Leipzig Porsche Plant, anyone?

HI! We are scheduled to visit and tour the Porsche auto plant in/near Leipzig. Has anyone visited it? Is it worthwhile? What about the %26quot;taxi ride%26quot; on the test-track? Thanks in advance for response!

AlaskanMike, the Leipzig Porsche plant visit was very cool!

The plant is remarkable - they only assemble the beauties there (top ticket price of $500,000 for some of what we saw); the parts are manufactured elsewhere. If you are interest in manufacturing, as our friend with us was, it is a remarkable plant to tour. The tour guide was great; we four were alone for most of the tour. The lunch is fantastic - a first-rate meal. And best of all, the %26quot;taxi-drive%26quot; - which I highly advise you do BEFORE you eat! Imagine sitting in the front passenger seat with a highly trained test driver, doing 180+ mph around a test-track designed to replicate five of the world%26#39;s most notorious road turns. Outrageous! It was very cool. You wear a helmet and your glad you have it on! It isn%26#39;t cheap but it is worth it. Visit their website %26amp; then FAX with the program. By the way, Leipzig is a great city! We really enjoyed our three days there - stay in the Zentrum, the center. I hope you get to visit both Leipzig and the Porsche plant!
