Great pictures, I really need to make the pilgrimage for myself.

Very nice pictures, I must've taken 1000 when I was there! It was a truly amazing experience that I hope every Porsche enthusiast gets the opportunity to enjoy. I'm curious as to what was on display behind the Turbo S's on the rotating bases (if you're facing them like you were to take the pics) as when I went that area was sectioned off in preparation for the 918 exhibit (which was opening the week after I went, DOH!) Was there a 918 there?

Also, did you park in the underground parking garage? I started dying laughing out of disbelief when I rounded the corner and saw this staring at me:

There were also the Rothmans rally car, the actual gray GT3RS used on the cover of the brochure (same license plate) and other amazing cars parked in the garage like it was no big deal...guess they ran out of space upstairs?! :hilarious: I can't WAIT to go back again this year! Thanks again for posting your pics, it's got me fired up and my trip is 4 months away!

Incredible, I must go.

I was there on Friday, April 29th which was the second to last day of the "Porsche Exclusive" exhibit. That display included the Sport Classic, Yellow 964 Turbo S, Green 993 Turbo S, blue 993 Speedster, the red 964 flat nose Turbo S, a C4S Cab that people could sit in, that hideous gold 959 made for the Sultan of Brunei and a display showing all of the current leather/paint/wood/trim options available to customers. They were getting ready to take the exhibit down and put up the Hybrid exhibit which I would imagine was going to prominently feature the 918, but there were no signs of it while I was there. I was hoping to pick up a Porsche Exclusive book for our resident TS Porsche expert, ZAMIRZ, but they were not available yet.

We parked down below on the first level, and did not see anything exotic or crazy in the garage. The Rothman's Dakar 959 was upstairs displayed next to the Martini 911 SC RS rally car. When were you there? Which was your favorite?

My personal favorites were the 1948 "Number 1", the 917/30, the early 908 that looked sort of like a 550 spyder (I forget the model name) and of course the "Dream Team" lineup of 917's.

E is a rather large man.

I'll be going to the Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca in October. Porsche is expected to bring just about every significant model in their entire historical lineup to this event. I can't miss this..and Eric you shouldn't either!

I can't remember the exact day (went to Oktoberfest a day or so before making it to Zuffenhausen ;) ) but I know it was the end of September. As far as my favorite, I would have to say I had a few favorites:

My dad has a very cool painting of one of these at LeMans with the carnival rides in the background so it's always been a favorite:

But if I had to pick one, I would say this: (to give you guys a size reference I'm approximately 5'8" and 155lbs.)

The whole museum had me in awe honestly. It's hard to describe how awesome it felt to see such historic cars that have been the cars of my dreams up close and personal and with no barrier between me and them. Inspecting some of them closely made you wonder how sane the people were who drove them at the speeds they did!

Did you happen to go to the dealership across the street? There were some very cool cars over there when I wandered over including a yellow CGT as well as what appeared to be a Porsche mechanic in a black CGT taking it around the roundabout and out of the center; the sound of the exhaust was intoxicating! Also saw this on the autobahn leaving Stuttgart (possibly an employee headed home after a long day of work?) Absolutely GORGEOUS!

One thing I definitely want to do next time is see about a factory tour.

Wow, very cool Eric! Didn't you just want to camp out in there? I like the 904 and the green and white Carrera the best.

Beautiful shots.

I take it the 993 GT1 in the parking garage is the one in the OP's shots in front of the GT1-98?

Does the museum still have their white 993 GT1 roadcar or is it hidden away in someone's collection like the member on here who has the other one?
