- The Porsche 911 and Mercedes 300 SL light sculptures are now exhibited in front of their respective museums instead of Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz.
- Due to budget constraints, the city moved the displays to museum sites, reducing expenses for security and maintenance.
- Porsche’s sculpture has been lit since the first Advent Sunday and will remain until January, while Mercedes plans to exhibit until February’s end.
- Other light sculptures like the Rössle, Wilhelma elephant, and Ferris wheel are stored and will not be displayed this or next year.
The silhouette is timeless, represents our brand. That’s why we let it shine in front of our doorstep.— A spokesperson from the Porsche Museum explains the significance of the light sculpture for the Porsche brand.
