Icons of Porsche 2024: Highlights From The Region’s Biggest Porsche Festival

Icons of Porsche 2024 brought automotive enthusiasts from across the GCC and even certain parts of Europe to Dubai on November 23rd and 24th for a spectacular fourth edition of the Porsche Festival. With over 28,000 attendees across two days and a staggering gathering of drool-worthy Porsche cars, the event once again cemented itself as a must-attend celebration for Porsche fans.

Held at The Slab, Dubai Design District, this year’s festival was not just about cars but also a cultural and community extravaganza. Porsche owners and fans from Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia joined local enthusiasts and owners to bask in the glory of the legendary marque. 

The event brought together hundreds of Porsche models, each with a unique story to tell. Some of the most notable exhibits included:

The sprawling 44,000 sq.m festival site was meticulously organized into zones, each showcasing Porsche’s legacy:

The world premiere of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR was the highlight of Icons of Porsche 2024. Based on the 911 GT3 RS and developed by Manthey Racing, this model represents the pinnacle of Porsche’s track-focused engineering. 

Key Upgrades:

While the 4.0-litre flat-six engine remains untouched at 518hp & 465Nm, the Manthey Racing kit shaves approximately 5 seconds off the standard GT3 RS’ Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time, which is super impressive.

Inside, weight-saving measures continue with the removal of unnecessary trim and the integration of motorsport-focused elements. The kit is priced at AED 394,000 and can be ordered through Porsche Dubai and Porsche Abu Dhabi dealerships.

Icons of Porsche 2024 was graced by notable personalities, including:

Beyond the cars, the event was a celebration of Porsche’s vibrant community. The lineup featured dedicated model lineup areas for all Porsche cars ranging from the vintage Porsche 356 and 928 to the classic 930, 944, and even the modern 911 and 718 models. In addition, the presence of Porsche hypercar royalty like the Carrera GT & 918 only added to the grandeur of the event. 

Oliver Blume was quoted as saying, “Porsche has always been all about fascinating sports cars, and just as much about emotions and dreams – that connect people across generations and continents, said Blume to the passionate crowd in attendance. All of this comes together at Icons of Porsche in a truly unique way – in front of this spectacular backdrop here in Dubai.”

Icons of Porsche 2024 wasn’t just about showcasing cars — it was about storytelling and community spirit. The event also saw the comeback of the world’s largest inflatable car — a surprisingly detailed Porsche 356 that first debuted at Icons Of Porsche 2023.

By bringing together historic icons, modern marvels, and passionate fans from across the GCC, the event once again proved why it’s a cornerstone of automotive culture in the region. As Porsche continues to push boundaries, we can only imagine what surprises the next edition will hold.
