Porsche museum

[komotar]

On our way back from Koln (Cologne) abouth two months ago, we stopped at the Porsche factory for a quick look. Made a few pics. Not the best ones, but you'll get a good general impression of the place....if you haven't been there...

It's very small but filled with great machines.... 8)

Ok, before I got in the building, I heard the loudest noise ever, not coming out of a racecar . . . I turn around and just miss the perfect photo opurtunity....but I still got a few...the car was loud as hell, and the driver was reving the engine at the lights....

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics, GT3 RS sounds like the god of thunder then :D

Definately a place every carnut should visit !!

[TT]

That 959 :love: :love: :love:

[gucom]

yeah its the concept version, as it says on the sign, it was shown to the public at the '83 Frankfurt auto show... you can also see the headlights aren't yet the more aerodynamic ones as on the final model, they're still upright but with a translucent aerodynamic cover. The paint job is amazing though :D

[martin100]

Yes the concept 959 is truly epic :twisted:

[salegosse]

Nice pics of fantastic cars !

Special thanks to you Komotar for those lovely Porsche pix from the official PAG museum, it's always a big pleasure for me to see those famous Porsche racing car stars. :D :good:

[Wutputt]

Nice!! It seems like you enjoy it, and that's the most important thing. Btw, have you been driving on the ring as well?

I was sooo dissapointed, I at least thought we would have a slow ride, just to expirience it a little bit, but the whole day was packed with driving the audi S and RS models, damn :lol:

[Wutputt]

But idd that must be dissapointing to be there and not being able to drive on it. Maybe next time ;)
