Inaugurated in 2009, the Porsche Museum is a stern monument in the historic district of Zuffenhausen in Stuttgart (Germany), where the brand headquarters have been for more than 70 years.

From the outside, this building - designed by Austrian architect Delugan Austrian Elke Delugan Meissl  - seems to have mysteriously fallen from the sky. The 6500 square metres of  the structure, contains many cars including the unforgettable 917 Pink Pig, sad heroine of 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1971. It is these scenes which are shown in the clip below. (commentary in English)
