Dubai: 28,000 attendees at the fourth Icons of Porsche Festival

Posted on: November 29, 2024 Updated:

Icons of Porsche festival

The Icons of Porsche Festival will be held in Dubai's Design District over two days from November 23rd to 24th, 2024, and this year it is said to have attracted 28,000 people.

Apparently many celebrities and familiar faces from the Porsche world were in attendance.

Apparently many of the participants were members of Porsche clubs or other parts of the Porsche community, and in any case, the Icons of Porsche Festival, now in its fourth year, has already solidified its reputation as the largest automotive festival in the Middle East.

On Saturday, November 23rd, Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche AG, was also in attendance (for the second time).

Announced on November 22, 2024Manthey Kit for 911 GT3 RS (992)It has already appeared here too.

Oliver was not the only participant from Germany; there were also some rare cars from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Turbo model.

Also in attendance was current Formula E World Champion Pascal Wehrlein.

He appeared on the main stage with the Porsche 99X Electric in which he won the race.

I was also wondering who the next "familiar faces" might be, and when I saw the names, I immediately recognized them: Mark Webber and Jörg Bergmeister, the two Porsche ambassadors.

On the day before the event, Jorg also took part in a community drive of 200 vehicles up Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates.

The event is also amazing.

The festival venue was 44,000 square meters, which is about the size of the Tokyo Dome. It's huge! → The Tokyo Dome is 46,755 square meters.

The fairly large venue was bustling with live music, entertainment and more over the two-day weekend, and some of Dubai's most popular restaurants were on hand.

That's nice.

Among the restaurants that participated was the DRVN by Porsche cafe, which served a special menu for this festival, the "Cayenne Pepper Pizza".

I thought the price was probably "911 AED", but when I converted it to Japanese yen, it was about 38,000 yen. Hmm, that's too expensive. Even 91.1 is a bit expensive, so maybe it's not the right price...?

So, 71.8 AED (about 2,900 yen)? I wanted to make it a number that sounded like a Porsche, but the price of pizza usually served at the DRVN by Porsche cafe was around 55 AED (about 2,200 yen), so it wasn't quite right.

Is there something weird that bothers you (lol)?

Sonderwunsch's 911 Turbo Remastered auction

In addition, the 911 Turbo Remastered, a one-off Porsche by Sonderbunsch that was unveiled at the Icons of Porsche event last year, was unveiled again, and this year the car was put up for auction in collaboration with RM Sotheby's.

The auction had already ended a few days ago, so I checked the final winning bid and it was "$404,375." At the current exchange rate, that's about 60.64 million yen.

More than 300 media outlets from around the world participated in the Dubai event, and on the first day a popular local radio station, DubaiEye, even broadcast live from the festival venue.

I haven't been to Dubai yet, so I'd like to go there someday during this event.
