Currently Brand Director of VW Japan
After Philip von Witzendorf, the former president of Porsche Japan, became Vice President/COO of Porsche China, Hong Kong, and Macau in January 2025, there was no announcement of who would be the next president of Porsche Japan, and I was wondering what would happen.
It has finally been announced that Immo Buschmann (age 55) will become the new Representative Director of Porsche Japan on August 1, 2025.

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Since I got my hands on a Porsche 911, I've been completely hooked on Porsches and I can't stop loving them, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are the 911 Carrera (2/991), 911 Carrera Cabriolet & 911 Carrera T (1/992), GT3 (1/997) and 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
