The secret project: How Hemmingen became the home of the Porsche SUV

Once upon a time, a small town gave rise to a big automobile – and for some time, no one noticed a thing. Unlike all the other #porsche models, the Cayenne wasn’t developed in Weissach, but mainly in Hemmingen. With its population of 8,000, this town sits halfway between the Weissach Development Centre, which was established in 1971, and the headquarters in Zuffenhausen.

The history of the Hemmingen site began with the Cayenne. Today, about 700 employees of the Macan product line are currently developing the sports car manufacturer's first all-electric #suv there.

Hemmingen was a top-secret development site in the late 1990s. It has long since become an official #porsche site.

The heavily camouflaged prototypes of the "Colorado" project left Hemmingen for worldwide endurance tests like this one in Sweden.

A real #porsche on and off the road: the first generation of the Cayenne.
