’m riding alongside Porsche GT boss Andy

Preuninger in a lightly disguised 2022 Porsche 911

GT3 prototype as we proceed through the gently

rolling farmland towns that surround Stuttgart.

This is not the coolest thing that I will do today.

We turn off the road and head into the parking lot of a

nondescript industrial building tucked away up a quiet

side street. There is no hint as to what resides here.

A single roller door opens as we pull up. Preuninger

guides the black-wrapped prototype into what looks

like a holding area. There’s another wall and another

roller door. “You want to see?” he asks.

What resides on the other side is a secret facility

stuffed to the brim with some of the most extreme

Porsche 911s ever built—cars that inspire enthusi-

asts and help inform the development of the next

generation of GT cars. I catch my breath as I antici-

pate what I will witness.

The outside door shuts, and the second roller

door scoots upward. There’s no wash of golden light,
