Porsche Dominates IAA Show in Munich with Massive 911 Sculpture
Porsche has made a grand statement at this year’s IAA show in Munich with a colossal outdoor display shaped like a 911, showcasing a blend of contemporary and vintage automobiles within its impressive confines. Spanning an expansive area of 0.2471 acres (1,000 square meters), the exhibition is a sight to behold.
For visitors seeking a unique photo opportunity, a dedicated photo box allows them to capture a picture with the gigantic 911 sculpture. Alternatively, Porsche offers the services of hostesses who take Polaroid photos of guests, providing a tangible memento of their experience.

The focal point within this incredible installation is the debut of the 911 S/T, showcased for the general audience. Only 1,963 units of this model will be produced, a number honoring the 911’s inaugural year. As a high-performance road-oriented vehicle, the 911 S/T combines key features from the GT3 Touring and GT3 RS models. Weighing a mere 3,056 pounds, it is the lightest iteration of the 992-generation 911. Powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine generating an impressive 518 horsepower, this vehicle boasts a six-speed manual transmission. Achieving a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph, the coupe offers breathtaking performance.
Also on display is the awe-inspiring Mission X concept. Porsche aspires for it to become the fastest car to navigate the Nürburgring Nordschleife if it enters production.
Adding to the excitement, a fleet of Taycans awaits eager visitors, allowing them to experience a test drive of this innovative electric model. Porsche has also brought along its e-bikes for people to ride and explore.
Porsche enriches the IAA show with two captivating presentations on its main stage. “Brave New Love” showcases the brand’s latest advancements and innovations, while “911 Love Stories” celebrates the iconic 911’s 60th anniversary.
“This striking sculpture symbolizes the multitude of stories and experiences shared by Porsche enthusiasts, fans, and customers, all of whom have played a pivotal role in shaping the iconic image of the 911 across the globe,” stated Ragnar Schulte, Head of Experiential Marketing at Porsche.
Just ahead of the IAA show, Porsche pulled the wraps off the 2024 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, which serves as a refreshed model replacing the Turbo in the lineup. Equipped with a hybrid-assisted twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, it delivers an astounding total output of 729 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. With this level of power, the Cayenne can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 183 mph. The standard suspension includes a two-chamber, two-valve adaptive air system, and rear-axle steering is available as an option. Starting prices for the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid begin at $148,550 or $153,050 for the coupe variant.
