Sochi Inspired Porsche Panamera GTS by Maria Sharapova

This is what you can do with the Porsche Exclusive program.

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are underway and athletes from around the world are competing for gold. Even the Jamaican bobsled team is there after some help from the global community, but their sled isn’t nearly as nice as the one that Porsche created with the help of Maria Sharapova. The successful Russian tennis player lived in Sochi and is helping to promote the Winter Olympics being held there by giving tours, interviews, posing for pictures, and presenting custom-tailored cars. Sharapova is also a Porsche Brand Ambassador and to go along with the start of the games, her and the German automaker has presented the Porsche Panamera GTS by Maria Sharapova.

The new Porsche Panamera GTS by Maria Sharapova is a custom-designed vehicle showcasing the wide array of options that can be configured using the Porsche Exclusive program along with other unique options. The Panamera GTS was designed by Sharapova, who has quite a resume when it comes to designing an array of products.

“Creating and specifying a very personal Porsche Panamera was such an exciting undertaking. It opens the door to a whole new design sensibility and allowed me to bring my own personal aesthetic. I count myself not only as an athlete, but also as a designer – I’ve designed full collections of luxury accessories, apparel, and even candy for years,” said Sharapova. “I never thought I would have the opportunity to add a car – especially a Porsche – to that repertoire. It’s an ingenious melding of the design world with automotive personalization.”
