Ferdinand Porsche Erlebniswelten fahr(T)raum
The development of the automobile had a lasting impact on the 20th century and one of the pioneers was Ferdinand Porsche. The Ferdinand Porsche Erlebniswelten fahr(T)raum in Mattsee, only 15 km from Salzburg, exhibits technology close-up on 4,500 square metres. On a journey through time, you can observe automobiles and aircraft from past eras.
Ferdinand Porsche is considered the forefather of Porsche and VW and already built electric and hybrid engines into his first cars. He made history with the Austro Daimler Prinz Heinrich, which is considered the world's first real sports car, as well as the Kaiserwagen from 1912. What is less well known, is that Ferdinand Porsche was involved in the motorisation of agricultural equipment as early as 1915. A large collection of historic tractors is on display in the Traktor-Stadl.
The presentation is designed in such a way that visitors can get up close and personal with the valuable automobiles and historic aircrafts. Everything worth knowing can be accessed via multimedia touch screens.
With the flug(T)raum, the existing exhibition was expanded by some 800 m². In addition to the expansion of the Austro Daimler exhibition and a gallery on the success story of the VW Beetle, the historic Hansa-Brandenburg C1 and Klemm L20 aircraft are the highlights of the new exhibition.
State-of-the-art simulators offer a realistic driving experience and turn centrifugal forces into an adventure. The hands-on experience with the Carrera race tracks give enthusiasts of all ages the chance to delve into the world of their racing idols. In addition to the exciting exhibition and many activity stations, the knowledge rally takes visitors through the fahr(T)raum, where the whole family can learn about the automotive pioneer Ferdinand Porsche and his innovative technology in a playful way.
