BANGKOK: Porsche passion in Southeast Asia returned to centre stage recently as Das Treffen celebrated its milestone 10th edition at Impact Speed Park, Bangkok.
First conceived by Porsche aficionado Sihabutr “Tenn” Xoomsai, Das Treffen has grown from a casual gathering of like-minded enthusiasts into a vibrant cultural phenomenon.
“Reaching 10 editions of Das Treffen is something I never expected when we first gathered here as a small group of enthusiasts,” said Xoomsai.
“This achievement has been made possible only through the steadfast support of our partners and the incredible Porsche community across Asia.”
This year, the atmosphere was elevated further as the venue transformed into a series of immersive, themed zones curated by Porsche and anchored by a dedicated Porsche Thailand hospitality village.
Guests explored exclusive merchandise at the Porsche Lifestyle Boutique, and stepped into the world of motorsport through thrilling racing simulators on iconic tracks.
A standout highlight was the Motorsport zone, where a legendary Porsche 956 took centre stage after being flown in specially from the Porsche Museum.
The 956 was one of the most dominant endurance racing machines of the 1980s, securing four consecutive overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1982 to 1985.
Displayed alongside it was the formidable 963 LMDh race car, fresh from its IMSA Championship triumph and second-place finish at Le Mans 2025.
In the Adventure zone, a specially prepared Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupé – built in Malaysia for Thailand and famed for its remarkable 22,000km journey from Bangkok to Stuttgart across 17 countries in 61 days – stood as a testament to endurance and all-terrain capability.
The Performance zone showcased the timeless excellence of the 911 and 718, while the Urban zone highlighted the Taycan and Macan as flagbearers of Porsche’s electrified future.
Meanwhile, the Heritage zone celebrated the marque’s cultural legacy with the 911 Spirit 70, a limited-edition model evoking the vibrant colours, patterns, and lifestyle of the 1970s.
Porsche Asia Pacific also hosted its inaugural regional Porsche Club Presidents’ Meeting in Bangkok.
The meeting provided a valuable platform for clubs to present their standout initiatives from 2025, and strengthen collaborative ties.
The celebrations continued into the evening with the Porsche Club Night at Curvistan Bangkok, the brand’s immersive lifestyle and community space in the heart of Thong Lo.
More than 280 Porsche Club members from all over Asia came together for the official opening of Curvistan’s latest exhibition, curated by Stefan Bogner and fittingly dedicated to the “Porsche Communities”.
“Porsche communities are the heartbeat of our brand,” said Porsche Asia Pacific marketing director Yannick Ott.
“Das Treffen X, Curvistan and our first-ever regional Porsche Club Presidents’ Meeting underscore how the passion, purpose, and people behind the crest come together to create something truly unique,” added Ott.
