What's the news?
Remember the last time you saw a Porsche and called it sweet? Well, this time Porsche has turned sweet, but not quite as you know it... Porsche's global ambassador and tennis star Maria Sharapova also happens to be the founder and creative director of a premium sweet brand called Sugarpova. Her connection with Porsche is a year old now and she has used the opportunity to bring in two of her business connections, that is Porsche and Sugarpova, together in the form of 'Speedy', a yoghurt gummy in the Porsche 911's iconic shape.

Sharapova, who turns 27 this Saturday, said, "The 911 is my favourite Porsche because its shape is so perfect." Talking about Speedy, she added, "As an ambassador of the brand, it's thrilling for me to combine my passions in such a totally unexpected and exciting way."
