Handling Circuit
More a simulated country road than a full-blown track, it’s packed full of turns to give you a taste of how your Porsche will handle out in the wild.
Low Friction Circle and Dynamics
A jungle gym meant to sharpen up your car’s control skills. If your back end isn’t sliding out, you’re doing it wrong. It’s a safe environment to explore the joys of oversteer.
Kick Plate
As you drive over a metal plate, it jerks, giving the car a swift kick in the ass that launches you into a spin. Though it has real educational value in teaching drivers how to recover from a spin, it’s also the automotive equivalent of a slip-and-slide.

Off-Road Course
The irony of a quite-capable Cayenne rolling over concrete debris and telephone poles that, according to Porsche, are actual remnants from the Ford facility is not lost on us. The harrowing course sets the car at a variety ungodly angles, all of which the SUV handles with ease.
Simulator Lab
Push yourself to the limits in the safety of virtual reality on a variety of real-world tracks. No need to call the wrecker when you hit the wall—just push the reset button.
Human Performance Center
A cutting edge “sports science laboratory” meant to tune an often-overlooked factor in car performance: the driver. It offers exercise facilities, nutrition consultation and wellness programs that are usually reserved for professional racecar drivers. Specialists will assess your body fat percentage, or even analyze a urine sample to determine your hydration level (I dare you to try that at your local dealership).
