Porsche celebrates 75 years of sportscars in Malaysia with a drive to Ipoh in the new Cayenne.
In 2023, Porsche marks a significant milestone, commemorating 75 years of sports cars and paying homage to its visionary founder, Ferry Porsche. As part of the celebration, Porsche Malaysia launched the locally-assembled Porsche Cayenne facelift model – made at the brand’s first local assembly facility outside of Europe. Last week, they organised a “Great Escape” drive in a convoy of new Cayennes across the scenic routes of Malaysia to Ipoh.
Porsche Driver Experience Redefined
A highlight of the Great Escape was the introduction of the Porsche Driver Experience, an intuitive display and control concept in the Cayenne. Enhancing safety, comfort, and driving experience, participants mapped their route on the Cayenne’s 12.3-inch central Porsche Communication Management (PCM) display before embarking on the journey.
Discovering Hidden Treasures
The journey took participants through picturesque landscapes, from long highways to snaking hillside B-roads. The Cayenne’s adaptive air suspension with 2-chamber, 2-valve technology ensured precise performance while maintaining comfort. A mid-point stopover by a serene blue lake showcased the Cayenne’s versatility, with a specially equipped model featuring a roof tent from Porsche Tequipment, exemplifying the potential for shared adventures with the Cayenne.
Memorable Moments in Ipoh
As the convoy approached Ipoh, with its blend of tradition and modernity, the Cayenne effortlessly navigated the city streets. The destination for dinner was a hidden gem—an ancient cave housing one of the city’s most renowned restaurants. Here, the group experienced the intersection of tradition and future, much like the Cayenne itself. Against the backdrop of an unforgettable sunset, Porsche’s original “sports car for five” added to the allure of this unique setting.
