Leipzig, Germany is better known for its historical landmarks, unique Art Nouveau architecture, world-famous art and cultural institutions, and for the famous Germans, men like Johann Sebastian Bach and Johan Wolfgang von Goethe who left their mark on this beautifully restored Saxon city.
Less known, except perhaps among car enthusiasts, is Leipzig’s more recent connection to Germany’s most popular sportscars.
Located in the city’s outskirts is another one of Leipzig's main attractions: Porsche’s state-of-the-art production plant and experience center.
Recently, Porsche held the Macan Technology Workshop, a full-day’s immersion in all the latest innovations that appear in Porsche’s next generation electric Macan compact SUV.
Since its debut 10 years ago, the Macan has become Porsche’s bestselling model along with the larger Cayenne SUV.
The new Macan EV to be released this year is Porsche’s second electric model after the Taycan was launched in 2019, though the new powertrain and battery technology co-developed with Audi appears for the very first time in the 2024 model.
