Great news for petrolheads here: Porsche's planned S$100m experience centre opens in Changi in 2027.
But it won't just be a place for driving fun.
Porsche APAC CEO Hannes R. told us that the centre will target the region, including transiting tourists from China, Australia and India.
It's also open to renting out the venue - track and all - to other car brands.
As an experience centre alone, I doubt Porsche could recoup the costs of setting up. But as an aftersales location, lifestyle and event space, it's far more worth the investment.
In a historical footnote, petrol heads will be happy that there's finally a facility that caters to dynamic driving in Singapore.
Porsche stops short of calling it a racing track, but I guess it'll be a lot more fun than driving around a carpark.
Back in 2007, the planned Changi Motorsports Hub would have been the first permanent racing track in Singapore and there was even talks of holding a MotoGP race there. That failed big time.
Given Porsche's track record, this project is far less likely to go off piste.
