Matthias Müller, Chairman of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, says: "Our decision to develop the new Macan in Baden-Württemberg and produce it in Saxony means we have pledged ourselves once again to Germany as an industrial location and to the Porsche quality seal of 'Engineered and made in Germany.'" The company had opened the Leipzig location in 2002 for the market launch of the Cayenne. Matthias Müller: "In addition, the Panamera has been rolling off the assembly line since 2009 – a car as well as the Cayenne that likewise set a new benchmark in its segment. With the Macan, coming next is a super sports car among the SUVs, which has already generated great demand prior to its market launch on April 5."
