Audi owners and fans of the German brand located in the Chicago area will be able to test drive the Audi TTS Coupe and the Audi S5 Coupe, thanks to 'The Autobahn Experience'. The new program is supported by the Chicago Audi dealers and the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Ill.

"When looking for an exclusive partner in Chicagoland to provide hands-on customer excitement, Autobahn Country Club was the clear choice," said Scott Zuercher, Area General Manager for Chicago, Audi of America, in a statement for the press.

"The proximity to Chicago, high-quality facilities, and staff expertise all contributed to making the project become a reality. This is a great opportunity for customers to test drive the latest Audi performance models. Our dealer partners in Chicagoland all benefit from the investment of customer enjoyment and familiarization with the Audi brand," added Zuercher.

As we said, enthusiasts will be allowed to test the two aforementioned models on the track, and improve their driving skills with the help of professional driving instructors.

"The typical Audi customer is a perfect match for Autobahn Country Club," said Mark Basso, President and Founder, Autobahn Country Club. "In addition to the highest levels of performance and efficiency, the high safety rankings found with most Audi models fit the precautions that are carried out by our instructors."
