Ltd., the new venture formed by Eurokars Group and Porsche Asia Pacific, announces a new partnership with real estate developer GuocoLand, and unveils the location for its upcoming Porsche Studio Singapore. In the second half of 2023, the iconic German sportscar brand will be housed at the upcoming Guoco Midtown integrated mixed-use development at Beach Road, with the intention of delivering more customer-centric experiences and bringing the brand closer to its fans in Singapore. “We are excited to announce the location of the upcoming Porsche Studio Singapore at Guoco Midtown today. In addition to test drives, vehicle personalisation and a selection of own and partner products, Porsche Studio Singapore aims to be a premiere brand destination with its convenient city-centre location - a place where fans and customers alike can immerse themselves in new experiences, connecting and exchanging ideas with other likeminded Porsche enthusiasts,” said Mr. Andre Brand, General Manager Porsche Singapore on the announcement. “Guoco Midtown is an innovative development that integrates new concepts to redefine the way we work, live and play. Through this partnership with Porsche Singapore, we are glad to play a role in creating a new experiential automotive retail concept that combines innovative product showcases with authentic community engagement,” said Ms. Valerie Wong, Group General Manager (Asset Management) of GuocoLand. Porsche Studio Singapore combines new, heritage and special Porsche car displays with an integrated F&B experience, as well as co-working and community exhibition spaces to redefine customer experiences in store. Outside, adjacent event spaces within the Guoco Midtown development have also been earmarked as modular event venues for larger-scale Porsche community gatherings and family events. “Porsche is the brand for those who follow their dreams, and with Porsche Studio Singapore, we want to dream big and create a space that is both experiential for customers and fans, but also a home for us to interact closely with our Porsche community,” said Mr. Andre Brand. In the interim, Porsche plans to open a Porsche NOW Pop-up at Guoco Tower, from early January 2023 to the public, as well as customers and fans.

https://carsnkopi.wordpress.com/2023/02/23/porsche-legends-911-sport-classic-pops-into-town/ What has a tricked-out twin-turbo 3.7-litre flat-six, rear-wheel drive, a 7-speed manual tranny, 543 horses, 600 newtons of torques, is one of Porsche’s Heritage Design limited-run models with only 1,250 units to go around the World and requires you to come up with 1.5 million reasons to want one? Well, you’d probably already guessed it seeing the headlining picture. Yes! The (997.2) 911 Sport Classic has finally “popped” into town for the 2nd iteration of Curvistan. Curated once again by Stefan Bogner, the man behind Curves Magazine. Who, very clearly showing he is one of us, happily stepped outside to check out a non-Porsche (gasp!) and to chat about cars before very quickly slipping back in to continue his official duties. With 4 units of this very special 911 allocated for our sunny island, one lucky owner had this particular unit already registered, narrowly sidestepping a massive slap of tax increases that has only just come into effect. | Just in case you were wondering, taking a look at it is free, so for those of us without the requisite 1.5 million to spare, you’re in luck! Just try not to drool over the bodywork since it’s already spoken for. No, we won’t get to drive it. Ever. Lucky bugger. Opening hours for Curvistan@Mandala Club is as follows: Tue – Sat | 10am – 10pm, Sun | 10am- 6pm Mandala Club 31 Bukit Pasoh Rd Singapore 089845
