Porsche - Testing

Testing

Whether a vehicle actually exhibits the desired characteristics when in the hands of the customer is revealed in the complete vehicle test. Naturally, the preconditions for a successful complete vehicle test are positive calculation and simulation results, as well as component tests on test benches. Porsche Engineering can draw on vast experience and expertise in the field of testing, especially at the testing grounds in Nardò in southern Italy.
