Emma Raducanu boards London bus after having £125,000 Porsche ‘taken back’ by car manufacturer
EMMA RADUCANU took a trip on a London bus after having her luxury Porsche taken away by the company.
The tennis star has had an injury-hit few years but did play consistently this year before damaging ligaments in her foot this month.
She reached the Round of 16 at Wimbledon and the semi-final at the Rothesay Open, losing to compatriot Katie Boulter.
Earlier this month she had her beloved Porsche taken back by the car manufacturer, so she has had to use public transport to get around the capital.
She swapped the front seat of her £125,000 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet for a London red bus heading towards west London.
Raducanu has been a big Porsche fan since childhood as one of her first tennis coach would always show up with one of the famous brand’s sports cars.
However her dream of owning one now appears to be over.
One of Raducanu’s associates reportedly said: “Emma no longer has a Porsche.
“They took it back. It used to have pride of place at her home.”
Porsche confirmed Raducanu does not possess one of their cars but had been loaned out a vehicle as part of her sponsorship deal.

A spokesperson said: “While we do on occasion loan Emma a car, this is very much on an ad hoc basis.
“Emma Raducanu is a global brand ambassador for Porsche and there have not been any changes within our successful partnership since it started in 2022. We are very happy with our partnership.”
