    Problem in Porsche Turbo Factory Department ?!

    Has Anyone heard that there was a fire in a Porsche Factory department which was producing 997 turbos..?? There is such a rumor here in Greece and for this reason I heard that all new cars will have 2-3 months delay..?!

    Any more info?!

    Do they always have to follow Maranello in Zuffenhausen?

    (speaking abouth the fire in the Ferrari factory shortly before the F430 was launched)

    I did an extensive search, nothing about a fire came up anywhere, even in local Stuttgart news. FYI

    I'm afraid your dealer is just making something up because he sold your allocation to someone else for a big fat markup. New car salesmen are just a step above used car salesmen, in other words not very high on the credibility pole.

    Mine TT has a completion date of March 23rd. I hope this is a joke? Aren't turbos produced on the same assembly line as other 911's, boxters, etc? There is no turbo section? A fire will effect all Porsches going down that assembly line. Highly unlikely rumor (I hope)?

    There is a major difference between Maranello and Zuffenhausen!

    In Maranello the cars catch fire. In Zuffenhausen the entire factory does
