Germany may be the true home of Porsche, but here in the United States, Atlanta is the heart and soul of this legendary German automaker. Porsche began as the dream of one man, a visionary who sought to design and build the ultimate luxury sports car. Today Porsche has brought this same legendary vision to Atlanta, Georgia in the guise of the Porsche Experience Center.
More Than Just a Track
The Porsche Experience Center offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in everything that made Porsche what it is today without ever having to leave the country. For example you can hone your skills as a driver on one of several test track modules under the careful scrutiny and tutelage of a certified instructor. Not only will you encounter track modules, but there are also a series of off road tracks as well.
Each of these modules has been designed to test your skills while at the same time demonstrate the power and responsiveness found in all vehicles from this legendary German automaker. They have also been designed to successfully demonstrate the safety features built into every Porsche on the road today.
The Track Area
Here you will find six different modules, each of which has been designed to demonstrate different aspects of the various Porsche vehicles. From handling your Porsche at high speeds to maneuvering during your daily drive, these tracks let you try it all. They are intended to test your limits and teach you how to handle them without crashing. All driving is done under the direct supervision of a skilled instructor to ensure your safety at all times.
For those who want to hone their skills, you can make an appointment to work one-on-one with a specialized Porsche Driving Consultant. You can start at the beginner level with classes intended to help you learn basic safety techniques and move your way up to advanced classes out on the Kick Plate where a series of hydraulic rams move the slippery surface to simulate a wide variety of skids.
After the Drive
Spending the day out on the track can work up a terrible hunger. Here at the Porsche Experience you can grab a quick snack or cappuccino between rides at the Carrera Café.. For those who prefer something a little more substantial, the Restaurant 356 offers you a fine dining experience.
Here you will find dishes prepared by classically trained chefs creating a blend of traditional and fusion styles. Lunch and dinner are served and include a mixture of wholesome, healthy dishes featuring seasonal ingredients. Dishes can be adjusted to meet your special requests or your dietary needs by simply requesting the necessary changes. Banquet and conference facilities, as well as boxed lunches are also available.
Inside the Facility
Along with the various tracks and restaurants you will find the Human Performance Center equipped with the same training programs designed to help prepare Porsche racing drivers for the grueling conditions found on the track. You can also access the Driving Simulator Center and spend time enjoying the thrill of driving a Porsche without putting yourself or your Porsche at risk.
Inside the Business Center you will find a number of conference rooms ranging in size to fit your needs. These rooms are equipped with the latest in state of the art equipment and come with a professional support staff. Finally there is the Porsche Exclusive Personal Design Studio. Here you can design your Porsche to meet your exacting needs as you work your way through the complete selection of paint samples and a host of custom specialty parts to create a Porsche that is uniquely yours and yours alone.
