American Headquarters

The Porsche demonstration track at Atlanta’s Porsche Experience Center features the following at Porsche’s American HQ in Georgia:

1 Turntable for power-sliding in front of the building.

2 Kick Plate: the hydraulic Kick Plate causes the vehicle to oversteer to the right or left on a wet, low-friction surface with varying intensity. The driver can experience the effect of electronic stability control, and also practice countersteering and improve his reaction time when the systems are switched off.

3 Driver development track: the course resembles a country road with numerous curves. With a professional instructor at his side, the driver can improve his driving skills and practice smooth and precise steering, braking, and acceleration, also allowing him to experience the capabilities of a Porsche in great detail. A hot lap with a professional instructor is also available.

4 Dynamics Area: the Dynamics Area provides space for slalom, full-force braking, and lane-change exercises.

5 Low-Friction Circle: a flat circular track with a polished concrete surface and uniform inward slope designed so drivers can experience over- and understeer as well as drifting.

6 Low-Friction Handling Course: a tight course with a polished concrete surface and on- and off-camber corners designed for drifting.

7 Off-road Course: 21 off-road disciplines including a creek bed and a 45° vertical descent.
