Emma Raducanu signed a lucrative deal and has been appointed as the brand ambassador of Porsche post her US Open triumph. She fulfilled her childhood dream and is now a proud owner of the luxurious Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet. She had bought a secondhand Dacia Sandero car two years ago which was prized at around £5,000.

The Brit rose to fame with her victory at the US Open in 2021 but has failed to perform consistently on the Tour since then. She had been consistently bothered with a wrist injury that led to an early abrupt season. She failed to defend her US Open title and eventually fell out of the Top 50 in the WTA rankings.

Raducanu arrived for a practice session in her new silver car that has a red top. Her new ride offers a maximum speed of 192mph and can rack up 0-62mph in a frightening 3.6 seconds prized at £124,800. She recalled her first memory of the car and expressed her happiness.

She said in an interview that “My first memory was one of my coach’s 911s when I was young. Whenever I would turn up to practice, I would see his Porsche and it made me dream of one day sitting on my own. My favorite car is the 911 for sure. Throughout the generations, it’s so unique and beautiful in every way. I feel like it’s one of the most iconic cars that are out there.“
