SINGAPORE

Following the world premiere of the new Macan that was held at the Gardens by the Bay, and the International Dealer Launch Event at Marina Bay area, Porsche has once again placed Singapore in the global spotlight. 

Porsche has announced Singapore as the location for its 11th Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) globally. Strategically located just 20 minutes away from Changi Airport, the upcoming 9-Hectare Porsche Experience Centre will stand to be the first driving-centric establishment in Singapore, to provide dynamic driving experiences to both locals and regional visitors. The upcoming PEC boasts a dynamic handling track spanning over two kilometres, serving as an ideal arena to showcase the capabilities of the entire range of Porsche offerings. The cutting-edge establishment will also feature a fully integrated, high capacity aftersales facility – a pioneering feature unprecedented in any other PECs worldwide.

In line with Porsche’s effort to achieving a net carbon-neutral value chain for its newly manufactured vehicles by 2030, and in alignment with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, aimed at promoting sustainable development, the PEC Singapore fleet will prominently showcase a substantial selection of electric vehicles (EVs), providing environmentally friendly yet exhilarating driving experiences. Apart from the track, the upcoming PEC also promises engaging activities for families. These include a diverse range of experiences consisting of themed exhibitions, rotating displays featuring iconic cars from the Porsche Musuem’s archives, immersive racing simulators, and a selection of dining options.
