BHPian CEF_Beasts<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Every year on Friendship Day, Porsche Centre Mumbai holds a Friendship Day Drive for its customers in Mumbai. This Drive has been being organized for a few years now, but I came to know about it this year only and that too by sheer luck.<\/p>\n A few days before the Drive, Porsche Centre Mumbai (PCM) started posting “4 Days To Go”, “3 Days To Go” and so on, on their Social Media handles. Since I was following this, I initially thought the Infinity Group was opening another dealership in Mumbai. It was when I asked @porschein.india on Instagram what were these posts about did I came to know that it was a Drive organized by PCM and not a new dealership as I had earlier thought. Porsche India came through and sent the location and time of the event.<\/p>\n The assembling time was at 7:00 AM and Maker Maxity, Jio World Mall, BKC, was the Flag-off Venue. The group (Porsche Owners \/ PCM Customers) would then head for breakfast to Bandra. I attended the event till the flag-off took place (the scheduled time of the flag-off was 7:30 AM) and all cars had assembled at Maker Maxity, BKC.<\/p>\n A school friend of mine from Powai accompanied me and both of us reached the event at 7:15 AM in my car, by then many cars (Porsches) and spotters had already arrived.<\/p>\n PS: I am neither one of those famous Mumbai Car Spotters nor a Porsche Owner, so I apologize in advance if any picture is not up to the mark<\/p>\n The quality of some pictures has been degraded since I had to mask the plates of the cars, also I have a few videos of the cars during the flag-off, not sharing them to protect the privacy of the owners.<\/p>\n Porsche Taycan<\/strong><\/p>\n The torch-bearers of the Line-up when we reached were these two Taycans. As more and more cars arrived these Taycans were pushed back to the middle of the line-up while standing still.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Porsche Taycan Turbo S<\/strong><\/p>\n This Taycan Turbo S finished in Neptune Blue looked quite stellar!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Carrera S (997)<\/strong><\/p>\n The car which kicked off the drive was this cool Red 997 911 Carrera S.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Turbo (997)<\/strong><\/p>\n This Black 997 911 Turbo looked spectacular with BBS rims and red brake callipers!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Turbo (997)<\/strong><\/p>\n Another 997 911 Turbo was there but with the Techart Type 2 bumper. The Golden Yellow Metallic colour and Carbon-Fibre stripes on the bonnet and roof mimic the 2017 Exclusive Series 991 911 Turbo S that Porsche had launched.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 GT3 (991.1)<\/strong><\/p>\n This 991.1 911 GT3 bears the Martini Racing Livery and was present at Porsche\u2019s Festival of Dreams event as well. Has been really maintained well!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Carrera S (991.2)<\/strong><\/p>\n This particular 911 (992.1) Carrera S is finished in a very beautiful red colour and different from Guards Red.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Next up was this beautiful Gentian Blue Metallic (992.1) Carrera S with Gold wheels and Red brake callipers<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.1)<\/strong><\/p>\n The (992.1) Carrera S was a common sight at the event, this particular example was finished in Guards Red.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.1)<\/strong><\/p>\n The final (992.1) Carrera S was finished in Racing Yellow, the owner is a very popular gamer in the Indian Gaming Community \u201c8bit Thug\u201d IIRC.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.1)<\/strong><\/p>\n We reached the first 992.1 911 Turbo S in the lineup, and finished in a very tantalizing Ice Grey Metallic!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Another 911 (992.1) Turbo S painted in GT Silver Metallic with black stripes on the bonnet and a black roof.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche 911 GT3RS (991.2)<\/strong><\/p>\n This 911 GT3RS stole the entire show as soon as it arrived, the exhaust note, the aero bits, the way the \u2018Lizard Green\u2019 colour was popping, everything was just perfect!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Porsche Cayenne Turbo<\/strong><\/p>\n This Cayenne Turbo is finished in Dolomite Silver Metallic and the alloys complement the colour and car brilliantly!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Outro<\/strong><\/p>\n The event was organized fantastically, with everyone maintaining decorum and following the rules and regulations. The flag-off was delayed by 30 minutes but at such an event it’s expected.<\/p>\n A big thumbs up to Porsche Centre Mumbai (Infinity Group) for holding this event and letting ordinary people catch a glimpse of these superb cars. Porsche India held the “Festival of Dreams” event in Jan 2023, which I couldn’t attend since I was away at college, so this opportunity was a godsend for me! I hope the Infinity Group holds a similar drive for BMW owners as well, something which Navnit BMW does regularly.<\/p>\n The Cult Fitness Centre in Maker Maxity had fitness-seekers leave their Sunday Morning session to witness “Stuttgart in Mumbai”.<\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n
