Emma Raducanu serves herself a treat as she swaps £5,000 runabout for £125,000 Porsche supercar

When she became a brand ambassador for Porsche, Emma Raducanu insisted that she remain a star in a reasonably priced car.

Just a month ago, the teenage tennis ace said she loved her Dacia Sandero, which she bought used two years ago for £5,000.

Now it looks like her partnership with the German sports car company has turned things around.

Miss Raducanu, 19, was pictured behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet as she arrived at the National Tennis Center in Roehampton, south west London.

The silver car, with a red soft top, has a top speed of 192 mph and can go from 0 to 100 mph in 3.6 seconds.

Prices for the model start at £124,800. The Dacia Sandero, on the other hand, was once called Britain’s cheapest car. It can be bought new for under £12,000, has a top speed of just over 100mph and takes about 12 seconds to go from 0 to 100mph.

Miss Raducanu has said that her first passion was not tennis but motor racing and her childhood dream was to own a Porsche 911.

The partnership with Porsche is one of several lucrative deals she’s made since winning the US Open last September.

According to the Sunday Times Rich List, she is now valued at £10 million and has signed partnerships with French designer Dior and jeweler Tiffany and Co, as well as HSBC, Vodafone, British Airways, Evian, Wilson and Nike. She was also featured in Sports Direct’s 2021 Christmas ad.
