Day 156: Arriving in Stuttgart: Porsche, 24hrs of Le Mans, and Flammkuchen. Oh and beer.

We arrived in Frankfurt early today and took the ICE train to Stuttgart for the start of our Lean Europe Tour. After getting sorted in the hotel, we grabbed a taxi to the Porsche factory, as it turned out that Porsche had arranged a car for our use. It also turned out to be a brand new model: the Macan Turbo. Smaller and definitely sportier than the Cayenne, it was a pretty plush drive.



We also stopped in at the Porsche Museum across the street, where they were showing live the 24hrs of Le Mans race. They were keeping the museum open for the entire race - free to the public - and they had some cars outside on display (along with the aforementioned Flammkuchen and beer):





Inside the museum were some very fantastic cars:






Back in the parking lot where our demo car was waiting for us, we spotted a return of a familiar name:


Yep, the Targa is back!


But let's go driving!!!
