“We’re incredibly excited to introduce Porsche to CRS2 players,” said Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion. “Porsche is an icon in the automotive industry. For more than 60 years, Porsche has designed some of the most stunning premium and exclusive sports cars that people all over the world dream of owning. We’re proud to work with Porsche to give CSR2 players the chance to win or buy an in-game Porsche and see what it’s like to race some of the fastest cars on the road.”

Beginning today, CSR2 players can experience getting behind the wheel of a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, 2016 911 Turbo S or a 2017 718 Boxster S. The 918 Spyder and 911 Turbo S will be up for grabs to win as a Season Prize for players who complete the Crew Milestone Ladder. For players who cannot wait to hit the streets in a Porsche, the 718 Boxster S can be purchased in the game’s car dealership. Players also have a chance to win a rare in-game version of the Porsche 718 Boxster S.

In CSR2, players participate in head-to-head drag races – the purest form of auto racing – against friends and fellow car fans. To create the most authentic mobile racing experience, the CSR2 team worked closely with Porsche to recreate the physical specs of their vehicles for the mobile screen. From the vehicle paint colors and finishes, to the interior leather colors and trims, every detail precisely mirrors the look and feel of a real Porsche.

CSR2 is the third installment in the CSR Racing franchise, which also includes the original CSR Racing and CSR Racing Classics. CSR2 has garnered more than 1 million 5-star reviews and is currently the #1 Top Grossing Racing Game in over 50 countries. Since the game’s launch, CSR2 players have raced more than 583 million miles in the game, enough to circle the world more than 23,400 times.

CSR2 is available to download for free on the App Store and Google Play. For more information about CSR2, visit the game's community channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
