German sports car maker Porsche has expanded its R&D center at Weissach in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, with three new buildings.
The new buildings include a design studio with concept car construction facility, an aero-acoustic wind tunnel and an electronics integration center (EIZ).
The construction of the building cost more than $200m.
Porsche executive board chairman Matthias Müller said: "Intelligent engineering leads to success not only in motor vehicle manufacturing, but in architecture as well.
"That's shown by these new buildings: our creative developers are able here to work hand-in-hand even more methodically than before."
Staff at the new studio will be able to create the exterior and interior of Porsche vehicles under optimum conditions, the company said.
The new wind tunnel, located adjacent to the studio, enables day-to-day collaborations and reduce the time cycles between design and aero-acoustic development.
The EIZ brings together Porsche's electrics and electronics engineers, facilitating an interplay of all vehicle components, the company said.
