As a Porsche owner and already a part of the Porsche family, Emily is a driven young female that is a perfect match for the brand. Her passion, drive and determination to achieve the highest level of performance will definitely inspire others to do the same to reach their dreams. The Porsche community is looking forward to following Emily’s ongoing story with Porsche and thrilled to support her in her up-coming competitions.
“Being part of the Porsche family and owning my own Porsche is a dream come true,” says Emily. “From a young age I have always demonstrated the importance of pursuing my athletic and entrepreneurial dreams. Between Porsche's racing heritage and advanced engineering in their iconic sports cars, and encouraging the next generation of female entrepreneurs, joining the Porsche family means the world to me.”
“The gender split between our Porsche customers continues to lessen,” states Marc Ouayoun, President and CEO of Porsche Cars Canada. “Through expansion into younger, more targeted audiences, and with a localized Canadian partnership, we can further extend our brand awareness into new demographics. We are pleased to continue our relationship with Emily Batty. Her passion for Porsche sportscars combined with her extensive background in sports are a welcomed collaboration.”
