About the New Cayenne The new Cayenne, which began accepting pre-orders in December 2017, comes in three models: Cayenne: 9.76 million yen, Cayenne S: 12.88 million yen, and Cayenne Turbo: 18.55 million yen.

Is It True That Men Who Frequently Change Cars Are Unfaithful? – A Wife’s Perspecti...

But if “frequently changing cars = womanizer and unfaithful,” then what does that make my husband…? (-_-) Just yesterday, I got an email saying, “I bought a Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)!” (lol). As far as I know, the cars...

Porsche Seriously Modifies the 919 Hybrid, Beats F1 Times to Become Spa’s Fastest

The 919 Hybrid’s Final Season Porsche announced its withdrawal from the WEC after the 2017 season. When I visited the WEC at Fuji Speedway last year, I saw the 919 Hybrid up close and thought, “So this is the car that won Le Mans 24 Hours three times. But this is the last time the 919 Hybrid will come to Japan, so this is really the final viewing.” (*I was able to see the 919...

How Could I Be So Silly to Pass Up the Chance to Drive the Romantic Road in a Porsche?

In My 36 Years of Life I’ve lived 36 years so far, and I don’t have many regrets in life. I’ve always done what I wanted at the time, and I love the life I have now. But that doesn’t mean “everything in life has gone smoothly and been fun.” On the contrary, I’ve had more failures than successes, faced many setbacks, and experienced plenty of tough times.

Don’t Take Photos of Your Car Yourself

A Sunny Sunday at the Higashi-Rokko Observatory Last weekend, when I went to the Higashi-Rokko Observatory on the Royu Driveway, I saw a group of university students with DSLR cameras snapping photos of the cars parked at the observatory. Maybe because the weather was so nice, there were lots of sports cars and supercars like Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches, and the students were excitedly saying, “Today’s a jackpot!” as they took pictures. I thought,...
