DRAGOȘ BOCAI

What is the difference between a car enthusiast and a user?
The enthusiast spends a lot of time studying details that a user is not interested in, is always up to date
with the latest news in the field and makes his passion an element that defines him.
What does ­Porsche mean to you?
Something I have a natural connection to, we share parts of each other’s DNA. We have a common
vision and -Porsche is part of what Dragoș Bocai means as a person.
What is the main difference between ­Porsche and other brands in the sports segment?
It’s a question that seems easy to answer, but it’s actually not that easy. For me, -Porsche is a perfect,
versatile car, with which you can go to sports as well as to a business meeting, a car with tradition and
values ​​that transcend time barriers, a “timeless” car, something that can be said only about a very few
cars in the sports segment.
How did you get to the ­Porsche brand? Which is your favorite model and why?
It was a passion that started since childhood when I only saw a -Porsche in movies and dreamed of
this car, its story and the values ​​that underpin the brand and the 911 model. Later I took the steps
towards a -Porsche 911 Carerra S and I thought it was strange what I was told when I got the keys –
“it’s the first 911”. It’s a one way street as they say, it’s a perfect car for me and I enjoy every
moment I drive it. It is a discreet but special car, gentle but aggressive, a perfect mix of sensations and
experiences.
How does it feel to be part of the ­Porsche story on the brand’s 75th anniversary?
Glad to be a part of this group that shares some values ​​and a beautiful story.

How would you like the brand to evolve over the next 75 years?
I like the current direction in which the brand finds associations with activities and people who share
the brand’s vision and values, for example the association with kitesurfing, a sport for which I share
the same intense passion. I want this direction to blend harmoniously with the technology that will
surely evolve and make its mark in the development of future models.
