Pelumba Esports Beraksi dengan Porsche Sebenar di Litar Sepang

Sime Darby Auto Performance, pengedar rasmi Porsche di Malaysia, baru-baru ini merealisasikan impian pemenang Porsche Esports Sprint Challenge Malaysia 2025 apabila mereka diberi peluang memandu kereta Porsche sebenar di Litar Antarabangsa PETRONAS Sepang.

Acara ini menyaksikan para pelumba simulasi terbaik negara menukar konsol permainan mereka dengan jentera ikonik Porsche, termasuk SUV Cayenne, 911 Carrera, serta model elektrik terkini seperti Macan EV dan Taycan.

Menurut Porsche, sukan permotoran adalah sebahagian daripada DNA jenama itu, dan Esports kini dilihat sebagai platform penting untuk mengenal pasti serta membentuk bakat baharu. Program ini bukan sekadar memberi pengalaman unik, tetapi juga bertujuan menginspirasikan anak muda untuk mengembangkan minat mereka — sama ada di dunia maya mahupun di litar perlumbaan sebenar.

Porsche Cayenne Electric Tawar Kabin Baharu dengan Teknologi Terkini

Porsche bakal melancarkan Cayenne Electric menjelang akhir 2025 dengan tumpuan utama pada rekaan dalaman serba baharu yang lebih selesa, canggih dan boleh diperibadikan mengikut cita rasa pemilik. Pusat tarikan utama ialah Flow Display, skrin terbesar pernah dipasang pada model Porsche, yang direka untuk memberikan pengalaman digital menyeluruh kepada pemandu dan penumpang.

Bahagian dalaman SUV ini masih mengekalkan gaya sporty ikonik Porsche, namun diperkaya dengan sentuhan digital moden. Flow Display OLED melengkung membentang sepanjang papan pemuka, digandingkan dengan kluster instrumen digital 14.25 inci serta pilihan skrin penumpang 14.9 inci yang boleh digunakan untuk video dan aplikasi.

Turut disertakan ialah paparan kepala realiti terimbuh (AR head-up display), yang memaparkan navigasi dan panduan terus ke pandangan jalan dengan jelas.

Dari segi keselesaan, Cayenne Electric menampilkan tempat duduk belakang boleh laras elektrik, pemanas pada tempat duduk, perehat tangan serta panel pintu, selain Mood Modes baharu yang mampu menyesuaikan pencahayaan, bunyi, kawalan iklim dan posisi tempat duduk untuk suasana santai atau fokus. Bumbung panoramik dengan Variable Light Control juga membolehkan pemilik memilih mod lutsinar, legap atau separa lut.

Porsche Previews the Cayenne Electric Interior Ahead of Global Debut

The upcoming Porsche Cayenne Electric, scheduled to debut at the end of 2025, introduces a new interior concept that emphasises comfort, digital functionality, and personalisation. At the centre of this update is the Flow Display, the largest screen ever fitted to a Porsche, integrated into a cabin designed to merge sport-focused design with advanced digital systems.

According to Markus Auerbach, Director Interior Design at Style Porsche, the goal was to combine traditional Cayenne design cues with Porsche’s new “Digital Interaction” approach. The Flow Display, a curved OLED panel, forms the basis of this system, offering a clean, seamless interface for vehicle controls and infotainment. Alongside this, new features such as electrically adjustable rear seats, heating for surfaces like armrests and door panels, and customisable Mood Modes expand the model’s scope of comfort and usability.

All passengers benefit from increased cabin space and new comfort options. The standard-fit electrically adjustable rear seats can switch between comfort and cargo positions, while Mood Modes adjust interior light, sound, climate, and seating settings for relaxation or focus. A panoramic roof with Variable Light Control adds further versatility: its glass surface, the largest ever installed in a Porsche, can transition between clear, matte, or two semi-transparent settings.

Porsche Malaysia Lancar 911 GT3 Baharu

Porsche Malaysia, yang dikendalikan oleh Sime Darby Auto Performance, telah melancarkan secara rasmi model terbaharu Porsche 911 GT3 di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang.

Model prestasi tinggi ini dikuasakan oleh enjin 4.0 liter flat-six yang menghasilkan 510PS dan 450Nm tork. Ia turut menerima kemas kini teknikal termasuk aci sesondol lebih tajam, sistem penyejukan baharu serta injap pendikit yang dipertingkat. Walaupun berdepan peraturan emisi yang lebih ketat, 911 GT3 masih mengekalkan rev tinggi serta bunyi enjin ikonik Porsche.

Bagi transmisi, pilihan 7-kelajuan PDK membolehkan kereta ini memecut dari 0–100km/j dalam 3.4 saat dengan kelajuan maksimum 311km/j. Versi 6-kelajuan manual pula mencatat 3.9 saat untuk pecutan 0–100km/j, namun menawarkan kelajuan tertinggi sedikit lebih tinggi pada 313km/j.

