This year, the Laguna National Golf Resort Club’s Classic Course is set to welcome some of the world’s finest golfers.

Among them is Porsche Brand Ambassador Paul Casey, alongside two-time 2024 US PGA Tour winner Robert MacIntyre and Major champion Jimmy Walker. 

Any golfer landing an ace on the 17th hole will drive home in a Taycan Turbo S in Oak Green Metallic.

Fans at the tournament can put their skills to the test in the Porsche Taycan Challenge, with a lucky few earning the chance to take part in a final shootout for the grand prize.

Luxury on and off the course is the name of the game. The tournament’s Executive Championship Director, Patrick Bowers, personally took delivery of the first of 20 courtesy cars from Andre Brand, General Manager of Porsche Singapore.

“We are excited to support the 2025 Porsche Singapore Classic again with these 20 Taycan and Cayenne sports cars as the official courtesy cars,” said Brand. “We are proud to start our players’ journeys with a luxurious welcome to Singapore.”  

Throughout the tournament week, the fleet of Taycans and Cayennes will be on the move, whisking players between the golf course and their accommodations in effortless style. Each vehicle is marked with official Porsche Singapore Classic signage.

After the event, select vehicles from the tournament fleet will be available for purchase, giving fans a chance to own a piece of this prestigious sporting affair.

Porsche’s deep ties to the sport date back to 1988 with the Porsche Golf Cup, a tournament series that has grown into a global phenomenon.

Over 16,000 Porsche customers recently participated in 229 worldwide qualifying tournaments, making it one of the most successful customer events in the brand’s history. 

With a star-studded line-up, world-class competition, and Porsche’s unmistakable touch of luxury, the 2025 Porsche Singapore Classic is set to be an unmissable spectacle.

“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment,” says Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. “Mid-decade, the fourth generation will set new standards as an electric SUV.”

The current Porsche Cayenne, which recently received one of the most extensive upgrades in Porsche’s history, is set for further development.

The focus will be on enhancing the powertrains, particularly the efficiency of the V8 engine crafted at the Zuffenhausen plant. These upgrades will ensure the twin-turbo engine meets future legislative requirements.

The fourth-generation Porsche Cayenne is rumoured to use the advanced Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture. “We’re going to use the potential of electrification to elevate the Cayenne to new heights,” says Michael Steiner, Porsche’s Executive Board Member for Research and Development.

After extensive digital development and testing, the first camouflauged prototypes of the all-electric fourth-generation Porsche Cayenne have hit the road. “Real-world testing has begun, marking a crucial milestone,” says Michael Schätzle, Vice President of the Cayenne Product Line.

“These prototypes will cover millions of test kilometres under extreme conditions to ensure durability and reliability. This rigorous testing guarantees the hardware, software, and all functions meet our high standards,” Schätzle adds.

Stay tuned for more news.

In a year marked by significant product launches, Porsche has managed to maintain stable sales figures in the first half of 2024. Between January and June, the German manufacturer handed over 155,945 vehicles to customers worldwide, reflecting a moderate 7 percent decrease compared to the previous year.

The brand is currently updating five of its six model series – Cayenne, Panamera, Macan, Taycan, and 911 – which has led to temporary gaps in availability in certain markets. 

Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG, stated, “With the most powerful model range in the company’s history, we are sending out a clear signal. Our customers can rely on us. Even in a globally challenging market environment, we deliver inspiring sports cars with unique performance, many innovations, and a high degree of individualisation.”

The Porsche Cayenne led the charge with 54,587 units delivered in the first half of the year, marking a 16 percent increase. The Macan followed with 39,167 deliveries, an 18 percent decrease due to the model changeover in various markets.

Von Platen noted, “The new all-electric generation of the SUV recorded a very pleasing order intake. The first vehicles will be handed over to customers in the second half of the year.”

The iconic 911 continued to deliver, with 28,212 units sold worldwide, an 8 percent increase. The Panamera saw 13,255 deliveries, a 25 percent decline due to the current model transition.

Similarly, the Taycan experienced a significant drop, with 8,838 deliveries, reflecting a 51 percent decrease. The 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman models saw an 8 percent increase, with 11,886 units delivered.

Von Platen concluded, “In 2024, we will put the most powerful Porsche product portfolio of all time on the road. We will continue to focus on a triad of drive systems: fully electric vehicles, efficient plug-in hybrids, and emotional combustion engines.”

