JANSEN TAN

Jansen Tan

Jansen Tan’s garage is a weekend mechanic's dream.

During a recent visit to Singapore, we had the pleasure of visiting Jansen Tan’s garage, a space that feels more fitting for a superhero than your average collector - filled with tools and memories. We didn’t spot a Batmobile, but during the visit we had the pleasure of checking out just a few of his many personalised Porsches.

Interestingly enough, Tan never planned on becoming a Porsche person; in his early days, he was a drift kid. We’re talking S-chassis, smoke, noise, and late nights in the garage. Since then, his collection has grown into a study of everything Porsche can be, including this hand-built Safari, a ’68 Rallye veteran from the London–Sydney run, a 997 Cup car bought purely to get faster, twin-turbo RWB experiments, and a 992 GT3 with JDM fingerprints all over it.

Also tucked away in the garage is the 964 RWB that changed his trajectory. It turned curiosity into obsession, and obsession into a life built around understanding how these cars think. What ties them together isn’t rarity or value though, but the involvement. Jansen restores, rewires, rebuilds, and learns by doing. When something breaks, he studies it. When something confuses him, he figures it out. And when someone knows more, he listens and learns from them.

His garage in Singapore isn’t simply a showroom or a collectors storage space, but more of a tinkerer’s workshop, inspired by a friend’s home in Perth, a place for projects, problem-solving, and the quiet satisfaction of understanding something deeply.

As for what’s next in Tan’s Porsche journey, he said we can expect to see a G-body RWB Safari car soon, featuring a custom Albins sequential gearbox developed by Ktec and himself.
