What Porsche Leipzig does

Porsche Leipzig GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG (Volkswagen AG group) that operates two interlocking businesses from a single ~400-hectare site at Porschestraße 1, Leipzig, Germany: (1) a Porsche vehicle manufacturing plant producing the Panamera and the all-electric Macan, and (2) the Porsche Experience Center Leipzig (PEC Leipzig), a public-facing complex combining driving programmes, factory tours, gourmet offerings, corporate event hosting, and a 24/7 e-mobility fast-charging park. The company is registered at Amtsgericht Leipzig (HRB 16377, VAT ID DE813180207) and is led by Gerd Rupp (Chairman) and Ruven Weichert; Kristin Bergemann serves as Director Corporate Communications. The Experience Center also operates sub-brands including Carrera Café and Porsche Track Experience.

The core physical and digital infrastructure includes approximately 12 km of factory-owned driving tracks (an on-road circuit and an off-road track), the Porsche production lines for the Panamera and all-electric Macan, the Porsche Turbo Charging fast-charging park (12 x 350 kW DC + 8 x 22 kW AC stations, available 24/7 to all vehicle brands), and event venues comprising the Porsche Auditorium (capacity up to ~500, 660 m²) and the Gallery & Museum (capacity up to ~400, 960 m²), with a Christmas-gala capacity of up to 650 guests. A fleet of Porsche vehicles (Cayenne, Macan, 718 Boxster, 718 Cayman, 911, Panamera, Taycan) and motorsport-experienced instructors support the driving programmes. The digital layer is built on an in-house webshop for bookings and vouchers, integrated with the cross-Porsche Porsche ID (joint controllership with Porsche Sales & Marketplace GmbH under Article 26 GDPR), and consent-based web tracking via Google Tag Manager/Analytics, Microsoft Advertising, Meta-Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and SalesViewer.

Porsche Leipzig monetises its experience offering through per-booking fees for driving programmes (Co-Pilot, Pilot, Track Experience, Pilot Exclusive, Factory Collection), factory tours (Classic, Intensive, Family), and gourmet packages (Carrera Café, Pole Position Brunch, Carrera Lunch, Carrera Dinner); B2B event-location rentals with customised quotes from dedicated event managers; three-year gift voucher sales; usage-based fees from the public fast-charging park; and manufacturing revenue tied to Panamera and all-electric Macan production. Customer segments span individual Porsche enthusiasts, new-vehicle buyers using factory collection, corporate event planners, last-minute travellers at the Carrera Café, and EV drivers of any brand using the fast-charging park. Bookings flow through the PLG webshop (payments via PayPal, Klarna, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners Club, UnionPay, Discover), on-site booking, or dedicated B2B event management. The operating geography is single-site, domestic Germany, with international driving-licence holders accepted on driving programmes; voucher sales are restricted to the German-speaking webshop.
