The new 911’s stretched silhouette and aerodynamic contours suggest nothing less than a predisposition to flight. So what better way to celebrate its launch in Australia than being flown, via helicopter, straight to Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit to be one of the first to drive it.
After some head-spinning hot-laps on track, the dream day continues when the helicopter drops you back into Melbourne, to premium trackside seats in the Porsche Chicane Skybox at the Formula 1™ Australian Grand Prix. If you love sports cars, it's hard to imagine a better day.

Event Program
Once you pick up your boarding pass...
...your feet will barely touch the ground all day.
Take flight from the banks of the Yarra River, via helicopter to Phillip Island. This is a rare opportunity to experience this extraordinary new 911 in a way it is simply impossible to do on normal roads. Guided by professional Porsche driving instructors, you will be astonished by this ground-breaking new Porsche. Take the hot seat and test out its superb handling and dynamics in the safety of a closed circuit environment.
The new 911 will be crouched on the tarmac... raring to go.
Before you even get behind the wheel, it will disarm you with its new, 'poised for flight' appearance. Hailed as ‘leaner, meaner and the new benchmark by international motoring journalists, the first thing you will notice is an increase in the wheelbase and reduced height. Certainly, the 911’s trademark design still dominates, but only to see it crouch even more purposefully on the road. Optimised aerodynamics, increased power and an upgraded PDK gearbox... you’ll experience these features on the open track!
Why come back to earth, when Box Seats at the Formula 1™ Australian Grand Prix await?
Your return journey from Phillip Island by helicopter will drop you straight into the VIP seats of the exclusive Porsche Chicane Skybox hospitality facility. Thrill after thrill, you will be hosted at the legendary turn 1 at Albert Park, rightly renowned for making or breaking a race as drivers compete for position.
