Last Weekend, Porsche Malaysia via their authorised distributors Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) introduced the New 360 Leasing programme at the Sportscar Together Day which was held at the Sepang Circuit. Sime Darby Auto Performance’s first Sportscar Together Day also set a new Malaysian Record where the 'Largest Porsche Gathering' in Malaysia recorded 320 Porsche cars on the circuit. I think it was one of the most epic traffic jams in the history of the Sepang Circuit.
The first Sportscar Together Day in Malaysia brought together Porsche fans and enthusiasts, with over 2,000 people attending. Interesting displays and drive displays included the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars from Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, all 8 generations of the 911, the 919 Hybrid and the Mission E 1:3 scale model on display for all to see. The Fascination Porsche showcase held at the Paddock area provided insights into the past and future of Porsche.
Adding to the events of the day, SDAP also took the opportunity to launch and preview the new 2019 Porsche Macan S to the Malaysia market. The newest variant of the Macan series of compact crossover Porsche is now in the country. It is powered by a new 3.0liter V6 turbocharged engine which makes 354hp and 480Nm torque.
The price of the new Macan S starts from RM625,000 before any insurance. Notable features of the Macan S includes comfort and luxury features under the Premium Package include 14-way power seats, comfort lighting package, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist including reversing camera, automatic dimming mirrors, and BOSE Surround Sound System are made available as standard to enhance overall driving experience for both the driver and passenger. We shall talk about this in another more focused article about this SUV - Launch Article is HERE.
Back to the Sportscar Together Day - It was actually a very good look into everything Porsche. From the customer cars out in the parking lot and later on track for the record gathering, to the many activities for all ages, including children, the event was memorable. This was especially to those that participated in the Porsche Experience, which allowed people to try out the latest Porsche vehicles in a handling circuit as well as those lucky ones on track in the new Porsche 911 Carrera S and 4S. Even Parents who signed their child up for the Porsche Junior Experience programme walked away proud of their child’s achievements on the customised replica of Sepang International Circuit.

Christopher Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby Auto Performance, said, “Celebrating our first 'Sportscar Together Day' in Malaysia is a momentous occasion for us. We are thrilled to be able to share the experience of driving a Porsche with more people than ever before, or even for new enthusiasts to start their journey with Porsche with the introduction of our new 360 Leasing programme.”
Speaking about the Porsche 360 Leasing Programme, which should make Porsche ownership a dream come true to some (with less hassle), here is the official press release on it. Of course, one should just head to their official website or just head over to the nearest Porsche showroom for more details...
Modern mobility options with the Porsche 360 Leasing programme
Sharing more joy and fascination, Sime Darby Auto Performance introduced its latest
financing solution, the 360 Leasing programme, another alternative to drive the latest
Cayenne and Panamera, while the option for the new Macan through 360 Leasing
will be shared soon.*
“The new 360 Leasing programme is another initiative in our continuous effort to offer
customers alternative mobility solutions, without being weighed down by the
financing commitment or the resale value of their vehicle,” explained Christopher
Hunter.
The new 360 Leasing programme is an intelligent alternative to conventional
ownership models via financing and provides customers and companies the financial
flexibility to drive away with a new Porsche every three years with only a 10 percent
or 25 percent refundable security deposit (for company lease or individual lease
respectively) based on the selected vehicle value. Customers are required to pay
only the monthly lease rental during the three-year lease tenure, which provides
customers the opportunity to invest or save their funds that would otherwise be spent
on owning the entire cost of the car.
At the end of the lease term, customers have the option to either upgrade their
current leased Porsche model to another to enjoy a different driving experience, or
upgrade to the latest model in the same range. Customers who have grown
accustomed to and love their current model can also opt to extend their lease or
potentially acquire ownership of their leased vehicle. Alternatively, they could also
decide to return the leased vehicle without worrying about residual value or any
additional commitments**.
As part of the peace-of-mind ownership, Porsche vehicles under the 360 Leasing
programme come equipped with warranty and maintenance package including
service, parts and labour by an authorised Porsche Service Centre. The competitive
pricing under this programme also includes a full comprehensive insurance package
for all drivers, inclusive of windscreen and natural disaster cover, as well as road tax.
Additionally, customers will enjoy 24-hour roadside assistance offered by Porsche
Assist in the event of any emergency.
* Terms and conditions apply
**Except for any potential excess mileage charges and the vehicle being subject to
fair wear and tear
