Boxster/Cayman Production Leaving Finland, Moving to Austria
July 17, 2008
Porsche has announced that beginning in 2012, Boxster and Cayman production will move from Valmet Automotive in Finland to Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
Valmet has been building Boxsters since 1997, and has produced over 200,000 Boxsters and Caymans. As with Valmet, Porsche will still build the engines and transmissions in Zuffenhausen, Germany, and ship them to Magna Steyr.
Magna Steyr already produces convertible roof systems, bodywork components and other components for Porsche, and they have contracts to build the upcoming MINI SUV, Aston Martin Rapide, and Peugeot 308 RC Z coupe.
