provide space for more than 500 young people at the start
of their career. It is slated for completion in the second

struction of a new engine plant for V8 engines.

with its own paint shop and body shell production. Series

on 11 February 2014. The expansion of the plant is the
largest construction project in the sports car manufacturer’s
history.
At the Weissach development facility, Porsche put a new
electronics integration center into operation in the summer

studio are currently under construction in Weissach. These
facilities will be ready for use in mid-2014. The company
