Porsche's double milestone anniversaries celebrations
A special charity gala dinner was held on 8 June 2018 at Shangri-La Hotel in celebration of Porsche brand’s 70th anniversary and Porsche Club Singapore’s 30th anniversary. Over 300 guests, including Porsche customers, Porsche Club Singapore members, and members of the media were present at the event. The theme of the event “Sportscar Together” was inspired by how Porsche has been uniting sports car enthusiasts, customers, employees, and fans, sharing exciting and valuable moments with everyone all around the world for the past seven decades.
“Tonight is a celebration of 70 years of the Porsche brand. The first sports car to bear the Porsche name, the 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster, was registered exactly 70 years ago today. Since then, Porsche has further developed into a world-leading and innovative manufacturer of sports cars that combines tradition and innovation, performance and everyday usability, design and functionality, as well as exclusivity and social acceptance. Be it on the racetrack or on the road, in the passenger seat or behind the wheel, every single one of our Porsche models represents a piece of motoring history and a statement for the future,” said Henrik Dreier, General Manager – Singapore, Porsche Asia Pacific.
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Porsche brand, Karsono Kwee, Executive Chairman of Eurokars Group and the founder of Stuttgart Auto, made a donation of SGD 70,000. For each Gala Dinner ticket purchased, Porsche Asia Pacific and Stuttgart Auto also made a contribution of SGD70, altogether raising an additional SGD 21,000.
In addition, Porsche Asia Pacific and Stuttgart Auto held a charity aution, which raised a further SGD 20,900. Altogether, the event raised SGD 111,900 which will all be donated to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund.
50 Porsche customers’ cars and about 100 Porsche Club Singapore members, employees, friends and families came together for a special photoshoot at the new Eurokars Group integrated after sales facility at Tanjong Penjuru. The number ‘70’ and the word ‘Porsche’ was formed as seen in the official 70 Years of Porsche sportscar logo.
The all-new 911 Carrera T was displayed for the first time at the event. It was placed next to a classic 911 T from 1968. After almost 50 years, the new 911 Carrera T’s design is optimised to deliver ultimate sportiness and lightweight construction – Porsche’s way of reviving the purist concept of its predecessor. With shorter transmission ratios from its manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive with mechanical rear differential lock to enhance its performance and provide greater driving pleasure. The all-new 911 Carrera T provides a maximum power of 272 kW (370 hp) and can reach 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 291 km/h.
As part of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the Porsche brand, the Singapore charity Gala dinner was one of the numerous events planned internationally, and within Asia Pacific.
