01 / ABOUT KAYTEA
MEET
KAYTEA.
It started with an orange GTI.
Kaytea didn’t grow up in a car family. She bought her Fahrenheit GTI in 2020 with plans to take it to the track, and learned to work on it as she went. Community college and a Porsche apprenticeship followed.
Now Porsche certified with an associate degree in Automotive Technology, she shares repairs, modifications, and track days as @boostedkaytea. The garage has grown to include a Porsche 944 racecar project and a Tiguan daily.
FROM HER 2024 Q&A
“WHY NOT ASK?
BECAUSE YOU’LL
NEVER KNOW.”
She needed an internship for her degree. Expecting a no, she emailed and called Porsche anyway. They offered an apprenticeship.
