About

The museum’s permanent exhibition, located in a historic 1904 factory building, showcases classic and contemporary racing cars, from the early Porsche 356 to modern Formula One machines, alongside interactive displays such as a driving simulator and an Audiobox that lets visitors hear engine sounds.
