Porsches are the kind of machines that keep you on your toes from early adolescence, but getting to own one usually sees those teens reaching their 40s or 50s. Well, Zuffenhausen is determined to do something about this.
Now, don't even think about starting to look for a fake ID and a disguise, as the automaker hasn't introduced a teen discount program just yet. Instead, Porsche's French arm is back in the teenage driving tuition game.

You may remember how Porsche came up with the idea of asking youngsters to sustain their driving exam in a 911. The results were delivered to us last November and, as entertaining as they were, the adventure wasn't exactly a success.

Well, the automaker decided to send those eager to drive out on the racetrack. Once again, the adventure takes places in France, as it all has to do with Porsche's Le Mans Experience Center.

If you ask us, this was the ultimate test both for the aspiring students, as well as for Porsche's driving instructors. The latter took the young one out on the track, demonstrating what the Porsche crest is all about.

From intense velocity moments inside an Ultraviolet Blue 911 GT3 RS, to some amazing offroad, at least for the Macan's civilian appearance, the experience was nothing short of a blast.

However, the real adventure kicked off when the teens were asked to grab the wheel. Late braking, sliding car control and other usual circuit ingredients were on the menu.

So, did things go smoothly? Well, if the answer had been a positive one, the clip below probably wouldn't have been worthy of your attention.

P.S.: For those of you who missed it, we added the driving test video mentioned above at the bottom of the page. Let the back-in-my-day thoughts surface...
