The decision to go ahead with an additional production facility will assist Porsche's main factory in Stuttgart (home of the new 911 and Boxster) in meeting the rising global demand for its products.
"Due to the way things are in Stuttgart there is no easy way to expand our main factory. Over the next few years, we will be fully utilizing our own production capacity predominantly with the 911 model. We therefore looked for a partner for producing the Boxster,'' explained Porsche President and CEO Matthias Müller.
''The decisive factor in our choice was the great expertise of the workforce at Volkswagen Osnabrück. Our sports cars are in very good hands there. After all, we all have the same concept of quality. Osnabrück will become a part of our success story."
Incidentally, the first vehicle to roll off the line was a Guards red Boxster S with black soft top.
