I was at the museum a couple weeks back. They've put all the transaxle cars on little pedestals now so you can't fully walk around them. I was looking forward to walking around the drive display but only got to see the drivers side of it.
I actually started answering questions from the public about the model! Funny. Great to hear from you, Dan. You guys are creating a nice group of 944's up there in Maine.
Great video. I went in june this year too, and was clambering all over all the bits on the transaxle section, wondering why nobody else was , only to realise lots of markings on floor stating keep away from all the displays 🙂
Yep, I did the same thing. The plaque on the floor was pretty small and I didn’t notice it. In America, we would have roped off the display with stanchions! Funny thing is, two American girls were asked to get out of the Paris-Dakar 959 rally car. They were actually sitting in the car with the doors closed when the museum guys noticed them.
Why would you ever think porsche would need you to work on it for them ? 😅 Also, the whole thing will be brand new... They haven't re-zinc'ed anything 😆
BEST PORSCHES EVER MADE!

Really cool to see it all in the open and clean. This will probably help a few people put their cars back together. Thanks for sharing Tim.
That's great to see it that way, thanks for sharing!
Hey, you're welcome! Now go break something!
Damn.. I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER ONE.. (repeat 4x) hahaha
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. It’s a goal of mine to make it to that museum. I hope you got to see the original Porsche house too.
very nice
I believe that was made for a magazine advertisement in 85/86 showing the differences between the 944 and 944 Turbo.
I remember that ad, but it was more of an exploded view, i.e. unassembled.
Whoa, how awesome it that.

0:40 rusty bolt on the cam gear cover. there is a plug on the intake manifold right behind the throttle body that is not there in the production part
Yes, I noticed the rusty bolt too. Not sure what the plug would have been for.
Enjoy you stay in Germany.