Porsche Singapore has just set up an outdoor display with a very special car. Dubbed the Roughroads exhibit, this display features the formidable 911 Dakar, a gem that draws its inspiration from the legendary 1984 Dakar-winning Porsche 911.

The 911 Dakar stands proudly thanks to its savvy lift system. It’s tailored for those who dare to venture off the beaten track. Moreover, this 911 Dakar comes equipped with reinforced underbody protection and sturdy steel tow hooks at both ends, ready to tackle whatever rugged roads may throw its way. 

Under the hood, a 3.0-litre flat-six engine delivers 473bhp, zipping to 100km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds. For those looking to gear up further, there’s an option to add a roof rack, additional headlights, and other off-roading kit.

Now, if your adventures lean more towards the luxurious, the Porsche Cayenne on display, equipped with a Porsche Tequipment Roof Tent, offers a cosy retreat into nature without leaving behind the comforts of home.

Imagine settling into a high-density polyfoam mattress under breathable cotton-blend walls, stars twinkling above as you recount the day’s journey – bliss, isn’t it?

And it’s not just about the cars. The Porsche Studio is dishing out a specially curated menu at the Cafe Carrera to complement the rugged theme. Treats like the Truffle Trek pizza and the Flame-Grilled Steak Sandwich promise to satiate your hunger after a day of automotive indulgence.

Whether you’re a die-hard Porsche fan or just looking for a unique weekend outing, this Roughroads exhibition is set to be a delightful experience.

Location: Porsche Studio Singapore at 130 Beach Rd, #01-12, Singapore 189774

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill refresh; as Michael Schatzle, Vice President of the Cayenne product line at Porsche, puts it, “It’s one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche.”

Now, at first glance, you might think, “Hold on, this looks just like the old Cayenne!” But here’s the thing: let’s zoom in and take a closer look.

The first sign of change? Those new headlights. Porsche equipped the Cayenne with Matrix LED headlights as standard, with the option of upgrading to HD Matrix headlights. These four-module arrays add a touch of sophistication to the front end, a design tweak that’s making waves across the Porsche lineup.

While the headlights steal the show, there’s more going on under the Cayenne’s skin. The front bumper has been reshaped, the bonnet refined, and the wings get a bit more muscle. Plus, the tailgate? It’s sleeker than ever, thanks to a clever relocation of the license plate to the rear bumper. Less clutter, more style.

Porsche has been hard at work under the hood and chassis too. The Cayenne now boasts new shock absorbers with two-valve technology, promising a smoother ride at slower speeds and enhanced handling when you’re carving those corners.

And for those seeking the ultimate in comfort and control, there’s the option of adaptive air suspension, featuring the same two-chamber, two-valve tech for that perfect blend of poise and plushness.

Now, let’s slip into the Cayenne’s cabin. Porsche has borrowed a page from the Taycan’s playbook with the Porsche Driver Experience cabin display and control system. You’ll find a gracefully curved 12.6-inch instrument cluster paired with a 12.3-inch Porsche Communication Management infotainment system.

And guess what? Spotify and Apple Music come preloaded, so you can set the soundtrack for your Cayenne adventures.

Porsche knows you love options. There’s a 10.9-inch display for the front passenger, perfect for displaying performance data or offering separate control over the infotainment system. The transmission selector lever has also made its way to the dashboard, freeing up console space for your odds and ends.

The Cayenne lineup kicks off with a 349bhp 3.0-litre V6, a formidable heart for this beast. But if you’re craving more power, the Cayenne S steps up with a 468bhp 4.0-litre V8, ready to unleash some serious fun.

Porsche doesn’t shy away from electrification. You’ve got the Cayenne E-Hybrid, combining a 3.0-litre V6 with an electric motor for a robust 464bhp. And for the power-hungry, there’s the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, also rocking a 3.0-litre V6 and electric motor combo but with a mighty 512bhp punch. Both of these plug-in hybrids sport a 25.9kWh battery and offer an all-electric range of up to 90km.

But the crown jewel? That’s the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, a true beast in the lineup. It boasts a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 linked to a beefy 174bhp electric motor, delivering a jaw-dropping combined 730bhp.

And for those who like choices, you can have any of these flavours in either SUV or coupe form. But if you’re eyeing that Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, there’s a special treat – the GT Package, exclusively available with the coupe body.

