Watch Emma Raducanu stun as new face of Porsche as avid F1 fan takes part in new ad campaign video
TENNIS star Emma Raducanu has been unveiled as the new face of Porsche.
The US Open winner, 19, looked to be in her element as she got behind the wheel of a stunning Porsche 911 GT3.
British ace Raducanu – 2021’s Sports Personality of the Year – is a huge petrolhead and major Formula One fan.
And she will have loved her time in the seat of the hot shot supercar.
Boasting a 500hp engine, the 911 GT3 can go from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds.
It can also reach an incredible top speed of 198mph.
But punters need deep pockets to purchase one, with the most basic model starting at a whopping £131,500.
However, that’s chump change for Raducanu, who pocketed nearly £2million for her incredible US Open triumph last year.
The win also saw her secure lucrative sponsorship deals with companies ranging from British Airways and Dior to Evian and Tiffany & Co.
Currently the World no13, Raducanu is ready to add more Grand Slams to her trophy cabinet.

But for now, she is enjoying life behind the wheel after being named as Porsche’s newest ambassador.
Raducanu beamed: “For me to a brand ambassador for Porsche means a lot. Porsche is one of the brands I’ve always loved from a young age.
“One of my first tennis coaches drove a 911. Whenever I would turn up to practice in the morning, I would see his Porsche, I would go ‘wow’ and be dreaming of one day sitting in my own.
“My favourite car is the 911 for sure. Throughout the generations it’s so unique and beautiful in every way. I feel like it’s one of the most iconic cars out there.
“It’s really important for me to align with partners and brands that I really feel passionate about and that I identify with.”
