Zoom, zoom!  Has the roar of powerful engines and the screeching sound of tires made your heart pump faster? And does the flash of a shiny car zooming by fill you with excitement?

The Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta will bring all of your dreams and wishes to life.

Porsche has been defining sports cars and race cars for over 100 years.  When you see one zipping by, it’s hard to take your eyes off or not wonder what is it like to drive such a high-performance car.  The Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta offers an opportunity to experience either riding as a passenger or driving one of their high-powered models with a hands-on, fast-paced, action-filled, exhilarating drive around the track.

You can select from the Porsche Driving Experience Program with your choice of car model and spend 90 minutes behind the wheel of a Porsche with a highly trained Porsche driving coach at your side.  Some of the programs are E-performance where you drive a hybrid Cayenne or check out the GT Academy where you learn all about the GT as well as drive it.  Or the Boxster.  There are also opportunities to go off-road.  Prices are around $400 – $700

You can also take a class at the Porsche Sports Driving School where you learn all about the performance characteristics and hone your skills for driving these high-performance cars all while improving your safety awareness and techniques.  With prices around $3,000 – $8,000 depending on the length of time and car.

Or, if you’d rather keep your feet on solid ground, but still feel as though you are driving; there are virtual driving simulators which put you in the driver’s seat with all the thrills of being on the road.

I recently had a great experience as a passenger – zooming around the curves and smelling the burning rubber of these fast-paced cars.  Here’s how you can have a personal experience like mine:

Take a Demonstration lap with an experienced, professional race car driver – either retired or active.
You can give it a try Tuesday – Saturday from 12:30 – 5:30
And, it’s only $65

You will whiz around the track in a 911 Carrera S, which is the default vehicle for the demonstration lap.  But, recently Porsche has started offering the Cayman GT4 and the 911 GT3 RS – for $100

The demonstration lap lasts for four minutes and you take two exhilarating laps around the circle where drivers will perform donuts too.

Are you ready to take a ride?  You can by calling to reserve your spot. (888) 204-7474 or online at www.porschedriving.com

And, what a great gift too.  You can purchase gift certificates for family and friends.