It adds black accents, carbon side plates, and a titanium exhaust system from the Cayenne Turbo GT. Plus, it drops the ride height by 10mm, throws in the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake system, and spices things up with all-wheel steering.

The Cayenne’s rebirth. Subtle on the outside, but packs a punch where it counts. Porsche’s not reinventing the wheel here; they’re refining it.

And now, more than 2 decades later, the Cayenne is now in its third generation. Hard to imagine now, but when the car was introduced to the world back in 2002, it went down like a cup of cold sick. No one had anticipated such a big and lumbering performance vehicle to appear in the Porsche range, which was always well-known for its light and agile sports cars.

But, since then the world has caught the SUV bug, and this viral disease has more or less swept through every automaker there is. Everyone is doing SUVs these days, and the Cayenne took the hits so that everyone else could cash in later.

This is the model that pays all the bills, and if it means we get to keep fun performance models like the 911 away from the butcher’s knife for a little bit longer, then pragmatically speaking I’m all for it. 

Does it drive like a Porsche though?

The Cayenne is clearly no dedicated sports car, but it doesn’t bring shame on the badge. You wouldn’t expect any different from the company that’s spent the best bit of 70-odd years perfecting a rear-engine, rear-drive sports car format that shouldn’t work as well as it does.

I’ve always preached that if you want to enjoy your drive then you should steer well clear of the SUV aisle and get yourself a nice performance station wagon (or estate, if you’re not from around these parts). But, the Cayenne is the exception that proves the rule, showing up all of the competition.

For this, we can thank German mechanical voodoo, or at the very least a shedload of technology usually reserved for higher-end sports cars. But, if you really want to stop the Cayenne from succumbing to its size and heft you’re going to have to pay for it on the spec list, and the available tech list is massively impressive and dizzyingly expensive.

The optional three-chamber air suspension means there’s a genuinely noticeable change between comfy modes and sporty ones, not just in terms of body control but in ride comfort on the never-ending undulating construction-laden roads in Singapore. This is thanks in part to a 48V anti-roll system that allows the body to stay more level through corners, reducing weight transfer and disguising the car’s overall heft.

You could also opt for Porsche’s Active Suspension Management (PASM), which actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on road conditions and individual driving style. Fancy words that basically translate to you wringing it around a corner with ease.

These are complex and expensive ways to disguise over two tonnes of car, and you’re always aware of the forces they’re fighting against. Credit’s where it’s due though, they really work. If you want your Cayenne to drive like a thoroughbred Porsche, it’s money well spent. If you just want a fancy badge on the front of your city cruiser, perhaps the case is less strong. Save the money for some leather upgrades instead.

The Cayenne does look great in 21-inch low-profile tyres, as pictured here, but they do compromise it a little, with some larger bumps sending nasty jolts into the cabin. What the low profile tyres are good for, are corners. Especially if you want to take them at more enthusiastic speeds.

The Cayenne opts for control rather than sumptuous plushness. The ride is firmer than in most rivals, but that’s the trade-off for the crisper handling. You’ll get used to it in no time, but it’s worth being aware of. Body control, on the other hand, is exemplary.

For Singapore, the base Cayenne only receives one engine variant – a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 with 340 bhp and 450Nm of torque on tap. It’s a shame that we didn’t get the PHEV or top-of-the-line variant from Germany, but the V6 still displays a valiant effort in providing enough oomph from the get-go.

The engine is a smooth operator and delivers power linearly across the powerband. Coupled with the 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox and all-wheel drive, and you get a lumbering giant that can win most impromptu traffic light drag races. All full chat, both the SUV and Coupe can rock the century sprint  in a brisk 6.2 seconds, continuing to climb to a maximum of 245km/h.

Why a Tiptronic rather than Porsche’s double-clutch PDK? Porsche spec-ed it this way because it’s handier for towing horseboxes and speedboats… which is the sort of thing that Cayenne buyers like to do, outside of Singapore.

Environmentally minded? You probably shouldn’t be looking at two-tonne SUVs. With a big lumbering V6 under the hood, fuel economy won’t be fantastic. My average consumption was a comical 4.9km/litre, and you will probably be well acquainted with your fuel attendants while owning this.

Meaner and Sleeker

With each generation, the Porsche Cayenne receives fresh plastic surgery, and this third iteration is arguably the best looking too.

