So the question is, where can the dream cars be found? In Stuttgart of course!

The 956 C struts its stuff on Königstraße. After all, this is the most successful racing car of all time with seven wins in Le Mans alone. Here it stands eye-to-eye with the glass cube of the municipal art museum. The cube was designed by the Berlin architecture firm Hascher + Jehle.

You have to like maths. Some hate it, others love it. At the Institute of high-performance computing at the University of Stuttgart this is done by large computers. Very large computers. It was founded in July 2005 in Vaihingen, but it looks back on a long tradition. The institute was established from the former institute for computer applications, department for computer simulation and visualisation.
