Shanghai/Nanning. On 16 October 2020, Porsche Centre Nanning Xingning celebrates its official grand opening in Xingning Motor Zone, Jinlun Road, Xingning District, Nanning City. As the second authorised Porsche Centre in the city of Nanning, and the third in Guangxi province, the opening of this new Porsche Centre serves not only as a significant step in the continued expansion of Porsche into Guangxi, but also a milestone for the steady development of Porsche in the South China region, attesting to the great importance Porsche places on this market. Meanwhile, the new Porsche Centre will provide customers and surrounding regions with services that are not only convenient but of exceptionally high quality. Dr. -Ing Jens Puttfarcken, President and CEO of Porsche China; Mr. David Xiao, Chief Operating Officer of Porsche China; Mr. Michael Ramsey, Vice President Network Management and Development of Porsche China; Mr. Tiger Xu, Chairman of Mount Hero Motors Group; and Mr. Pancras Pong, General Manager of the Porsche Centre Nanning Xingning; along with many other guests and members of the media were onsite to witness this memorable moment together and get a first glimpse of the latest state-of-the-art technology on offer.

“Nanning is a strategic location for Porsche China's continued deepening of its development blueprint for South China. In recent years, with the construction of China’s ‘the Belt and Road Initiatives’, Nanning has become the leading city for open cooperation in the ASEAN region, with economic and cultural exchanges developing rapidly.” said Mr. David Xiao, Chief Operating Officer of Porsche China. “China became Porsche's first global market to gradually and cautiously step out of the shadow of the coronavirus, and has been Porsche‘s largest single market for the past five years. In the first six months of this year, Porsche delivered a total of 117,000 new cars to customers worldwide, of these deliveries more than a third came to China. We will continue this momentum and strive for even greater achivements. The successful establishment of the Xingning Nanning Porsche Centre is an important measure of this goal, allowing even more Porsche customers and enthusiasts here and in the surrounding regions to conveniently enjoy the best-in-class customer care and the exclusive Porsche brand experience. ”

Porsche Centre Nanning Xingning has been built to Porsche's global standards by Mount Hero Motors Group who have been one of Porsche‘s collaborative partners for several years, and is committed to providing fascinating products and meticulous experiences to its customers. It is spread across 10,389 square metres and equipped with 17 work bays, two direct dialogue bays and a state-of-the-art showroom that is capable of simultaneously displaying 14 Porsche sports cars. Additionally, Porsche Centre Nanning Xingning is equipped with Porsche's global standard testing equipment and special maintenance equipment. What’s more, every onsite Porsche technician has undergone rigorous training and screening, all in order to provide customers with a full-range of consulting and customisation services, and to create the ultimate bespoke sports car of their dreams.

Mr. Pancras Pong, General Manager of the Porsche Centre Nanning Xingning, said at the opening ceremony that, “As a key partner of Porsche in South China, we have great confi-dence in Porsche and great expectations for the Nanning and Guangxi region. As an authorised Porsche dealer, we insist on customer service of the highest quality, and we aim for the highest level of customer satisfaction. At the same time, it is our honour to actively contribute to the development of the local economy and society in the wave of consumption upgrades.”

Located in the south of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nanning is not only an ancient cultural city with a long history, but also a modern city where many ethnic groups, mainly the Zhuang, live in harmony. Nanning is an intersection for multi-regional cooperation, such as the Pan-Beibu Gulf Economic Cooperation, Great Mekong Subregion Cooperation, and Pan-Pearl River Delta Regional Cooperation. As a frontier city of China's opening-up and cooperation with ASEAN, Nanning is also the permanent host city for China-ASEAN Expo, and is an important gateway for China’s “Belt and Road Initiatives”. Naturally, it is also an area that Porsche has been paying close attention to. Adhering to a customer-centered concept, the new Porsche Centre will provide professional technology and high-level services for local customers, while conveying the cultural connotations of Porsche's constant innovation and pursuit of excellence.

Products are a core area of competency for the Porsche brand. At the end of September, the new Panamera made its offline premiere at the Beijing Auto Show with enhanced sportiness and comfort, and clocked a new official record in the “executive cars” class on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife. Porsche’s first fully-electric sports car Taycan series now has four derivatives available, ably covering wide market needs. The Taycan Turbo, Taycan Turbo S and Taycan 4S have been gradually delivered to Chinese customers. The Taycan rear-wheel drive will arrive at dealerships at the end of this year. The new 911 Targa has also taken its place in the eighth generation lineup of Porsche’s legendary 911 sportscar. Demonstrating its unique yet classic aesthetic, the new Targa is a boldly modern interpretation of refined taste and driving pleasure; it is highly sought after by driving enthusiasts for its timeless style and unmatched vision. In the future, Porsche will continue to bring its customer-oriented products and services to Chinese consumers.
