Emma Raducanu returns to humble wheels after having £125k car taken away

Emma Raducanu, the young British tennis star who made headlines with her 2021 US Open victory, has experienced a significant shift in her off-court life. Following her rise to fame, Raducanu secured several lucrative sponsorships, including one with Porsche, which led to her being associated with the luxury car brand. However, recent developments suggest that she is no longer driving a Porsche, valued at around £125,000, and has returned to more humble transportation—a Dacia Sandero, a more modest car she had previously driven and expressed affection for.
The shift in her choice of car doesn’t signify a complete break with Porsche, as her ambassadorship with the brand remains intact. It is important to note that Raducanu never owned the Porsche outright; instead, the cars she had access to were part of her sponsorship deal, and there has been no official statement indicating that Porsche has terminated the partnership. Nevertheless, questions about her future with the brand persist, especially as she has faced challenges both on and off the court, including injuries that forced her to withdraw from tournaments like the Wuhan Open [oai_citation:3,Emma Raducanu returns to humble wheels after having £125k car taken away | Tennis

This return to “humble wheels” may symbolize a transitional phase in Raducanu’s career, with hopes that a return to form in tennis could reignite her momentum both in the sport and her commercial ventures. Despite the car switch, her ambitions remain high, with hopes of once again driving a Porsche, should her on-court performances improve.
