Maria Sharapova - Porsche's New Brand Ambassador

"Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role – she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006." Autoblog (Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador)

Yeah... I own a Carrera 3.2... but Porsche wouldn't let me sit on one of the 917's at the museum for a quick picture. Maria on the other hand!!









Gotta love it.

She should have sat on the pink car on the section in German that says "piece of ass."

My least favorite female tennis star of all time - Maria Screamapova
They should have brought Steffi back, much more class.

Let me guess - she said "hell no" to your advances?

I get a steffi for Sharapova. I wonder what Porsche's marketing strategy is. Obviously they are aiming at a younger, yet affluent crowd.

You seem to like looking at masculine beauties.

Met her at a press-day/auto-x Porsche put on with PCA at the Staples Center years ago when they were sponsoring the Women's Tennis Association and really pushing the Cayenne.

She is someone you can "really look up to" when she wears heels and she is a lot thinner then she looked in pictures. I almost think my 2 hands would meet if I grabbed her around the waist. She really looked like you could snap her like a twig.

Was a fun day. Got to see the whole song and dance of how press interviews are handled, we got to beat on the Cayennes as hard as we could, plus there were 6 helicopters hovering above because someone took a hostage in the Mexican consulate. A little bit of everything.

I've been told Steffi used to drive a black 964RS. Not a bad choice.

My vote would be Julia Goerges. Very pretty and German. By the way, Steffi looks way better in person.. Tim
