The body shop
The birthplace
The birthplace of every Porsche is the body shop. This is where the body shell is first produced. The Porsche plant in Leipzig has three body shops: for the Macan, the Panamera and the electric Macan. The body is built in four large sections from bottom to top. The substructure is created first. At this station, the vehicle receives its ‘birth certificate’: a transponder with a specific identification code. This contains all the details of the vehicle. In the subsequent assembly stage, the substructure receives the side walls and the roof. The third stage of the process chain completes the body skeleton with doors, bonnet and tailgate. Finally, an acceptance inspection of the vehicle takes place in the finishing line. Here, for example, joints and surface quality are carefully checked by employees. Once all quality requirements have been met, the vehicle is handed over to the paint shop.