Dari segi aerodinamik, ia dipertingkat dengan diffuser hadapan baharu, bukaan udara lebih besar, serta rekaan semula sayap belakang dan diffuser. Sistem suspensi pula diadaptasi daripada GT3 RS, termasuk gandar hadapan double-wishbone dan sistem anti-dive untuk kestabilan membrek lebih baik.

GT3 hadir dengan rim 20 inci di hadapan dan 21 inci di belakang, dengan pilihan tayar trek. Berat keseluruhan dikurangkan kepada 1,420kg melalui penggunaan rim aluminium, bateri ringan, serta pilihan rim magnesium.

Dua varian ditawarkan kepada pelanggan Malaysia:

911 GT3 – dilengkapi sayap belakang tetap.
911 GT3 Touring – tampil lebih ringkas dengan spoiler halus, kemasan dalaman kulit serta pilihan tempat duduk belakang.

Kedua-duanya boleh dipadankan dengan pakej khas termasuk pakej trek atau pakej ringan. Menariknya, pakej Clubsport yang merangkumi roll cage dan tali pinggang keselamatan perlumbaan diberikan secara percuma untuk varian GT3 standard.

Bahagian kabin mengekalkan konfigurasi sporty dua tempat duduk dengan pilihan kerusi bucket ringan. Turut ditawarkan skrin mod Trek eksklusif GT3, suis penghidup enjin berbentuk tombol, serta pelbagai opsyen khusus untuk kegunaan di litar.

Melengkapkan pelancaran ini, Porsche Design turut memperkenalkan jam tangan eksklusif untuk pemilik 911 GT3. Dibuat daripada titanium, rekaan jam ini diinspirasikan terus daripada perincian model tersebut.

Di Malaysia, Porsche 911 GT3 dan 911 GT3 Touring kini boleh didapati dengan harga bermula daripada RM2.29 juta.

New Porsche 911 GT3 Makes Malaysian Debut at Sepang – 510PS, 450Nm of Torque!

Porsche Malaysia, under Sime Darby Auto Performance, has introduced the new 911 GT3 at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit.

At the centre of the car is a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine producing 510PS and 450Nm. The engine has been revised with sharper camshafts, new cylinder heads, optimised throttle valves, and updated cooling. It meets stricter emissions standards with the addition of dual particulate filters and four catalytic converters, but still retains the high-revving character and distinctive sound expected from the GT3.

Acceleration to 100km/h takes 3.4 seconds with the 7-speed PDK gearbox, or 3.9 seconds with the 6-speed manual. Top speed is 311km/h with PDK, 313km/h with the manual.

The 911 GT3 has undergone significant aerodynamic refinements. At the front, a new diffuser, spoiler lip, and underbody fins improve downforce. Matrix LED headlights with integrated light functions allow for larger air intakes. The rear wing has angled sideplates, and the rear diffuser and lid have been reshaped.

Porsche has carried over suspension technology from the GT3 RS, including double-wishbone front axles with teardrop trailing arms that generate downforce while cooling the brakes. An anti-dive system has been introduced to improve stability under hard braking.

The car comes with 20-inch front and 21-inch rear tyres as standard, with optional road-legal track tyres available. Lightweight design remains a priority: the base car weighs 1,420 kg, with weight savings achieved through aluminium wheels, a lithium-ion battery, and optional magnesium wheels in the Weissach or Leichtbau packages.

Two distinct versions are offered. The GT3 retains its fixed rear wing, while the GT3 with Touring package swaps it for a more understated extendable spoiler. The Touring model also gains a leather-trimmed interior and, for the first time, an optional rear seat system.

Both versions can be further customised with the Weissach package for track use, or the Lightweight package for the Touring, which includes CFRP components and magnesium wheels. The Clubsport package, with roll cage and harness, is offered at no extra cost for the winged GT3.

Inside, the GT3 adopts a two-seat layout with sports seats, though new lightweight CFRP bucket seats are available. The cockpit design is familiar from the 911 range but includes GT-specific details such as a rotary ignition switch, Track Screen display mode, and optional roll cage. For drivers planning frequent circuit use, Porsche has added details like removable headrest padding for helmet clearance.

Porsche Design has also created GT3-specific chronographs available exclusively to owners. These watches feature titanium cases, flyback chronograph movements, and design cues drawn directly from the cars, including dials and rotors styled after GT3 instruments and wheels.

The Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 with Touring package are now available in Malaysia, with prices starting at RM2,290,000.

