Being a die-hard Porsche 911 fanatic, a trip last year to the Frankfurt Motor Show, where Porsche unveiled the Type 901 prototype 50 years ago, a side trip to Stuttgart suburb Zuffenhausen was a must. The goal? To finally see the new Porsche Museum, a place I consider a spiritual home of sorts.
The Porsche Museum is located adjacent to the old factory buildings of the main Porsche production facility. Getting off the S6 line of the S-Bahn railway, I hop out at the Neuwirtshaus/Porscheplatz station to see the impressive, modern façade of the Porsche Museum. I had seen the construction of the new building back in 2006 but the new structure was completed in December 2008, with doors officially opening in January 2009. I waited four years before I can see the fruition of the ultramodern building.
Since the 911 was celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Porsche Museum rolled out a special, once-in-a-lifetime display focusing on the 911 and all its variants, both race and road. I consider myself lucky in many ways but to be here at the Mecca of all things 911 and Porsche, and witness this special display was indeed divine providence.
