October, 3, 2016

Uber, the technology company that’s transformed the way people move in cities has teamed up with Eurocars, the official agent of Porsche cars in Sri Lanka, to give two lucky Uber riders the Ultimate Porsche Experience.
Uber riders will receive a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to take part in the Porsche Driving Experience in Katukurunda, where participants will drive seven top-of-the-line luxury sports cars that have never been seen or experienced in the country before.

The Porsche models that they will drive are the 911 Turbo, 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, Panamera GTS, Cayenne GTS, Cayman GTS, Macan GTS and the newly launched 718 Boxster. The winners will get to enjoy Porsche’s performance luxury and meet two international professional driving instructors and three of Sri Lanka’s top local driving experts.

Furthermore, the Uber riders will be picked up by a chauffeur-driven Porsche car and then be taken to a helicopter courtesy of IWS Aviation. They will be whisked off to Katukurunda in the helicopter for the Porsche Driving Experience and when the event is done, the Uber riders will be dropped back at their homes yet again in the luxury of a Porsche car.

IWS Aviation, an IWS Holdings Company is a luxury helicopter service that caters to all types of travel needs. Their Airbus four and six seater passenger helicopter fleet will be utilised to highlight the total experience for the lucky winners.

Bhavik Rathod, General Manager - South and West, India & Sri Lanka, Uber said, “Uber is all about bringing amazing experiences to people at the push of a button, using the power of new technology - whether it’ a safe, reliable ride around Colombo, an aerial tour of the city or pretty much anything else. The possibilities are endless. The Ultimate Porsche Experience is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we are very excited to be partnering with Eurocars for this in Sri Lanka.”

“Eurocars is frequently approached by Porsche fans that look forward to the possibility of an opportunity to drive the cars. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Porsche Driving Experience has gained immense public interest and has increased Porsche’s brand recognition in Sri Lanka. We are pleased to partner with Uber for the Ultimate Porsche Experience as it opens the doors for everyone to drive Porsche’s high performance super-luxury cars,” said Arthur Senanayake, Chairman, Eurocars.

To be eligible to win the Ultimate Porsche Experience, Uber riders will have to enter the promo code ‘GIMMEAPORSCHE’ and take a minimum of three rides between 29th September - 05th October 2016.