Porsche 911 S/T: Pertemuan Klasik dan Moden Dalam Warna Kuning Cerah

Dua buah Porsche 911 S/T yang dipisahkan lebih 50 tahun kini berdiri seiringan — sebuah model perlumbaan tahun 1972 dan versi moden 2024. Kedua-duanya disatukan oleh warna ikonik yang sama, Kuning Cerah, menjadi simbol kesinambungan legasi merentas generasi.

Model asal 1972 bermula sebagai 911 2.5 S/T dan mencatat kejayaan apabila memenangi kelas GT dalam perlumbaan 24 Hours of Le Mans tahun tersebut. Namun, selepas perlumbaan terakhir yang direkodkan pada 1975, kereta ini hilang daripada perhatian dunia.

Bertahun kemudian, ia ditemui semula di sebuah gudang di California dalam keadaan menyedihkan — berkarat, rosak, dan dilitupi cat yang tidak asli.

Two Generations of Porsche 911 S/T United by Colour and Craft

Two versions of the Porsche 911 S/T, separated by more than fifty years, now share the same garage: the original 1972 race car and the modern reinterpretation from 2024. Both are finished in Light Yellow, paint code 117, a colour that ties their very different stories together.

The first car began life as a 911 2.5 S/T and famously won its GT class at the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans. What happened afterwards is less certain. By the time it was discovered decades later in a barn near San Francisco, it was a wreck. Rust, accident damage, and layers of poor repainting had erased almost all traces of its past.

The last documented race was in May 1975 at Riverdale, with Don Lindley driving. After that, the trail disappeared until 2008, when clues pointed to its survival. In 2013, a Swiss collector travelled to California to recover what was left of the car and entrusted the restoration to Porsche Classic in Stuttgart.

Porsche Breaks Ground on Experience Centre Singapore – Opening in 2027

Porsche Asia Pacific has officially begun work on its first regional Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) in Singapore, set to open doors in 2027. When completed, it will be the 11th facility of its kind worldwide and a major landmark for the brand in Southeast Asia.

Built on a sprawling 14-hectare site right next to Changi Airport, the new centre is being designed as more than just a playground for petrolheads. It will serve as a destination for families and enthusiasts alike, combining adrenaline-filled driving activities with lifestyle elements and event spaces.

At the heart of the development will be a two-kilometre handling circuit, supported by dynamic zones such as a drift circle and drift handling track. Visitors can also expect world-first features, rotating exhibitions, authentic displays from the Porsche Museum archives, immersive simulators, and a range of food and beverage options.

The Experience Centre will also break new ground for Porsche by housing a fully integrated, high-capacity Aftersales facility—something not yet seen in other PECs. Sustainability is a central pillar of the project, with an extensive electric vehicle fleet and eco-conscious infrastructure, aligning neatly with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Baharu: Lebih Laju, Lebih Pintar, Lebih Berkuasa

Porsche 911 Turbo S sejak sekian lama dikenali sebagai kereta sport serba lengkap. Ia pantas, selesa digunakan setiap hari, sesuai untuk perjalanan jauh, dan hadir dengan eksklusiviti istimewa jenama Porsche. Kini, model terbaharu ini melangkah lebih jauh dengan kuasa lebih besar, kawalan lebih tajam, aerodinamik pintar serta sentuhan kemewahan yang dipertingkatkan.

Di tengah segalanya ialah enjin T-Hybrid baharu yang menghasilkan 711PS dan 800Nm tork, menjadikannya 911 paling berkuasa pernah dihasilkan. Dengan sistem hibrid ringan Porsche dan dua pengecas turbo elektrik, kereta ini memberi tindak balas segera tanpa sebarang kelewatan turbo lag.

Angka prestasi memang luar biasa: 0-100km/j hanya dalam 2.5 saat, kelajuan maksimum mencecah 322km/j, serta catatan masa 7 minit 3.92 saat di Nürburgring – iaitu 14 saat lebih pantas berbanding model sebelumnya.

Porsche 911 Turbo S: The Benchmark Gets Even Better

The Porsche 911 Turbo S has never been short of praise. Its predecessor was already regarded as the ultimate all-rounder – blistering performance mixed with everyday comfort, long-distance capability and that touch of exclusivity Porsche owners love. Now, the latest version takes things to a whole new level, delivering more power, sharper dynamics, smarter aerodynamics and an even more premium finish.

At the heart of it all is a brand-new T-Hybrid powertrain producing a staggering 711PS and 800Nm of torque, making this the most powerful production 911 ever built. Power is available across a wide rev range, with full output kicking in between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm.

The system uses Porsche’s 400V lightweight hybrid technology and two electric turbochargers – a step up from the single eTurbo setup that debuted in the Carrera GTS. This not only boosts outright performance but also sharpens throttle response, eliminating the lag often associated with turbocharged engines.
