Emma Raducanu's first car was a Dacia Sandero and she is emotionally attached to it and promises never to get rid of it.
Emma Raducanu adores her first car, a Dacia Sandero, despite the fact that she is a Porsche ambassador. In a recent interview with the media, the British superstar discussed how she came to buy a Dacia vehicle in the first place.
“My dad is Romanian and a Dacia was his first car. So, yeah, I have a white Dacia Sandero. It was funny, I passed my test three days before the first lockdown and we sort of knew it was going into lockdown, so we needed to buy a car ASAP. I bought it second-hand for £5k. I take care of her. I’m never going to get rid of it.”
When the conversation turned to Porsche, Raducanu shared some of her impressions of the brand:
“Any 911. I’m there. It doesn’t matter. I definitely have a better respect for electric cars after driving a Taycan. The acceleration is so smooth, it’s almost like you are taking off in a UFO. And obviously, it’s great for the planet. But, for me, nothing can really beat the organic smell and sound of a car.”
She also detailed her recent experience driving a new 911 at Silverstone:
"It was actually amazing. It was a shoot day and I was thinking, ‘I really want to drive it’, and at the end of the day they let me have a go. Going from the automatic 911 that I was driving, the modern one, then going to a Sixties manual, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to forget how to drive manual’. I didn’t want to scratch it."
