The other day, the long-awaited 911 Cabriolet (992 model) was finally delivered. I ordered the car at the end of February this year, so it took about 7 months for delivery, but(in Japanese history)The sense of schedule from order to delivery is described here)."I guess it will be much slower due to Corona.The car was delivered earlier than we had expected.
Photo taken immediately after delivery to the dealer.
A friend of my husband's sent me this photo because he happened to see it at the dealership.
Many times in advance, the configurator will show the "aventurine green metallicI had seen the body color of the "Mere Old Man," but the actual color of the car was deeper and cooler than I had imagined. My husband, too.
I had a hard time deciding on the body color, but I'm glad I chose this color. I heard that it is quite popular overseas, but in Japan, there are not many people who choose it, and I like it because I don't see it around town. As someone who likes to be different, I am very satisfied. It's very austere and looks like an adult's 911. I feel that the color goes well with the plain (base grade) 911.

I would have loved to be there for the delivery of the car, but unfortunately there was no one available that day to babysit the car...Only my husband was able to pick up the 911 Cabriolet.If my oldest son were a little older, I would take him with me, but as expected, a newborn baby less than a month old is impossible...
So my husband took some pictures of the delivery of the car.
Since it is the Sport Design Package, the aero differs from the standard model.
I love the feeling of excitement and thrill before actually meeting my car. And thanks to the coating, the body is shining and very beautiful.
Later, my husband came home in his 911 Cabriolet.How does it feel to be on it?I asked.
Yeah, the suspension is surprisingly stiffer than I had imagined. It is much stiffer than the Boxster, and it even feels similar to the 991.2 GTS with cup tires that I had borrowed for a while. Well, the suspension and bushings are still a bit stiff, since the car has only been driven about 20km, and the air pressure is still low. And the air pressure is still too high, and the setting may not be comfort pressure. I'll see how I feel after riding it for a while.
This was the case.
I was able to take my daughters for a short ride in the back that day, and the ride was definitely much firmer than the 992 I had been allowed to test drive before. However, the ride was definitely very stiff compared to the 992 I had test-driven before.It is not uncomfortably hard, but rather has a grounding feeling, just like a sports car.I had a good feeling about it. I thought it had a good solidity, with a stout body and a strong suspension that captured the road surface and conveyed information about the road surface.
At least, it is not so hard that it is tiring to ride for a long time.
And over the next few days, my husband drove about 400 km on various roads, during which time he also adjusted the air pressure a bit and set the setting to comfort pressure.
It's totally changed!!!! It's so much better! Especially after about 300km, the chassis as a whole has lost its austerity and has become very supple. I could tell that this 992 was built with the air-cooled 911 in mind, not only in appearance, but also inside. I am beginning to understand the charms of this car that I could not understand in the short test drive.
Often, a little test drive of the 992 by a person who has911 has become as easy to drive as a passenger car, and it's no fun.I've seen some reviews that say that the car is going in a different direction from the 991, but at least from my own experience of having driven 400km since delivery, I agree with some of them, but I would say the opposite. They are clearly trying to take the car in a different direction from the 991. I think Porsche made the 992 because they didn't want to be called that every time. This is a proper 911. I could write a very long review.
I was so excited that I'm going to ask my husband to write a lengthy review afterwards (laughs).
Wish I could go for a mid-range drive when things settle down a little more!
