Main Topics and Content

First On-Camera Broadcast [01:24]

  • Held the first broadcast with on-camera appearance. Usually, it’s a radio-style voice-only stream.
  • Bought a Porsche Center T-shirt for the broadcast. Normally not interested in clothes and don’t own decent outfits.
  • Used an AI-generated garage image as the background. The actual broadcast was from the real room.

Shikoku Touring Experience in a Fairlady Z [13:00]

  • Toured Shikoku in a Fairlady Z, driving along Route 195. The road had light traffic and was very enjoyable to drive.
  • Initially worried about the stiff ride, but found it surprisingly comfortable even on long distances.
  • Compared to a Porsche, the ride quality is inferior, but driving aggressively makes the car feel pressed to the road, which is fun.
  • Drove about 1,300 km and had planned to sell it once the Spider arrived, but decided to enjoy it a bit longer.

Macan EV Test Drive Impressions [23:49]

  • The Macan EV comes with air suspension, offering a comfortable, quiet, and easy-to-drive experience.
  • Among all Macans driven so far, this is the favorite, especially well-suited for the wife demographic.
  • With a range of about 505 km, range anxiety is minimal, making it ideal for daily use.
  • Acceleration feels natural, designed so that switching from a gasoline car feels seamless.
  • Compared to the Taycan, the Macan EV aims in a different direction; the Taycan leans heavily toward the 911 spirit, while the Macan EV is an evolution of the traditional Macan.

992 Late Model Base Version Test Drive Impressions [39:09]

  • While many say the 992 late model is milder, the actual drive in town didn’t reveal much change.
  • Compared to the early model, changes are about 10-20%, with slightly calmer vibrations and noise at idle.
  • On mountain roads, the late model feels a bit “blurred” around the edges, with reduced sharpness.
  • There’s a slight hesitation during low-speed re-acceleration, losing some of the smooth acceleration feel of the early base model.
  • Overall, those who prefer the sharpness of the early model might find it somewhat lacking.

Overall Porsche Comparison Summary [56:00]

  • Drove seven cars in one day (Fairlady Z, Boxster, Carrera 4 GTS, Macan EV, 992 late model, Turbo GT, Tesla).
  • After driving the 992, stepping into the Turbo GT made me think, “This is what a 911 really is.”
  • The 992 late model has shifted direction from the early model, prioritizing ease of use over sportiness.
  • The Macan EV is recommended for everyone, while the 992 late model may divide opinions.

Thoughts on Porsche’s Accelerator Pedal [1:02:40]

  • Porsche’s accelerator pedal is set heavier compared to other German cars.
  • The heavier pedal design allows for subtle throttle control.
  • The PDK transmission can handle gear changes even with light pedal input, enabling fine throttle work.
  • To master a Porsche, a driving style that applies firm pressure on the accelerator and uses its weight for precise adjustments is best.
