One millionth Macan rolls off the line in Leipzig

The Porsche plant in Leipzig has produced its one millionth Macan.

Porsche states that the decision to manufacture the Macan at Leipzig was made in 2011, a choice which subsequently saw the site's assembly plant extensively expanded and developed into a full factory with its own body shop and paint shop.

The occasion was marked with a milestone anniversary Macan 4, finished in Frozen Blue Metallic and equipped with a Black and Chalk two-tone leather interior alongside adaptive sports seats, a GT sports leather steering wheel, augmented reality technology, and a panoramic roof.

The special car was handed over to its new owner at the Porsche Experience Centre Leipzig. Factory collection of new cars in Leipzig includes a test drive on the factory’s own racetrack in an identical model, allowing customers to get to know their new vehicle under the expert guidance of an instructor, to experience how it behaves at the limit.

The Porsche plant in Leipzig began production in 2002 as the second Porsche manufacturing site alongside the headquarters in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. The site is said to employ close to 5,000 employees, producing the Macan and Panamera models. The site also manufactured the Cayenne until 2017, as well as the Carrera GT from 2003 to 2006.
