart before sign off. Truly hand built, over-engineered vehicles, which is surely why many of those that have been cared for are still around.

I visited the plant in 2019, when I was working as a consultant for Porsches IT-division. The most incredible thing to see, was how small the actual plant where they build the 911s is. It is just the size of a warehouse. Of course they operate different factories, but all 911s ever build where build in their old main factory. Seriously tiny, when compared to behemoths, like the main VW factory at wolfsburg, for example.

An exquisite symphony,thank you 911,heart shape from NZ.

I am appalled that the new models don't let you see the engine. It is a masterpiece made to be admired IMHO

I just got my 992 GTS and they send you pictures of your car during assembly I actually recognise some of these locations from the photos of my car, super cool

It's an elaborate shoot and detailed editing. Wonderful.

Truly mesmerizing to watch the intricacy of piecing together a car...let alone a Porsche. All the parts and components brought together little by little to create a masterpiece of a car! love it.

This is a piece of art! Truly remarkable! Thanks for sharing this content with us.

If you watch the video, you'll understand why US vehicles would never pass Porsche's quality control

Incredible! Porsche perfection! How different from other production lines I've seen!

I can now appreciate how much time and effort goes into making each vehicle validating the suggested retail price. Great video!

I am speechless watching this and it’s clearly obvious why a car of this caliber cost 💲 as much as it does. It’s an engineering marvel.

I've been driving Porsche since 40 years, currently a 992 Turbo S. And I will never change the brand. Have fun with your electric lawn mowers like Tesla & friends...

I'm an engineer. Best 45 minutes of my week. Much better than 36 hours of Teams meetings.

I life there. Next is Mercedes Untertürkheim, 2. Porsche Zuffenhausen, 3. Mercedes Sindelfingen and last AMG in Affalterbach. Love all the cars.

This is 1st class material! Engineering is beautiful!

What a great feeling to observe your favorite Car come out of production line

Wonderful footage and than you for leaving the soundscape as it's part of the experience of the factory.

Amazing amount of manufacturing technology. Such precision and standardized manufacturing. PORSCHE 👍🏻
