Vera Zvonareva and Sabine Lisicki talks about their speedy Porsche drive experience – Tennis News
Former playboy magazine cover model, Vera Zvonareva, and the German tennis ace, Sabine Lisicki, visited the Porsche’s Research and Development Centre in Weissach to put their hands on one of the most luxurious and prestigious drives
in the world. They test drove several cars and struck high speed of approximately 250kph.
Both players were given special relaxation to drive a bit longer than prescribed, a track of almost 2.88km. They raced away for several laps and loved this experience. The car models that were used for test drives by two of the
Top-15 tennis icons were Porsche 911 GT3, the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Porsche Boxster.
Talking about her experience the German beauty starlet stated, “This was just the perfect thing for me. I love driving cars. I was driving with a very good driver. They've been doing this for years and have a lot of experience,
and it's amazing to see how well they control the cars. And to drive a couple of laps I was amazing. It made the day perfect. I really loved it.”
Lisicki loved the ride of G3; speeding around and then stopping suddenly is so much fun according to her. She loves drifting and drag racing but hasn’t had an opportunity to do that due to hectic tennis schedules. However, she
enjoyed her ride there and was really appreciative of the officials who gave them such an opportunity.
The Russian tennis icon, Zvonareva stated, "I liked all of the cars, but I think maybe the Turbo was my favourite. I didn't know what to expect from today. You watch those entire car racing competitions and don't realize what drivers
have to do - then once you get to experience it on the track with high speeds you understand the job they're doing.”
Racing at a speed of 250kph and than coming to a stop in just three to four seconds over a distance of 100m is incredible. This is what both players loved about these cars. They are car fanatics and having such a mesmerizing experience
is always a dream come true for them. In Moscow, the roads are so congested and jam packed so high speed is not an option; barely touching 20kmph is a massive achievement for the Russian tennis starlet, however, she fulfilled her dream here. She loves to make
nasty turns and drive at high speed but city rides are not that fun due to heavy traffics.
