The first Porsche 4S center in Malaysia, the facility is the country’s only Porsche-certified body & paint facility with custom-made spray booths, ventilation and filtration systems to reduce airborne particles during the painting process. It is the home of the workshop.
The center is also the first Porsche Certified Classic Partner in Malaysia. This means we can offer technical support along with a special procurement process for original Porsche spare parts and spare parts for discontinued Classic He cars.
To showcase this, the center had a restored Porsche 911 and some classic Porsche parts on display, but what stood out was the Porsche Classic Communication, available in two versions, PCCM and PCCM Plus.
