It has been a momentous year for Porsche Centre Kuwait! Not only did they achieve a 5 percent increase in new car deliveries, but they also ranked as the top performer in the GCC with the team winning the regional edition of Porsche’s Sales Excellence Award programme.
With strong demand for the Macan, Cayenne and 911, Porsche Centre Kuwait achieved a 5 percent increase in delivered 915 new cars. Despite the eighth generation of the all-new 911 only being introduced to the market mid-way through 2019, sales of the brand-icon exceeded the entire previous year’s number by 24 percent with 112 new units sold. Equally, customer orders of the new Macan saw its popularity continue to rise with 411 units sold, marking a 63 percent increase, while the Cayenne was boosted by the arrival of the new Coupé derivative to account for 34 percent share of Porsches sold.

Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0
Creating further excitement this year, enthusiasts in Kuwait will be able to order the latest performance orientated sports cars. This includes the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 mid-engine models, with 400 hp generated from the four-liter horizontally opposed, six-cylinder engine. Both models represent sports car driving in its purest form with a six-speed manual transmission and a naturally-aspirated engine that develops up to 7,800 rpm. New additions to the range will also include the Macan GTS, a model that will get you to 100 km/h in less than five seconds, with a top speed of 261 km/h. The latest derivative will join the Macan S and Macan Turbo in the compact SUV range by offering an ideal blend of comfort, sporty design features and impressive performance.
Porsche Taycan
Set to draw high levels of interest amongst Porsche enthusiasts and sports car fans in Kuwait is the arrival of the all-new Taycan, which will be offered in Turbo, Turbo S and 4S derivatives. The brand’s first fully-electric model offers a zero-emission luxury saloon to the market in the way only Porsche knows how, with impressive performance, a low driving position and a two-speed transmission available. With a 0-100 km/h time of 2.8 seconds from the Turbo S that equals the 911 GT2 RS and a range of 450 km (WLTP verified) from the 4S, the Taycan models are set to re-write the rule book for zero emission performance motoring.
“This year will see the arrival of the all-new, fully electric Taycan on our shores. This model will change peoples’ perceptions about the performance of electric sports cars. We are also especially excited about the ongoing work on our new facility, Porsche Centre Shuwaikh, which will revolutionize the customer experience in the future,”
