Porsche Driving Experience Atlanta
Anyone ever done this?
Just finished up an afternoon there and it was the most fun I’ve had in recent memory. I can’t think of a better sales tool - when I get back home I may need to consider ditching my C43 for a Carrera 4S... |

Not in Atlanta, but love to track cars. Going to the track is a great way to get yourself into something new...
Sounds like you had a great day. Funny I drive a 2018 C43 Cabrio. Was really close to going with Porsche but in the end chose the MB.

Haven't done the full "experience" but have done an event there and had them do the driving. Not for the faint of heart and shows you what a real driver can do. Total class act and like you say : very supreme marketing event

At the end of the afternoon my instructor took me on two laps - really impressive what they can do and he pushed the car much harder than I had the guts to...

I was just in Atlanta tonight. I remember driving by that once. What does it take to experience it? Do you have to buy a Porsche? lol

No @ PDE you pick the Porsche you want to drive and then shower money upon them for the experience. You also get an instructor to keep it all together.

I have a gift certificate for 1.5 hours of driving and $125 credit to the restaurant. I really need to get it scheduled. I am pretty excited about it!

I have heard this. They actually recommend booking the driving portion in the morning and enjoy lunch after. The people that have lunch first have to skip the booze. Also, it was stressed that some drivers get a little car sick when driving after the nice meal.
