The car manufacturer’s main showroom, Porsche’s recently-opened Centre Friedrichshafen is a modern blend of dynamic lighting design and sleek architecture. A space full of reflective surfaces and brimming with that new-car smell, PCF invites potential customers and Porsche enthusiasts alike to view these iconic automobiles and treat their senses too.
