bahrainthismonth.com | AUGUST 2025 MOTORING 79 But it is about more than speed. “When you think about Porsche, the design, the integrity, the authenticity, it’s a feeling. I’ll be driving these cars for the rest of my life because it’s a feeling I’d never want to miss.” Enthusiasts Around The World For British automotive YouTuber Mr JWW (James Walker), the Porsche spark began young: “When I was growing up, I was into Formula One … the sound would affect me physically.” Driving a first‑generation 991 GT3 at the Crown Prince of Bahrain’s private track sealed it. “It became an obsession. I now daily drive a second‑generation 991 GT3 with 80,000 km, the thrill never fades. It feels like a friend.” For Kate Reid, a former F1 aerodynamicist turned pâtissier: “My dad restored vintage Porsches, so I grew up surrounded by them. I don’t think people buy a Porsche just to get from A to B. I get the greatest rush in my 911, and I felt the same with the Taycan on a road trip from Melbourne to Brisbane. Sharing that with a friend made it unforgettable.” Swiss content creator Liv adds a creative perspective: “I started memorising badges as a kid. Porsche balances creativity, design and performance. Driving the Taycan Turbo GT in the Austrian mountains was the perfect blend of my passions; creativity, nature and cars.” The Porsche Promise Nearly 50 years after it was first written, “There is no substitute” has become a belief shared by drivers across the world. It belongs to anyone who has ever felt that unique Porsche thrill. Because together, Porsche and its faithful followers carry it into the next generation.
