On the back of the world premiere of the new Macan held at the futuristic Gardens by the Bay, Porsche put the city-state in the global spotlight by announcing that the 11th Porsche Experience Center worldwide will be built in Singapore.
Positioned strategically just 20 minutes away from Changi Airport, one of the world's busiest aviation hubs, and close to the upcoming Aviation Park MRT station along the planned Cross Island Line, the new Porsche Experience Center (PEC) Singapore will serve to add vibrance to the Changi Precinct.
It will also offer a range of thrilling activities for families and dynamic experiences for car enthusiasts both locally and within the Southeast Asian region. The PEC Singapore aims to be operational in 2027, the German firm announced in a recent media release.

The facility will also feature a fully integrated, high-capacity aftersales facility – a first-of-its-kind feature of any PEC worldwide.
Aligned with Porsche’s global commitment to work towards a net carbon-neutral value chain of its newly-produced vehicles in 2030, and in line with Singapore's Green Plan 2030 aimed at advancing sustainable development – the PEC Singapore fleet will feature a significant number of electric vehicles (EVs), offering an environmentally conscious and yet thrilling driving experience.
