Porsche has built a new wind tunnel in its central R&D Center in Weissach. Significant improvements of this wind tunnel over the existing one include augmented ground effect simulation technologies, increased wind speed and suitability for aeroacoustic testing. Beyond this, the new wind tunnel is part of an integrated building complex, also comprising of a new automotive design facility and extensive model workshops. The present publication describes the fundamental ideas driving this concept, as well as technical key features of the new wind tunnel.
