Spend 90 minutes driving the latest rear-engine Porsche 911 versus the mid-engine layout of the Porsche Cayman or Boxster. Choose which modules of the test track you would like to drive on and learn about the chief performance characteristics of each vehicle. With this experience we will help you figure out which of these two dynamic machines matches your driving desire.

1 Mile Handling Circuit

This one-mile handling course is designed to mimic a winding country road. Its varying curves and undulations will teach a driver the finer points of choosing the correct path and brake application when navigating those conditions. 

Dynamics Area

The large asphalt pad of the Dynamics Area is designed to stimulate unique maneuvers encountered during daily driving. Here, you’ll test the speed, agility, and lane-change performance of both yourself and the Porsche you’re driving. 

Kick Plate

As your vehicle travels over the plate, sensors trigger it to move randomly, mimicking sliding that occurs during inclement weather conditions. This experience forces the driver to react effectively in the scenario of a vehicle skid or spin. 

Wet, Low-Friction Circle

Ever wanted to experience the glorious drift of a Porsche? In the low-friction circle, test out over-steer capabilities using a combination of throttle and steering input, on an inward slope of wet polished concrete. 

Low-Friction Handling Circuit

Similar to the Circle, the Low-Friction Handling Circuit is a polished concrete surface. Featuring a series of unique, tight curves in various radius types on-and-off camber corners this circuit is designed to test the driver’s skills during extreme understeer conditions. 

Off-Road Circuit

Designed with a Cayenne in mind, the Off-Road Circuit will test your handling skills and the expansive capabilities of a Cayenne's off-road engineering and safety technology.
