As a seasoned observer of the world of sports and luxury brands, I must say that Emma Raducanu‘s rise to fame and her association with prestigious brands like Porsche is nothing short of captivating. Having followed the careers of numerous athletes and celebrities, I can attest that the path to success they tread is often paved with trials, tribulations, and a dash of luck.


On Sunday, Emma Raducanu appeared relaxed while taking the bus, following news that she had apparently misplaced her £125,000 Porsche.

More recently, there have been reports that the high-end automaker, for whom Emma serves as an ambassador, appears to have reclaimed a 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet supercar from her temporary possession.

Currently, Emma, aged 21, who hasn’t secured a Grand Slam title since her triumph at the 2021 US Open due to a series of injuries, appears to have adapted to using public transportation. Over the weekend, she was spotted boarding a bus.

For the outing, the tennis champion opted for a casual look with a purple sweater, paired it with a navy vest and black leggings.

She finished off her low-key look grey and white trainers and black sunglasses.

Emma looked chilled as she scrolled on her phone before boarding a 345 bus.

The sportswoman, who donned a pair of Airpods, seemed in her own world as she went about her day on the solo outing.  

As a child, Emma, who is now dealing with an injury, developed a fondness for Porsche, since one of her early tennis mentors was the proud owner of one of their sports cars.

Before her US Open success, she reportedly drove a £5,000 Dacia Sandero.

Every morning when I arrived for practice, I’d always spot his Porsche. It used to make me exclaim, “Wow!” and fantasize about the day I’d have my very own.

The young lady who attended grammar school could not hide her joy upon being chosen as an international representative, or global spokesperson, for a prestigious German car company, following her remarkable win in the US Open singles final back in 2021 when she was just 18 years old.

The endorsement deal was said to be worth a huge sum.

She was seen with a mix of pride and some apprehension while she navigated her way to the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, located in south-west London, behind the wheel of a £125,000 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet. This stylish convertible boasts an impressive top speed of 192mph.

According to Richard Eden from The Daily Mail, it appears that the contract between the renowned tennis player and the high-end automaker might not survive.

One of Emma’s acquaintances mentioned that she no longer owns a Porsche, as it was reclaimed from her. Previously, this luxury car held a prominent position in her household.

A Porsche spokesman confirmed that she is no longer in possession of one of its vehicles. 

‘While we do on occasion loan Emma a car, this is very much on an ad hoc basis,’ he said.

A person involved in sponsorship work indicated that Porsche has a reputation for quickly pulling back their cars from celebrity endorsers when they believe the partnership isn’t delivering a good return on investment.

Without a doubt, Raducanu demonstrated her dedication to the company by participating in promotional campaigns. This included driving a 911 GT3 at Brands Hatch in Kent and racing laps with Formula 1 veteran Mark Webber in a 911 Carrera S at Silverstone in Northamptonshire.

As the historic first-time winner of the 2021 US Open Grand Slam title, I’ve had the privilege to secure substantial agreements with esteemed brands such as Dior, Evian, HSBC, and Vodafone.

Her company, Harbour 6 Ltd, recorded a profit of £9.6million last year.

Emma recently posted a cryptic selfie amid the news surrounding her supercar.

The stunner posted six pictures on her Instagram feed – including a selfie in what appears to be a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS.

As I scroll through my feed, I came across an intriguing photo, its origin and exact time of capture remain a mystery. Accompanying it was a thought-provoking caption that read: ‘Just like I disappeared then reemerged.’ It sparked curiosity in me, making me wonder about the story behind this image and the person who posted it.
