ABOUT
South Melbourne, is kicking off the Grand Prix celebrations the weekend before the main event, with a “South Melbourne, Porsche & coffee” meet, where like minded Porsche enthusiasts can catchup in a relaxed Sunday atmosphere to show off their vehicles to visitors, the community, family and friends. Where all can enjoy the car scene over a coffee with many stunning vehicles to view on the day.
In 1951, over 70 years ago, South Melbourne Town Hall hosted a cocktail launch event for the very first two Porsches (356’s) brought into Australia, by Norman Hamilton. So, what better place to have a Porsche cars and coffee event to kick of Grand Prix week.
Clarendon Street is the gateway from the CBD to the Grand Prix and is perfectly positioned to become a main celebratory route for visitors attending the Grand Prix. What better way to applaud this, than an affiliation with one of the most preeminent sports car companies racing in the Grand Prix with the Porsche Carrera Cup race series.
2025 will be our 3rd annual Porsche & Coffee event. Join us, you won’t be disappointed.
On Display on the day with special thanks to the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) will be, The Formula 1® Demonstration car.
