Porsche’s UK dealers have been hosting customer launch events for the revised 911 sports car.

Peter Vardy’s Porsche Centre Aberdeen drew more than 250 customers for an evening of glamour and entertainment.

The evening including tours of the latest 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S, which are the first to gain a 3.0-litre turbocharged flat-six engine which ensures they are the fastest Carrera models to date, plus the 911 Cabriolet and 919 Hybrid.

The event, which included a Porsche-themed quiz with branded prizes, came just weeks after the business had relocated to the £6m new-built site, which has a showroom for 22 cars, 10-bay workshop and a covered area to display pre-owned Porsches.

A commemorative plaque was unveiled for the new centre by Peter Vardy (pictured left), chief executive of the dealer group, and Chris Craft (pictured right), managing director of Porsche Cars GB.

Tom Hall, centre principal at Porsche Centre Aberdeen, said: "It was a tremendous evening, with the staff and guests alike sharing the enthusiasm about the special nature of Porsche, the pinnacle of precision engineering."

Vardy added: "The event was a great success and we look forward to celebrating the launch of many more fantastic cars at the Porsche Centre Aberdeen in the future."
