Since first opening its doors in June 2015, the Porsche Experience Center Atlanta (PEC) has made its mark as a brand park where everyone – not just Porsche owners – gets to drive the Porsche of their dreams. To mark its fifth anniversary, the PEC hosted a virtual celebration on Wednesday, December 9, 2020. Hosted by factory racing driver Patrick Long, the celebration featured special guests from its hometown in Atlanta including Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, NBA Hall of Fame legend Dominique Wilkins, chef, author and restauranteur Kevin Gillespie, 11Alive news anchor Francesca Amiker, social media influencer Shubble, DJ Skee, as well as entertainment from the Yacht Rock Revue.
“One Porsche Drive is such a special and inspiring environment – the feeling of excitement when approaching the building, even after five years, is so strong. Welcoming over a quarter of a million visitors to our home in Atlanta in just five years is a testament to the enthusiasm we share with guests each and every day,” said Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA). “We’re thrilled to celebrate the Porsche Experience Center Atlanta’s fifth anniversary with a special virtual event that everyone can enjoy from the comfort of their home. Like everything we do at Porsche, the celebration should bring the Porsche family together, and you don’t want to miss it.”
