VW's 'Transparent Factory' is located on the edge of downtown Dresden, Germany, next to the city's largest park.

Manufacturing takes place in the box-shaped building behind the inverted stainless-steel cone in the center of the photo. The glass tower on the right is used to store completed Phaetons before delivery.
