The
Autostadt is a visitor attraction adjacent to the Volkswagen factory in
Wolfsburg, Germany, with a prime focus on automobiles. It features a
museum, feature pavilions for the principal automobile brands in the
Volkswagen Group, a customer center where German customers can pick up
new cars, and take a tour through the enormous factory, a guide to the
evolution of roads, and cinema in a large sphere. It is also home to the
largest glass doors in the world and the longest printed line. The line
starts from outside Wolfsburg and travels through Autostadt to a point
on a farm. It is about 4 miles (6.4 km) long.
Biggest
attraction, of course, are the towers. There are two 60 meter/200 ft
tall glass silos used as storage for new Volkswagens. The two towers are
connected to the Volkswagen factory by a 700 metre underground tunnel.
When cars arrive at the towers they are carried up at a speed of 1.5
metres per second. The render for the Autostadt shows 6 towers. When
purchasing a car from Volkswagen (the main brand only, not the
sub-brands) in select European countries, it is optional if the customer
wants it delivered to the dealership where it was bought or if the
customer wants to travel to Autostadt to pick it up. If the latter is
chosen, the Autostadt supplies the customer with free entrance, meal
tickets and a variety of events building up to the point where the
customer can follow on screen as the automatic elevator picks up the
selected car in one of the silos. The car is then transported out to the
customer without having driven a single meter, and the odometer is thus
on.
There
is also a room with interactive devices which provide information on
the design of cars using Audi as an example. Computer software allows
visitors to design their own cars using features from Audi cars and send
them to an email address and get them printed at the printer located in
the center of the room.
