It has been five years since my husband and I rented a Porsche to drive on the autobahn and the Romantic Road in Germany.
I wish I could go back to driving on the autobahn in my Porsche. I want to live in Stuttgart. I really want to go to Germany in the near future.
He mumbles.It is difficult to fully demonstrate the performance of a Porsche on Japanese roads and highways.I'm not sure.
Five years ago, we rented a 911 in Frankfurt and drove a considerable distance along the Autobahn and Romantic Road to Stuttgart and Munich, but that was before Porsche came to our house and it was my husband's first experience with a Porsche. So, I thought, "What the heck...Now, I could have better control of the Porsche and enjoy it more.There also seems to be a feeling of "I'm not sure I can do this.
Then a few months ago. I received this message on my blog.
Nice to meet you, Mina.I have lived in Germany now for almost five years.It has been almost 3 years since I moved to Stuttgart. I have never been that interested in Porsche before, but where I live, I see so many Porsches every day that I started to look into what makes them so appealing, which led me to this blog.
At least once before returning home.I would like to use the Porsche Museum's PORSCHE DRIVE and take a ride in a 911.I believe that this is a good idea.
I told my husband about this message.
Wow, how I envy you! That's awesome! I can drive on the Autobahn and the Romantic Road as much as I want!
He was very excited. He replied to the message he received, "If you ever get to drive a Porsche in Germany, please let us know how it feels to drive and what you think of it.
Then the other day, I received another message from this person.
Finally.At the Porsche Museum, I was able to experience driving a Porsche for the first time.This was my first time to ride in a running sports car, including as a passenger, so my impressions may be very amateurish, but I would like to send my thoughts.
And.
Oh wow! Holy shit! ！！！！
I didn't expect you to really send me your thoughts on the Porsche.(That's rude...)I was very happy to receive the message from the sender of the message. I immediately read the feedback I received and found it so interesting that I decided to share it on this blog with the permission of the sender of the message.
By the way, here is the Porsche we were able to borrow this time.
Vehicle rented: Porsche 911 (992) 4S Cabriolet (Transmission: PDK)
Car Manufacture date: February 2019
Mileage: 6300 km
Cost: 399 euros for rental and gasoline
And what's more.New 991 (992)That's Germany!!! That's Germany!
So, I rented this new 911 for a whole day andImpressions after driving approximately 650 km on the autobahn and through German townsWe would like to introduce the following.

In a nutshell, my impression is.Driving is fun!It was a "one of a kind" experience for me. It was a very new experience for me, as I had previously thought of cars only as a means of transportation. First of all, most of the forest roads (national roads) between German cities have a speed limit of 100 km/h. On this day, there were almost no cars, and I enjoyed driving along the roads with many curves and ups and downs without any stress, listening to the sound of car engines.
It was also the first time for me to experience enjoying the sound of a car engine.It was. This may be because it is rare for me to hear the engine noise inside the car I usually drive.
Autobahn, although I was too scared to go up to 230 km/h.(And with pretty sweaty hands, too.)My colleague was up to 300 km/h for a moment.(There is an unrestricted speed zone on the Autobahn.)
When the speed exceeds about 220 km/h, the Sport Plus mode comes in handy and I felt the car stabilize. AlsoI was able to run for about 30 minutes at an average speed of 180 km/h. I had no fear and was very stable.I enjoyed driving the car very much.
In my usual car, I would feel a strong swaying of the car body at about 150 km/h, which would make me uneasy, but I felt such a sense of security, which I thought was only possible with a Porsche.
Secondly, there are a lot of traffic jams in the city of stuttgart.Stressful, perhaps after driving on forest roads and autobahns.I have had this happen. But this may be the same with other cars, not just Porsche lol. Also, when I had it open, I felt very comfortable and open in the city.
On the other hand, on the forest roads, there were many cows, horses, etc., and in the open, I often smelled their feces, etc. lol.
As I mentioned in the introduction.Really fun to drive.It was a great car that made me think, "I'd like to rent this car every day. But if you ask me if I would want to drive it every day...but I would like to rent a Cayman or some other type of car at least once a year.
I really envy you that you can drive a 911 in Germany. For me living in Japan, it is a world I do not know, so it is very interesting to learn about it in this way, and it also expands my dreams of traveling to Germany.
In fact, there are some reader Porsche owners who live in the U.S. on this blog.Since it is quite global when you think about it (laughs), I think it would be interesting to report on how it felt to drive a Porsche on foreign roads.
Thank you very much, Mr. S.!
