20 gleaming Porsche Taycan sports cars were lined up at Laguna National Golf Resort Club in Singapore, creating a remarkable moment as Porsche Singapore proudly handed them over to the DP World Tour Porsche Singapore Classic 2024 as official shuttle vehicles for the tournament.

The picturesque setting at the 17th hole of the course provided a breathtaking backdrop for Andre Brand, General Manager of Porsche Singapore, to hand over the cars to Patrick Bowers, Executive Championship Director of the tournament.

With only days before the tournament begins, Singaporean golf enthusiasts can look forward to spotting these specially decorated official shuttle vehicles on the road.

Here’s the Taycan fact sheet in brief. Rear-wheel drive, 326hp or 380hp depending on spec, with 408hp in over-boost mode with Launch Control. 0-100km/h in just 5.4 seconds, with a top speed of 230km/h. Five to 80% battery charge takes just 22.5 minutes at the maximum charge rate of 225kW.

The DP World Tour Porsche Singapore Classic 2024 from 21–24 March promises to be an electrifying showcase of golfing prowess and sportsmanship.

As one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the region, it attracts top players from around the world to compete on the challenging Classic Course at Laguna National Golf Resort Club in Singapore, with famous names such as Rasmus Højgaard, Tom McKibbin and Yannik Paul confirmed to be attending.

The trio will be joined by 2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry, Japan’s Rikuya Hoshino, who won his maiden DP World Tour title at last month’s Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, and Asian stars Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Gavin Green and Li Haotong.

Singapore will be represented by three golfers – Nicklaus Chiam, Joshua Yap and amateur Irvyn Tan qualified for the US$2,500,000 Porsche Singapore Classic last month.

“We are thrilled to partner with Porsche Singapore for this prestigious kick-off on the DP World Tour’s ‘Asian Swing’,” said Mr Patrick Bowers, Executive Championship Director of the Porsche Singapore Classic 2024.
