Stuttgart/Le Mans. On 12 June 2015 the French marketing and sales company

Porsche France celebrated the official opening of the Porsche Experience

Center Le Mans. The Experience Center is ideally located on the 2.9

kilometre racetrack “Circuit Maison Blanche” and offers customers and all

Porsche enthusiasts an exclusive brand experience. Visitors have an

opportunity to experience the outstanding handling characteristics of all

Porsche models for themselves on the test circuit and a road track and to

learn how to use the full potential of these sports cars.

“With our new model range including sports cars like the 911 GT3 RS, the

Cayman GT4 and the Boxster Spyder, we offer extremely sporty products on

the market”, said Bernhard Maier, Member of the Executive Board Sales and

Marketing at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. “Being able to offer our

customers an authentic brand experience at this location is a unique

opportunity and makes the Experience Center even more special.”

Pierre Fillon, Chairman of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, also emphasised

the historic ties between Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans: “Porsche

has competed in races here every year since 1951 and therefore more

frequently than any other manufacturer. The fortunes of Porsche and the

ACO are therefore closely linked. I am sure that you will agree with me

that there can be no more legitimate place in the world for the French

Porsche Experience Center than the circuit of the 24 Heures in Le Mans.”

It was a challenge to construct the almost 2,600 m2 building to ensure

that it opened on time for the 2015 24-hour race: “We couldn't have

realised this project without the very close cooperation between Porsche

and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest”, says Marc Ouayoun, Managing Director

of Porsche France. “Thanks to the commitment of all those involved we were

able to adhere to the very tight construction deadline of just ten months,

which means that we will be able to follow the race in our “own” four

walls this year.”

Porsche drivers, future customers and fans of the brand will be able to

take advantage of various offers at the Porsche Experience Center Le Mans

(PEC): at the “Porsche Sport Driving School” anyone can perfect their

driving style with professional instruction on the racetrack behind the

wheel of the latest Porsche models. The “Porsche Experience Programme”

offers all customers ordering a Porsche an opportunity to take part in a

half-day training session at the PEC to enable them to become acquainted

with and master the special features and equipment of the brand's models.

Furthermore, customers can take delivery of their new Porsche right on

site. As well as a Porsche Service Center where current and earlier models

can be serviced and repaired, there is also a Porsche Driver’s Selection

boutique and a permanent exhibition of current and historic vehicles.

Further information on the PEC and registration for one of the various

programmes is available at www.porsche-experience-center.fr.
