The partnership is part of a collaboration project with a Korean brand and artist to mark the launch of Porsche's new iconic model, the ‘Taycan,’ and was designed to actively communicate with young customers in their 20s to 30s who enjoy casual racing games.

CEO of Porsche Korea, Holger Gerrmann stated that, "The partnership between Porsche Korea and Nexon will be an opportunity to provide a unique brand experience, through the launch of the ‘Taycan' kart on esports platforms that domestic customers are familiar with,” and added, "In par-ticular, we hope future potential customers who enjoy esports will be able to experience the powerful performance of the new electric sports car ‘Taycan’, and feel the spirit of the Porsche brand."

The kart, which was modelled after the Porsche ‘Taycan,’ will be applied to PC game ‘KartRider’ and mobile game ‘KartRider Rush+’, on January 21st and 29th 2021, respectively. In the future, Super Match will be held to compete with game skills on the Porsche Taycan kart under the con-cept of one-make race.