Buyers are getting more options too, as there’s now even a coupe version of the Cayenne, which offers basically the same package but with a slightly lower roofline and a sleeker, albeit less useful rear end.

The Cayenne was, and still is to me, the OG luxury SUV. Even though it has gotten new looks and updated sleekness, it still retains its quintessential high riding and regal masquerade. With almost everything coming in at additional cost, you can spec your Cayenne with loads of different upgrades, including a Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and Lightweight Sport packages.

The aforementioned large 21-inch rims give the Cayenne road presence, and the design cumulates in a stout rear end. I actually prefer the SUV variant more, as the high roofline gives it nice proportions. But, to each their own.

The Cayenne has a winning formula going for it, being a pioneer of the SUV space. People know what it is, and people respect it.

Ol’ Familiar

The Porsche Cayenne’s interior manages the difficult balance of being a recognisable Porsche cockpit without being too obnoxiously sporting. This SUV has a different remit, after all, to Porsche’s sportier 911 and 718 models.

Both models are identical on the inside, save for the tapered roofline on the Coupe. There’s a great ambience inside the Cayenne, with a definite solidity and feeling of quality. Your touchpoints are packed with lush materials and premium trinkets, giving you the reassurance that your hard-earned money went to something nice.

You get an analogue clock too on the dashboard, which adds a layer of class to the business class interior. This is the default option, but you can customise the timepiece should you have additional cash to splash.

A myriad of quick-set toggles is presented to you on the centre console, tucked underneath a glassy panel with illuminated icons rather than traditional push buttons. Touch one and you get a little haptic buzz from the accepted input. In practice, the lower set of buttons does not work as well, as I often pressed multiple settings at the same time due to the close proximity.

The upper buttons are fine, but repeatedly touching these panels leave ghastly fingerprint marks on the glass panel, so have a nice cloth on standby. There’s also voice control via a button you can find on one of the steering wheel stalks. It’s supposedly intelligent, so tell it you’re too hot and it’ll turn down the temperature and give you a blast of cold air.

Speaking of temperature, you still get physical switches to adjust the climate control fan speed and temperature – a very welcome sight and makes operation a breeze. The media volume and scroll dial are also rotary dials, and they are finished in a nice corrugated metal finish. A stubby gear shifter sits front and centre, alongside an electronic parking brake button.

The infotainment touchscreen running Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is responsive and easy to navigate, with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto connecting easily in a hitch. There is no wireless charger, but you get a pair of type-C ports for charging in the centre glove box.

Behind the steering wheel, you’ve got a physical dial in the centre of the instrument panel flanked by two digital screens. Porsche stuck with its renowned 5-dial cluster, albeit now with digital screens flanking both sides of the tachometer. These screens can be toggled to show other settings too, like a G-force meter and navigation.

The steering wheel feels great in the hands, with the indentations helpful should you wish to get a bit physical around corners. It is also wrapped in sleek leather. The quick function buttons may look slightly outdated, but I’m all for it if it means they are easier to operate whilst driving. You also get metal paddle shifters to cycle through your 8-speed gearbox, and each click is a satisfying clunk.

Big, but dated

Crucially there’s decent room for everyone – you’ve got good space for five people and it’s extremely comfortable for four. Rear occupants also get a set of controls for rear HVAC functions, alongside another pair of type-C ports and 12V for juicing up devices. The cabin is well insulated too, and you feel essentially detached from the outside world.

A large panoramic sunroof floods natural light into the space, giving it an airy ambience. All of that space doesn’t intrude into the cargo area too, giving you 772 litres of space; 1,708 litres with the seats down. Obviously, if you go for the Coupe version you’re going to have to bear in mind the 20mm lower roofline, shaving off 150 litres from your total boot capacity.

Rear cameras are crisp and clear, one of the best I’ve seen in recent times. Spec up the front and rear sensors alongside the 360 camera, and parking manoeuvres transform into effortless tasks, despite the car’s heft.

It’s all reasonably easy to get on with but is a bit busy inside compared with newer, sleeker rivals. This generation of Cayenne, launched in 2017 is getting on a bit, and even though we just received news on a new facelift, we’ll have to wait for at least 2025 to get a new fourth-generation model.

The OG

The Cayenne remains the king of driver-friendly SUVs. With the fancy tech and effort that Porsche has put into maintaining its sports car-esque facade, it’s easy to forget that you’re piloting a big lumbering SUV.

