Yes, Iga Swiatek drove a brand new Porsche Taycan Turbo S onto the court to collect her trophy after winning the 2023 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. The tournament is sponsored by Porsche, so the winner traditionally receives a new car as part of their prize.
Swiatek, who is the current world No. 1, defeated Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets in the final. After the match, she was presented with the keys to her new car by Porsche CEO Oliver Blume. Swiatek then took a few laps around the court in her new car, much to the delight of the fans in attendance.
This is not the first time that Swiatek has driven a car onto the court to collect her trophy. She did the same thing after winning the 2022 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Swiatek is a big fan of Porsche, and she has said that she enjoys driving their cars.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is a high-performance electric car that can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. It has a top speed of 161 mph and a range of up to 201 miles on a single charge.
Swiatek is the latest in a long line of tennis players who have been awarded a new car as part of their prize for winning a tournament. Other notable examples include Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer.
