She was also pictured with a £27,000 classic 911 Carrera 3.2 after signing on as an ambassador for the global sports car maker.
And the tennis player from Bromley, south-east London, gets her own free Porsche to go for a spin.
Raducanu said: “Porsche has always been on my mind. It’s one of the brands I’ve loved from a young age.
“One of my buses had a 911 Targa. Yes, cool coach. Whenever I saw him, I dreamed of one day sitting in my own.
“It is important for me to align myself with partners and brands that I really excite and identify with.
“And because motorsport has always been a part of me, I think this partnership with Porsche is incredible.”
She added that she loves motorsport because it has a drive for continuous improvement that she compares to tennis.
Emma added: “My favorite car is definitely the 911. It is so unique and beautiful in every way across generations.
“I feel like it’s one of the most iconic cars out there.”
She added: “When I was younger I remember that the Porsche Grand Prix was always a big tournament and a very different one, a unique tournament because the winner got a Porsche.
“It was always something very special.”
Emma has been described as a massive petrolhead who dabbled in karting and motocross as a kid.
Porsche boss Oliver Blume said: “Emma not only embodies a new generation of strong and self-confident players, but as a personality is also an inspiration and role model for young women all over the world beyond the sport.
“She shows through her own life that if you believe in yourself and are willing to work hard, you can achieve your goals.”
The Porsche 911 GT3 costs £132,000 and has a top speed of 198mph with 510bhp.
With its 4-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
This month, Emma Raducanu was featured in The Sun’s Fabulous magazine 25 Most Inspiring Women for International Women’s Day.
She made tennis history last September, winning both the US Open and a legion of loyal fans.
The youngest Grand Slam winner in 17 years graduated from high school just months before her stunning victory and is said to be making a fortune of £100million from sponsorship deals alone.
She also has a Vogue shoot and an MBE under her belt, with global brands lining up to collaborate with her.
