New Porsche Campus Opens!

Porsche opens new HQ, experience center in Atlanta


Cannot wait to check this place out--ten minutes away. A friend's brother is the Executive Chef for the entire facility...what a gig.

I've got a buddy at work that almost got us in for the Open House event today. Seems we might still be able to make an event there in a few weeks.

I was watching one of the local news channels that did a story about the new facility. They implied it was open/available for any Porsche owner to be able to run on their built in track is that correct ? I work with a guy that his son works there, he's in charge of all 918 deliveries.........nice work if you can get it ! I'm sure our PCA chapter will have some events that end up there. Welcome to Atlanta Porsche.

And here I thought the ATL was a destination to go to just to eat at one of Todd's great restaurants and now this! I'll have to check it out next time I'm in town.

You're too kind, Craig. By the way--if you're coming to town we should round up some fellow Pelicans and head to the test track for a little fun!

They don't have anything on their site about having a garage but they do have a job opening for
Classic Master Technician and Parts Manager for Classic Center
Anyone know what Porsche's plan is?

Early on when Porsche announced the new facility there was talk of a classic car restoration shop on campus so that would be my guess.
