KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 15): Porsche Malaysia, represented by Sime Darby Auto Performance Sdn Bhd (SDAP), has confirmed that the Cayenne is the model chosen for local assembly in Kulim, Kedah. This development arrived when Sime Darby Bhd announced it was collaborating with Porsche AG to assemble the latter's sports car for the Malaysian market only in August this year. In February, The Edge reported that Porsche was partnering with Inokom Corp Sdn Bhd — a subsidiary of Sime Darby Motors, which is in turn a subsidiary of Sime Darby — to set up an assembly plant in Kulim. Porsche Malaysia said the brand will further expand its presence in Malaysia, complementing its facilities in Kuala Lumpur and Penang with a fourth dealership in Johor Bahru, which will open by mid-2022. "When Porsche first launched the Cayenne, it opened up a world of possibilities for the brand and our customers.
