Porsche Centre Bahrain Hosts Exclusive Electric Drive Event
The drive gave participants a chance to truly feel what sets Porsche apart — the seamless blend of power, control, and refined comfort that defines the brand's signature driving experience.
After reaching the Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain, guests sat down to a relaxed meal — a chance to unwind, swap stories from the drive, and share impressions of Porsche's electric line-up. On the way back, the experience took a new turn with a vehicle swap, allowing everyone to get behind the wheel of both the Macan and Taycan for a well-rounded taste of Porsche's electric future.
'This weekend was not just about driving; it was about creating unforgettable memories with our clients,' said Tim Price, General Manager at Porsche Centre Bahrain. 'The Macan and Taycan represent the future of Porsche, and we are excited to share that experience with our valued customers.'
The event showcased Porsche's commitment to sustainability through its electric range while also emphasising the brand's focus on delivering memorable, experience-driven moments for its clients. Feedback from participants was resoundingly positive, reflecting a clear interest in the future of electric mobility within the Porsche lineup.
Porsche Centre Bahrain plans to host more events like this in the future, creating opportunities to connect with the community and highlight what its vehicles can truly do.

Creating herstory
Bahrain is set to witness the second edition of the prestigious Woman of the Year Awards (WOTYA), a platform honouring community trailblazers, nominations for which are open, writes Melissa Nazareth. The glittering event will be staged by Woman This Month magazine in December, coinciding with Bahraini Women's Day, which is celebrated annually on December 1. Porsche will be the title sponsor of WOTYA 2025, which recognises the achievements and contributions of women in Bahrain across sectors, including business, art, science, healthcare, and social good. This year's awards will feature 17 honours across six main categories. A new category, 'Women in Orange Economy', has been introduced and features the Orange Economy Rising Star by UNIDO award. Other categories are Woman in Business, Woman in Service, Woman in Sports, Woman in Social Service and Woman of Arabia Achievement Award. The orange economy, also known as the creative economy, encompasses art, culture, media, design, technology and heritage industries. GulfWeekly's sister paper, the GDN, previously reported on the launch of the Orange Economy year in the kingdom, which will entail a series of competitions, conferences, exhibitions and community engagement activities, staged by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation Investment and Technology Promotion Office (UNIDO-ITPO) in the kingdom, in collaboration with the RAK Art Foundation. WOTYA 2025 was officially launched in March at the Wyndham Grand Manama during which Woman This Month chairman George Middleton reaffirmed the platform's mission to elevate women's voices. 'When we let her shine bright, Bahrain shines even brighter,' he said in his address. The 2025 jury panel was also introduced at the event. It includes award-winning entrepreneur Huda Janahi, marketing professional and mental health advocate Nivedita Dhadphale, Standard Chartered Bank head of corporate affairs, brand and marketing Noora Al Nusuf, Maya La Chocolaterie, Maya Delices and SJ Investments founder and chief executive Sonya Janahi, ESMOD Dubai founder and chief executive Tamara Hostal, and journalist, writer and technology pioneer Ubaydli. In order to be eligible for a nomination, you must be a current resident of Bahrain, except for the philanthropy sub-category. Those who wish to nominate someone for the awards can visit for more details. Last year's awards attracted more than 400 nominations, 51 per cent of which were Bahraini. The gala event, which was attended by around 500 people, honoured 19 women from among 50 finalists. Pioneering artist and philanthropist Safeya Kanoo, who passed away on June 18, was acknowledged with a lifetime achievement award. Reminiscing a memorable interaction with the personality, Red House Marketing managing director Anne Middleton said: 'When Safeya Kanoo comes to my mind, it's not the 'talented artist' or the 'Bahraini socialite' most people would remember her by, but the gracious, dignified and charitable lady that she was. 'I recall being asked by a friend, who was organising a little fundraising get-together for a home for elderly women, if 'Madam Safeya' would give her time to attend. At short notice, I called her and despite her busy schedule and physical issues, she agreed not to mention also giving a generous donation.' Red House Marketing publishes Woman This Month and Bahrain This Month.

Exploring Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur's Panamera and Taycan 4S
What's better than a Porsche parked in your driveway? A Porsche made specifically for you—reflecting your personality, your preferences, and your lifestyle. Sounds like a dream? That's exactly what Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers, a bespoke customisation programme that blends your imagination with Porsche's innovation. Porsche has always been known for excellence and performance, but the Exclusive Manufaktur, Porsche's factory in Stuttgart, Germany, takes things a step further by transforming iconic cars into unique personal expressions – whether it's an aesthetic preference or a technical one. Inspired by Ferry Porsche's belief, 'We place more value on building cars of quality than on building cars for quantity,' this programme creates exceptional vehicles tailored precisely to the owner's wishes. During our recent outing with Porsche Centre Bahrain, we had the opportunity to explore two outstanding examples of this programme: the Taycan 4S and the Panamera. Both cars were customised with exceptional care and remarkable attention to detail. Finished in Ice Grey Metallic, the Taycan 4S embodies Porsche's modern elegance and futuristic appeal. Its Exclusive Manufaktur features include beautifully painted lower trims on the exterior mirrors in Ice Grey Metallic, high-gloss black window trims, and a panoramic roof with adjustable light control—perfect for setting the right mood inside the car. Inside, the Taycan blends luxury with sporty style, featuring a stunning two-tone leather interior in black and Bordeaux red. Details such as the matte carbon steering wheel trim with built-in heating and personalised vehicle keys that match the exterior colour emphasise the personalised luxury. Illuminated carbon matte door sill guards, personalised floor mats, and a Head-Up Display complete this refined package. Painted in Dolomite Silver Metallic, the Panamera showcases Porsche's customisation from a different but equally impressive angle. Striking high-gloss black wheels with polished surfaces and a sophisticated Club leather interior in Barrique demonstrate Porsche's commitment to elegance and refinement. The Panamera includes adaptive sports seats with 18-way electric adjustments, a panoramic roof, and elegant door handle inlays that match the exterior colour. Unique taillights and a carbon matte interior package paired with a heated leather GT sports steering wheel underline the perfect balance of sportiness and luxury. Like the Taycan, illuminated door sill guards in carbon matte and a Head-Up Display highlight Porsche's attention to combining style with practical functionality. At Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, advanced technology meets traditional craftsmanship. Skilled artisans carefully handle premium materials like leather, Alcantara®, carbon fibre, wood, and aluminium. Every detail, from stitching to final finishes, is performed by hand, ensuring exceptional quality and uniqueness. These customised cars are not just vehicles—they reflect their owners' personalities and tastes. Even small elements receive extraordinary attention. The leather used by Porsche is sourced exclusively from Germany and Austria, carefully selected and thinned to precise specifications. This level of care ensures the interior is refined and comfortable. Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur thrives on the creativity of its customers, working closely with Porsche's Design Studio and engineers in Weissach. This partnership ensures continuous innovation and keeps the customisation programme dynamic and forward-thinking. Each Porsche leaving the Exclusive Manufaktur workshop is a result of this creative collaboration, turning imaginative ideas into extraordinary realities. In essence, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is more than just customisation—it's about creating cars with a distinct personality and character, uniquely reflecting their owners. Our experience with the Taycan 4S and Panamera vividly confirmed this, showcasing Porsche's seamless blend of luxury, innovation, and personal artistry.
