Porsche chose the island’s most turbocharged week to reveal the finalised design and concept of the future Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) Singapore via an island-wide “Raceborn” activation that nods to seven decades of motorsport obsession.
If you’re going to talk about DNA, you might as well do it when the whole city is already wearing earplugs.
A rolling love letter: Renndienst, reborn
Off-track, Porsche is sending enthusiasts hunting for a slice of history with a Volkswagen T1 ‘Kombi’ dressed in classic Renndienst (Race Service) colours. Back in the day, these vans shadowed Porsche race cars from the Nürburgring to the Targa Florio and Mille Miglia, crammed with spares, tools and a whiff of espresso.
This time, the mission is less spanners and more stories: the van tours Singapore distributing a limited-edition Raceborn publication, free for anyone quick enough to grab one.
Crack it open and you’ll find a greatest-hits remix: legendary liveries from La Sarthe, the trickle-down from racetrack to road, origin stories behind today’s model lines and a spotlight on Asia-Pacific racers who’ve made the brand’s crest dance.
The first full look at PEC Singapore
The centrepiece of Raceborn is exactly what the faithful came for, a first look at the final concept renders for PEC Singapore, set to open in 2027.
A Porsche world-first “drive-through track experience” design is included. Drivers will spear through the building before firing into an accelerating curve and onto the main straight.
“We are immensely proud that PEC Singapore will mark a milestone for Porsche in the region and set new benchmarks with many unique and world-first features for all its visitors. This development truly reflects the spirit of innovation and passion that defines Porsche, and we are excited to see this vision come to life.”
Mr. Marc Beil, Senior Manager Porsche Experience at Porsche Asia Pacific.
The circuit sketches tease more craft than chaos:
- A technical double S-curve that rewards patience on the racing line.
- A dynamic handling area for emergency manoeuvres—because skill isn’t only for Sundays.
- A low-friction course and drift circle to teach the language of understeer and oversteer without the usual tuition bill.
- A banked corner capable of up to 1.4 lateral g, which is plenty for your neck muscles to pen a complaint letter.
All told, it reads like a driver development playground with a concierge.
“Once a year with the iconic F1 night race, Singapore becomes the region’s motorsport hotspot. We are immensely proud to further extend Singapore’s standing with the final design of the highly-anticipated Porsche Experience Centre Singapore. It is set to be where Porsche’s motorsport DNA meets unique driving experiences and vibrant community celebration. With this week’s Raceborn showcase, we want to seize the opportunity to spark curiosity and connect with enthusiasts across Singapore and the region, as we lead up to the grand opening in 2027.”
Mr. Yannick Ott, Director of Marketing at Porsche Asia Pacific.
