The Porsche Museum by Delugan-Meissl opens today

Stuttgart (Germany) - The car manufacturer Porsche will open a new museum to the public in Stuttgart on Saturday, which, according to DPA, resembles a spaceship or a predator due to its futuristic appearance. The AP agency called it a monument to German engineering.
    Engines, interactive screens, milestones of the company, and mainly 80 mirror-polished cars including prototypes and icons, such as the now legendary model 911, await visitors here.
    Fans of this car manufacturer can see the 550 Spyder model, which became fatal for American actor James Dean in 1955. The Porsche 917, popularized by Hollywood star Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans (1971), and the 928 model, which actor Tom Cruise drove in the comedy Risky Business (1983), are also not missing.
    The futuristic building, designed by the Vienna-based architectural studio Delugan-Meissl, is supported by three concrete pillars. AP noted that the building seems to float above the surrounding industrial environment.
    According to DPA, the construction cost 100 million euros (nearly 2.8 billion crowns). The structure of the museum consists of 6000 tons of steel, which is almost the same amount used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
    The museum was originally planned to be opened in 2007. On Wednesday, Porsche officially presented the building, and it will finally open to visitors on Saturday.
