Naveen's Journal

Well, if the beginning to my European sojourn is something to go by, then definitely it’ll be fun to be here for the next year. Before I could post some pictures of the beautiful city Leipzig is, and about other things here, I am compelled to write the experience we had yesterday. As part of our Welcoming event at HHL, Porsche organised a grand reception for HHL students, and it was a pretty long day having the great mix of business, strategy, fun and adventure! Starting the day with case studies and presentations on the Global warming issue, which is forcing the EU to bring CO2 emmission norms which’ll put cars like Porsche off the streets for sure, we had a gala lunch at the sophisticated Porsche facility in Leipzig which is the production center for all Cayene models. And after brainstorming during the afternoon on the CO2 issues and devicing strategies for Porsche, we were pleasantly surprised to know that the powerful beast Porsche Cayene Turbo was waiting for us at the Porsche Testing tracks, to give us the rides of our lifetime!

And what a ride it turned out to be! It’s impossible to explain the feeling that you get while bumping on those chicanes at almost 200 miles per hour! I was fortunate to be beside the driver, Manuel, and toook the following video. Also enjoy few pictures of the Porsche museum having all cars in its line – from the Carera GT2 to the Cayene to vintage sports cars!
