ATLANTA--Sept. 7, 2006--Porsche and Lufthansa are teaming up to make the purchase of a Porsche an unforgettable journey. Starting immediately, participants in the Porsche European Delivery Program have the opportunity to fly on Lufthansa with special discount tickets to Porsche factories in Germany, where they will get the chance to experience their "factory fresh" vehicles on the roads of Europe that inspired their newly-purchased vehicle.

This special offer includes European delivery of Porsche's newest SUV offering, the Cayenne S Titanium Edition, built in Leipzig, Germany, a city that is home to one of the world's most technologically advanced assembly plants in the world yet offers a rich spectrum of historic and cultural attractions that date back a thousand years.

Participants in the program can realize savings of more than 35 percent discount off First and Business class airfares, and more than 30 percent off Economy class from Lufthansa's 16 U.S. gateways, which include Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Once travelers arrive in Stuttgart or Leipzig, Germany, they spend the first several hours of their trip as special guests of Porsche, where they will be treated to a tour of the state-of-the-art facility to learn how their Porsche was created. After a special VIP luncheon, a Porsche Delivery Consultant will introduce travelers to their very own Porsche and acquaint them with the features and operations of their new vehicle.

The new owners can then explore the charm and history of Germany, or any other exciting European destination they choose, at their own pace, in exquisite style.

Porsche's all-inclusive program includes factory delivery, shipment of the automobile to North America, marine insurance, collision and third-party insurance. Even the cab fare from the airport to the Porsche factory and one free hotel night is included. For those arriving in Stuttgart, guests will see the birthplace of Porsche, and arguably the automobile itself, as it evolved over the decades from humble beginnings to what is now considered one of the most modern and innovative manufacturing facilities of performance sports cars anywhere.

This special program becomes available as Porsche debuts its new Cayenne S Titanium Edition. The V-8 powered Cayenne S Titanium Edition will mark the first time that consumers can purchase one of the world's sportiest SUVs in the signature Porsche "Pure Red" exterior color--and other special colors--making this version the ultimate for SUV drivers who want sports car performance and a high level of fashionable luxury.
