Just found this on youtube by chance: Visit to the Porsche museum showing their transaxle exhibition (https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/company/...12478.html) including a behind the scenes tour. So far I am (only) at the 30 min mark, where they get to drive a 968 CS cab - yes, you are reading this right, the only one ever made.
Too bad I missed this exhibition, I could have easily gone when I visited my parents this summer. Oh well, at least there is youtube ...

This is a world's first: only few camera crews have been inside Porsche's "Heilige Hallen" before, and none of them had ever been allowed to move freely amid all those secret historic and future (!) cars. Back in march we had the great honor to do exactly that while shooting an exclusive documentary on Zuffenhausen's glorious transaxle history. We take you with us into the Porsche archives, the museum, their workshop and the Holy Halls near Stuttgart. This is uncensored footage of gems such as Porsche's secret Nardo prototype (a prospective Mercedes C111 "killer") or the mysterious Mercedes 500 E coupé that is not at all what it seems. We even drove a Porsche prototype and a homologation model ourselves and hope you enjoy the first ever fünfkommasechs video that is not solely about Mercedes :-)
Bonus points if you are German, since this is the language of the video and there is no translation ...
