IF YOU EVER find yourself flying into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, take a look at the north-east corner of the airport. There you’ll find a groovy-looking building with sports cars speeding on an adjacent racetrack. What you are seeing is Porsche North America’s new $100 million headquarters and Porsche Experience Centre, which opened their doors to the public this week.
“Today we celebrate a significant milestone in the history of Porsche as we expand our footprint in the United States and reaffirm our commitment to the state of Georgia and the city of Atlanta,” Matthias Mueller, president and CEO of Porsche, said. “We are investing more than ever before, heightening visibility for the Porsche brand in the US and worldwide.”
Porsche North America has called Atlanta home since 1998
With the new 27-acre facility, Porsche has created an opportunity to connect with current and prospective buyers
It has a 1.6-mile, high-speed test track
And there’s an off-road course, where drivers can get a little muddy
Inside, there are the obligatory classics, like this Brumos Racing Porsche
There’s a fine-dining restaurant called Restaurant 356
And a Porsche design studio, where customers can configure their future cars
