We asked members of the Porsche community from around the world what Porsche means to them as the brand celebrates 75 years of making sportscars

“The Porsche community in Finland, just like it is all over the world, is like one big family. I like the atmosphere so much. We support each other and spend time together at events because we all enjoy driving and looking at fantastic cars. I’m really proud to be part of an incredible group of people who helped me make the decision to get one of the best cars in the world.”

The Porsche collector and Porsche community builder • Tenn Xoomsai, Thailand

“The most amazing thing for me about Porsche, other than the driving spirit, is the community that comes with it. You meet so many new, cool people that are like-minded. I’ll go on a vacation in Europe or America and if I see a guy parking a 911 I just walk up to him and start a conversation. It seems like every Porsche owner has their unique own story about why they love Porsche – like how they got into the brand, why they wanted a certain model or why they picked a particular colour.”

The Porsche racer and collector • Lisa Taylor, USA

“The 911 runs through my blood. I’ve driven one every day since 1982. Porsche is my life. Every single day is a Porsche day. Every weekend I’m taking a Porsche to a show, a cars and coffee event or going on a drive with collector friends. I don’t know what I would do without a Porsche – I’d be bored! I think Los Angeles and Orange County has the biggest Porsche community anywhere in the world. I can’t imagine life without a Porsche!”
