The Ideal Specs for Buying the New 911 GT3 Touring Package! Should You Get PCCB? What Abo...

Until this spring, my husband owned a 911 GT3 Touring (991 late model). He was very particular about options and specs and agonized over selling it for months, but finally decided to let it go this spring. Recently, he said, “If I were to buy the new 911 GT3 Touring Package (992 model), this is how I’d spec it out,” and showed me his configuration. So, this is purely his personal preference and just for...

The Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Is Simply Wonderful My husband has always said, when driving the 992 911, “The 992 really is great~,” and when behind the wheel of the air-cooled 964 Porsche 911, “The 964 really is something else~.” But lately, his words have started to change a bit. Recently, he’s been saying, “The 964 is definitely better! If I had to keep only one, either the 992 or the 964, I’d choose the...

Test Drive of the New Porsche 911 Targa (992): The Most Luxurious Way to Enjoy a 911

The other day, I happened to have the opportunity to experience the new Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992 model), so I’d like to share my report. Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992) This time, I test drove the latest 992-generation Targa 4. It goes without saying, but the Targa is neither a cabriolet nor a coupe. The Targa bar, which corresponds to the B-pillar, is located in the center of the body, enhancing rigidity and providing...

How to Choose Your Porsche Model: Clarify the Car’s Purpose and Use First

Why Did My Husband Say He Wanted a 718 Cayman? When car enthusiasts buy a car, I think many of them struggle with the question of “Which model or grade should I choose from the many options available?” Especially with Porsche, each model has completely different charms, making it even harder to decide with thoughts like “That one’s nice, but this one’s also great…” running through your head. But watching my husband, I feel that...

Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Is an Absolute Must for Safety

Porsche’s Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Most Porsches from the last decade come equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM). While it used to be an optional feature, it has gradually become standard equipment, and now every model includes it. The TPM displays tire pressure in real time while driving and alerts you if the pressure drops beyond a certain point. What’s great about Porsche’s TPM is that it tells you exactly how much air to...

What Does “PTS” Mean for the New Porsche 911 GT3 (992)?

The Porsche “PTS” You Hear About Lately Recently, I’ve been seeing reports on social media like “I ordered the new Porsche 911 GT3!” or “I got allocated a production slot!” Among these, there are occasional mentions of ordering with “PTS.” It seems that previously, ordering with this “PTS” option from Japan was not possible, but since the 992 generation came out, it’s been heard about here and there. This time, I’d like to explain what...

Driving the Cayenne on the Highway in a Torrential Downpour

Driving the Cayenne in a Torrential Downpour The other day, I had the chance to drive the Cayenne on the Chugoku Expressway during a heavy downpour. I’ve driven the Cayenne in the rain many times before, but this rain was truly intense—like being inside an automatic car wash. Even in those conditions, the Cayenne felt incredibly stable and smooth, as if the rain wasn’t even there. Of course, I drove more cautiously than usual—slowing down...

Maintenance Costs for Air-Cooled Porsches: About 2.12 Million Yen Over 3 Years!

The Soaring Prices of Air-Cooled Porsches Recently, the prices of air-cooled Porsches have been climbing relentlessly. While used prices for domestic sports cars have also generally increased, the rate of increase for air-cooled Porsches is truly remarkable. Nowadays, even those in decent condition mostly come with price tags marked as ‘Negotiable’ or ‘ASK.’ Even for cars with listed prices, if they have under 100,000 km and are close to original condition, a 964 Tiptronic can...

Will Environmental and Noise Regulations Make It Impossible to Buy Gasoline Sports Cars?!

Engine Sound of the Porsche 911 (992 Model) I’ve been seeing more and more news about stricter fuel efficiency and exhaust emission regulations for cars. That said, I used to think, “It seems this trend is spreading in Europe, but it might be quite a while before it affects Japan.” However, it turns out we can no longer afford to be so relaxed—these impacts are already starting to affect us. Recently, I received a question...
