I have also copied and pasted Porsche's video descriptions below.

Create a compact SUV? No, we'd rather think outside the box. We've created what we always create: a sports car. Five doors, five seats and yet intimate with the road; boasting plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still powerful. More information on The new Porsche Macan. Life, intensified.
*Combined fuel consumption in accordance with EU 6: 9.2 - 6.1 l/100km, CO2 emission 216 -159 g/km

From the first components to the finished Macan, the latest member of the Porsche family is made in Leipzig. In accordance with advanced principles of modular manufacturing. Get behind the scenes in this clip.

Saw this video posted today showing full production process of Macan.. Very interesting...

Below is another video pointed to by @TXCanuck that shows how they do post production testing.

This is AWESOME!!!!!! An engineer's dream Going to show this video to my sons, both are engineering students (electrical, mechanical).

Very cool to see, thanks for sharing! Amazing how easily they seem to install some of these parts, but it can take us 5 times longer to take it off!

Wow...those are some impressive robotics! Imagine having to calibrate and QC them?!

I tried painting a Karmann Ghia once. Now I know the secret. Throw away the brush and just dip the car in the bucket.

Very cool! I was still wondering half way through if any people worked there.

And here I was thinking all your Macans were handmade like mine was. Sorry. :laugh:

Hmmm, not even one black auto worker? Very unlike Detroit.

Do we think someone is going to be fired for making this video? Doesn't look very Porsche-official to me.

Awesome video!!!

 

[TXCanuck]

Thanks for sharing. Very cool.

Same poster also posted this today. Not as exciting as the production video, but still...

Porsche hasn't made them by hand since the 356 model. Check out the first factory production film from about 1961.

The proving grounds video pointed to by @TXCanuck , shows how Porsche tests suspensions of new cars... You can see AS and non-AS models tested as well... (Updated original post with this as well)

Curious how much of the production process folks that did ED were able to see during factory tour...

 

[K-A]

That's amazing!

Though, someone tell Porsche QC that there's a giant hole on the roof of the white one being dipped!
