The National Geographic Channel Megafactories programme on the 991 ( where my 981 was also built) said that Porsche spent 200 million euro on the Stuttgart paintshop. Wonder if they spent the same at Leipzig ?
In answer to my own question:
The Macan is built at Porsche's newly expanded Leipzig facility. While it ends up on the same final assembly line as the Cayenne and Panamera, it starts in its own new body shop, paint shop and pre-assembly lines manned by 1,400 new employees. Porsche chairman Matthias Müller calls them "new workers building a new model in a new factory." Initial capacity is 50,000 Macans a year, a 30 percent increase in Porsche's annual vehicle output.
