How To Fit a Porsche Panamera Into a Freight Elevator

2010-porsche-panamera-in-elevator-4

Ever since I read about Porsche's Panamera unveiling being on the 94th floor of a highrise in Shanghai, I've had many unanswered questions in my mind surrounding how they got the thing up there. Well, today I reveal all! (second hand of course)

After a bunch of searching, I found this video that follows the whole process.

That is one amazing feat in my opinion. The crazy thing is they make it look so easy. I want those guys helping me next time I have to move.

    After a 2nd time through, I still can't believe that it fit in there. The whole time it looks like it's going to scrape the crap out of the side of the Porsche.

    Wow that is incredible. Thanks for finding that video Ryan. I was also wondering how they actually did it. Not much clearance on the sides of the car.

    Wait… I think I'm missing something… All I see is a picture.
    Is that thing standing upright in the elevator??

    kind of reminds me of the videos where hummers literally climb walls – without the jack…. still cool tho!

    now a original mini cooper would be fun to see because they could probably just drive it right in the elevator and not have to deal with all that extra stuff of flipping the car

    He is trained to be a high security officer. No smiles, show no interest in the car or the engineering project. Just be a guard.
