The last of its kind

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

It all began back in 2009. After a two-year project to expand the plant, the springtime saw a completely new model go into production: A luxury saloon combined with a premium sportscar – the #panamera.

After being launched onto the market, initially only part of the #granturismo was produced in #leipzig. The body shells were produced and painted at the VW plant in Hanover before ultimately being brought to the #porsche location in Saxony for pre-assembly and final assembly. Following in the footsteps of the Cayenne and the limited-edition Carrera GT, the #panamera was the third model to be manufactured in #leipzig. The Macan has since been introduced as the fourth model.

The #granturismo is popular throughout all continents

Dirk Kolar, Director Manufacturing at the #porsche plant in #leipzig, remembers this time well: “With the launch of the #panamera in 2009, we tapped into a completely new segment. The sports saloon has gone on to both define and inspire us”. It proved particularly popular in China and the USA. More than half of all the #panamera models produced ultimately found their home in these countries. However, the #panamera was also very well received among people in Germany.

Now, however, the last model of this kind has rolled off the production line. But this is no cause for sadness: The second generation of the #granturismo is now manufactured entirely at the plant in #leipzig – “and we are proud of every single centimetre.”, says Mr Kolar.
