Porsche Classic Factory Restoration Center
Details were limited on the Porsche Classic Factory Restoration Center. However the collectability of classic Porsches has driven an entire submarket of parts, service and restoration business by Porsche themselves. Today most restorations are done by third parties. However, Porsche has increasingly provided the parts and capabilities directly. With this new center Porsche will look to provide turn key restoration services, leveraging their deep experience, parts availability and factory expertise.
Construction on the Porsche Classic Factory Restoration Center is expected to begin in 2021 as part of the “Phase 2” of the expansion along with the track expansion.
