Wow what a fantastic day at the Porsche Range Experience at Silverstone today :D .

Started the day with breakfast and then a briefing. We were split up into colour groups of 16. This was further split to sub groups of 8. Everyone got a chance to drive every car in the Porsche range.

We started the day in the 718 Boxter and 718 Cayman on the kick plate and ice hill. It's great to experience the cars in this controlled environment where you can pick up tips and makes you realise how well the tech works on these cars to keep you safe. Then onto the Macans on public roads. Then the Panamera Hybrid on public roads. A break for lunch. The afternoon session you got to drive the 992 911 S and 4S models around the track with an instructor. The 911 is just amazing on track. Handles so well. You can feel the difference in weight between the S and 4S. If I was to buy one I would definitely go for the 4S.
Then onto an instructor drive around the track and low friction area in a GT3 RS.
Finally you get to drive the Cayenne on public roads and experience it's off road capabilities with an instructor. I have to say I had no idea the Cayenne was so good off road. We reached angles of 35 degrees sideways with inclines at 45 degrees. The Cayenne is such good value at it's price point compared to other big SUVs. There was tea and cakes at the end before the day ended. Porsche do these days so well. The staff are so friendly and approachable. Their knowledge of the cars is so good.

I had a massive grin on my face at the end of the day and thought how lucky am I to have had the opportunity to experience such a wonderful day. If you get an invite to this event definitely try and go.

A few pics I took ...
