The Porsche Design Mythos and Innovation exhibition at the Tabakfabrik in the Austrian city of Linz has proved a popular visitor magnet.

Since the exhibition opened five weeks ago some 15,000 people have visited it.

The Porsche Design Mythos and Innovation exhibition was brought to Linz after the state of Upper Austria invested 1.6 million Euros in the show. The exhibition has already enjoyed success internationally.

Exhibition curator Michael Shamiyeh said: "The Porsche exhibition has been visited by many different people from families right through to academics to school children and students who have wanted to see the exhibitions content."

Over a space of 3,400 square metres around fifty prototypes are on show, which until now very few people have seen.

The exhibition is due to run until 18th November 2012.