It’s engaging to drive, offering great levels of comfort and refinement, while its excellent build quality maintains its status quo as an upmarket cruiser. Throw in the kudos of the Porsche badge and you have a set of prestige family wheels that covers every base.

Whether you’re keen on the SUV or the sleeker Coupe, you can drive out of the showroom knowing you made a sound purchase.

Porsche has recently updated its Cayenne lineup, bestowing the model with a tech refresh as well as improvements to its handling and performance. “It’s one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche,” says Michael Schätzle, Vice President, Cayenne Product Line.

A Driver-focused Experience

To make drivers feel more engaged while at the wheel, Porsche has integrated a completely revised display and control concept into the new Cayenne. Dubbed the latest iteration of the Porsche Driver Experience, this was first introduced in the Porsche Taycan, and focuses on streamlining driver functionality in the vehicle.

Functions that a driver may potentially use frequently are located directly on or immediately next to the steering wheel. This enables key controls to be within easy reach, while also making room on the new centre console for storage compartments and a larger HVAC controller. I really appreciate the mechanical switches and dials, as opposed to clumping every little function onto a screen.

This is actually a key feature of the new Porsche Driver Experience, where designers are targeting the right balance between digital and analogue elements.

The driver’s instrument cluster is now a fully digital 12.6-inch curved display, with a head-up display available as an add-on option. For infotainment and other settings, a 12.3-inch Porsche Communication Management (PCM) display now blends seamlessly into the new dashboard. Native apps such as Spotify^® and Apple Music^® are provided to optimise connectivity in the new Cayenne.

If two screens aren’t enough for you, a new 10.9-inch display is now available for the passenger side. Performance driving data can be displayed here, or it can provide separate access to the infotainment system controls and, depending on the market, the option of streaming video content on the road. A special foil ensures that the driver cannot see this display, so no peeking whilst you are driving.

Porsche has also introduced an air quality system in the new Cayenne. With the standard fittings, the vehicle uses predictive navigation data to detect approaching tunnel entrances and automatically activates air recirculation.

Optionally, an additional sensor detects the level of fine dust particles in the air and passes it through a fine dust filter multiple times if necessary. Furthermore, an ioniser works in tandem to remove germs and pollutants from the air. If you live in densely populated areas, this might be a good option to add.

The Cayenne also now comes with a comprehensive range of new and optimised assistance systems. Drivers can utilise the active speed limiter, swerve assist, cornering assist, and the improved Porsche InnoDrive as part of the adaptive cruise control suite. Perfect should you encounter jams while on your journey. 

Park Assist is also on hand to aid drivers with parking. The system includes a reversing camera alongside front and rear sensors as standard.

Refined Exterior

The new Porsche Cayenne has also received some exterior updates. A new front end design with arched wings, bonnet and standard Matrix LED headlights give the car some much needed muscle appeal. The rear end is now cleaner overall too, thanks to three-dimensional designed tail lights, a new rear apron and an uncluttered rear diffuser zone.

Customers can also opt for three new colours, optional lightweight sports packages, and a new extensive range of 20, 21, and 22-inch wheels, so you can be sure your new Cayenne will be unique to you.

Packs a punch when you want it to

Porsche now equips the Cayenne with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard, enabling optimised performance in all driving situations.

For those who yearn for more, an optional adaptive air suspension with 2-chamber, 2-valve technology can be specified, improving the overall driving experience. The adaptive air suspension improves driving precision and performance, reducing body movements in dynamic driving situations. 

Did someone say more power?

The new Cayenne will arrive with three different engine variants. The base model comes with a 3-litre V6 turbo engine that pumps out 348bhp and 500Nm of torque.

The 6-cylinder heart also forms the petrol base for the powertrain of the Cayenne E-Hybrid. Working in tandem with a new electric motor that has been improved to pump out 174bhp, the combined output has now increased to 463bhp. A new 25.9 kWh battery offers up to 90 kilometres of electric range (WLTP). Plus, a new 11 kW on-board charger now shortens charging time to less than two and a half hours despite the bigger battery capacity. 

Instead of downsizing, a refinement of the 4-litre V8 bi-turbo engine now replaces the previous V6 configuration in the Cayenne S. With a maximum output of 468bhp and 600Nm of torque, it can complete the century sprint in just 4.7 seconds, rocking up all the way to 273 km/h.
