The 718 models were made for the sport of it. They are mid-engined roadsters that unite the sporting spirit of the legendary Porsche 718 with the sports car of tomorrow – and transfer it to the roads of today’s world.
A timeless design, a contemporary interpretation. The unmistakable silhouette of the 911 is characterised by its iconic flyline. It has barely changed since 1963, and has shaped the DNA of all Porsche models.
The soul has many facets. It is variable, constantly in motion – and reveals itself in a variety of ways. By a smile that expresses total delight. Or by the urge for freedom at the wheel of the new Taycan Cross Turismo.
Can a vision be logical? Is it even allowed to be? We believe that the more visionary an idea at the start, the more exciting it is at the end and the more it is worth fighting for. That was the case with the Panamera. A sports car for four with impressive performance and comfort.
We perceive experiences with all our senses. Of course, this also includes the feeling we have when driving our sports car. The new engine generation captivates with the power and sound typical of a sports car.
The Cayenne and Cayenne Coupé: both boast a striking appearance and impressive performance, with up to five seats. Whether you prefer embarking upon your next adventure in the Cayenne together with friends, or fall for the iconic lines of the Coupé, it is purely a matter of personal taste.

Automobile. Personality. Feeling.
The Taycan marks the beginning of Porsche’s journey to fulfill its commitment to make the automotive industry sustainable.
However, the soul of a car is brought to life by a human. In our opinion, the vehicle and its owner are inseparable – the story of one cannot be told without the other. That is why Porshe Center Riga at the end of the summer of 2022 launched a unique project: meeting Taycan owners, Latvian businesspeople to talk about their professional experience, free time, sustainability and, ultimately, about what it is like to ride the new and nimble steed, the Taycan.
Each story, each person and also each driving experience is unique, as evidenced in the series of five videos we present to you. At the same time, these stories prove that a thriving business can be established and run in Latvia.
Five Latvian business leaders, entrepreneurs and industry professionals talk about their daily lives, their achievements and how the Porsche Taycan adds a positive note to their everyday lives.

In business, it's important to keep a curious mind and keep learning!
In 1997, Skulte Port’s harbor master invited us to work here in Skulte, when there was actually nothing there.
The key to success is exports, of course, because exports ensure stability, create added value and foster development.
