2022 Icons of Porsche Festival @ Dubai

2022 Icons of Porsche Festival

An event called "Icons of Porsche" was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates for two days from November 26th to 27th, 2022.

It seems that 2021 was the beginning of this event last year, and at that time, 7,000 people participated in 2 days.

However, this time in 2022, the number of participants has reached 15,000 people from all over the world, more than double the number last year.

In just two years, the Icons of Porsche has become the largest automotive festival in the Middle East.

Although it is called an automobile festival, it does not mean that various manufacturers gather, but it is the largest event in the Middle East where only Porsche gathers, so you can see the popularity of Porsche in the local area.

In addition, many tourists, journalists and members of the Porsche Club from Europe and other continents participated, so it is sure to be an event that will continue to grow.

The theme is Safari Edition

At Icons of Porsche, many cars were displayed in five zones, but the main theme of this event is the Safari Edition, which is tailored to off-road adventure enthusiasts in the Middle East.

Given this, thisPorsche 911 Dakar will be announced just before the eventI think that the perfect time was planned for a long time in Porsche ^ ^

In fact, at this festival

• 911 Dakar
• 911 GT3 RS
• 911 Sport Classic

A regional premiere was also held.

Legendary racers Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, and six-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Jacky Ick also participated.

At this event, it seems that they were able to experience a thrilling ride in the latest Cayenne on a dedicated off-road track set up in the venue.

Speaking of Cayenne, the recently restored first generation Cayenne will also be on display as part of the 20th anniversary of Cayenne in the Middle East.

These first-generation restored Cayennes are also cool!

It may be difficult to use normally in Japan, but I thought that Cayenne would be very cool like this for off-road specifications (even just showing its appearance ^^).

Four classic Porsches from Germany's Porsche Museum to Dubai

From the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, four classic sports cars were transported all the way to Dubai and exhibited.

The following Porsches were brought from the Porsche Museum:

• 1986 Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar
• 1981 Porsche 911 C5 (SC) Sanremo
• 1981 Porsche 924 GTS Rally
• 1978 Porsche 911 SC Safari

In addition, there were many Porsches of local owners and Porsche club members in the exhibition hall, which was divided into five zones.

held at Fuji SpeedwayPorsche Garage with 300 PorschesI imagine that many Porsche owners would have gathered and enjoyed it like that ^ ^

Porsche camel art

There are various art exhibitions in this place, and among themChris Labrooy who announced the new Porsche art the other dayThere is also an art exhibition of "Safari Camel".

2023 Icons of Porsche dates

Due to the great success of this event and the desire to make it even bigger in the future, the schedule for next year has already been announced.

The reason why the next schedule was announced a year ago is because we would like many people to come to the event with the schedule in mind.

So, the next event will be held on November 18th and 19th, 2023, so if you are thinking about going, please adjust the schedule around here from now on.
