Over the weekend, more than 2,000 visitors came together for Porsche’s Sportscar Together Day at the Sepang International Circuit. Porsche owners and enthusiasts of all ages were present to celebrate the brand and its 70-year heritage.
Some of the highlights at the event were:
- The 911 GT3 Cup race cars from the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia
- All 8 generations of the Porsche 911
- The LMP1 Porsche 919 Hybrid
- A 1:3 Scale model of the Porsche Mission E
- A Porsche Junior Experience Programme for kids to ‘drive’ around on a customised miniaturised replica of the track
- A new Malaysian Record for ‘Largest Porsche Gathering’
That last one’s really significant. Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) managed to gather 320 cars together for a parade around the Sepang Circuit.
Sportscar Together Day was initiated last year as part of the brand’s 70th anniversary and looking at the success of this year’s celebration it may become a new tradition for the brand.
SDAP also took the opportunity to bring in the new Porsche Macan S and to launch their new 360 Leasing Programme. For more on this story, here’s the press release.

Porsche owners and enthusiasts were united in their celebration of the brand and heritage of Porsche. Featuring race cars, super cars and everyday sports cars, the family-friendly event catered to everybody of all ages and interests.
With over 2,000 visitors joining Porsche to celebrate Sportscar Together Day, droves of Porsche enthusiasts were treated to a closer look at Porsche’s iconic models in its 70-year heritage, including the 911 GT3 Cup race cars from Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, 8 generations of the 911, the 919 Hybrid and the Mission E 1:3 scale model.
