Today’s PECLA Article: Part 2

Yesterday, I introduced various facilities inside the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles (PECLA) in an article,

and today is the second part. The PECLA parking lot is filled with many different Porsches, and just looking at them is a joy. There were probably around 150 cars parked, including 911s, Boxsters, Caymans, Macans, and Cayennes (no Panameras though). Many of the body colors were rare to see in Japan and looked beautiful.

Now then, for today’s second part, I’d like to introduce ten Porsches displayed at the PECLA entrance, from classic masterpieces to the latest models, one by one.

New Models and Race Cars

The display area is lined with Porsches like this. This photo was taken from behind, showing the cars beautifully arranged in three rows, each with a description of the model beside it.

① Porsche 918 Spyder

The first car that made me think “This is seriously cool!” was the 918 Spyder. Its shape resembles the “Mission E” concept that preceded Porsche’s electric Taycan. It’s amazing that a car with such a form was actually produced. Only 918 units were made worldwide in 2015, and it sold out immediately.

② GT2 RS (Weissach Package)

Displayed at the very back in the center was this GT2 RS with the Weissach Package. Incredible… the Weissach Package reportedly costs over 3 million yen as an option. Looking closely, you can clearly see carbon fiber used throughout. No wonder it’s so expensive.

③ Porsche 919 Hybrid Sports

The race car 919 Hybrid. I had only seen the white-bodied “919 Hybrid Evo” and “919 Hybrid Tribute” before, so I was used to thinking of the 919 as white-bodied, but the red is really cool too. And that huge “DMG MORI” logo… they must be paying a fortune for that advertising (laughs).
