RENOVATIONS THE
Porsche Centre Willoughby has a long history with prestige vehicles; beginning 60 years ago in 1963 when Scuderia Veloce Motors registered their name as a motor dealer.
In 1983 the Sutton family purchased the Scuderia group: building a new facility in Willoughby in 1991 for Porsche and Ferrari and later on in 1994, adding Chrysler Jeep to their stable.

By then the Porsche franchise in Willoughby was well established and in 2003 the dealership underwent a total refurbishment into the building you know today.

“Porsche stands for life dreams and for a strong community of our friends and fans. We are designing our Porsche dealerships to be forwardlooking gathering places to experience the brand.” Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG.
In 1969 Scuderia Veloce Motors, now Porsche Centre Willoughby, was appointed a Porsche dealer.
In 1996 Scuderia Veloce Motors moved Ferrari to a new location in William St, Sydney and transformed the Porsche dealership with the arrival of Boxster.
Macan brought change, with $4 million invested in redesigning and renovating our dealership showroom in line with Porsche Corporate Identity. It also brought a new level with rooftop parking, an elevator and a flexible showroom configuration.

"I remember Sean as the best dressed General Manager in the Dealer network. Of course most likely his wife Sharon deserves all the credit for that.
More importantly I appreciated the open and honest nature of our relationship. At times there are differences of opinion between manufacturers and their dealers on matters for instance such as how much to spend on marketing or allocations of hard to get special models. Discussions with Sean were always tough but without politics and nonsense. When the discussion was over we agreed with a handshake and I could always rely on that as indeed also with his employers, the Sutton family."
