Test Drive: Porsche 911 Turbo (997)|The Origin of Turbo’s Dual Nature

Following my test drive of the 987 Cayman, I had the opportunity to drive the 997-generation 911 Turbo, so I’d like to share my report. Porsche 911 Turbo (997) The 997-generation Porsche 911 marked a break from the 996’s teardrop headlights, deliberately returning to the classic round headlights reminiscent of the air-cooled era. I vividly remember when it was first released. Its design evolved from the 993, featuring a nicely rounded body that strongly retained...

Test Drive: Porsche Cayman (987) | The Perfect Partner, Cayman

After discussing on YouTube and my blog how there are few test drive reports on generations like the 987, 997, 986, and 996, I had the opportunity to cover a late-model 987 Cayman this time, so I’d like to share my report.

Six Months with the Porsche 911 Carrera T|My Honest Thoughts After Owning It

The Carrera T Is Seeing Less Action It’s been six months since I took delivery of my 911 Carrera T.My first Porsche, and after much deliberation, I chose the Carrera T. The driving experience is incredible. Light, agile, with outstanding handling, and the manual transmission is so much fun—I have no complaints about the driving at all. In fact, the Carrera T is just amazing. But lately, I’ve been driving the Carrera T less and...

Porsche 911 Dakar In-Depth Review [Part 2]: Performance on the Highway and Final Thoughts

Following up on the first part of the article, this time I’d like to share the second part. Highway Performance: Stability and Power Once on the highway, still in the break-in period, I pressed the accelerator a little harder just past the tollgate. As expected from an engine based on the GTS, the power and torque surge impressively from a certain RPM range upward. At low revs, the Carrera actually felt more responsive and quicker,...

The Moment of Delivery: Expectations vs. Reality of the 911 Dakar This time, my younger brother purchased a Porsche 911 Dakar. I accompanied him to pick up the car and then we went on a roughly 900-kilometer grand touring drive together, so this report covers that experience.

Fully Loaded 992 Carrera S My younger brother bought another car. He’s the complete opposite of me—he’s a Ferrari fan, loves the G-Class, Lamborghini, Okinawa, Richard Mille watches, and Hublot—basically the textbook “successful guy” in every way (laughs). So naturally, he’s not a fan of understated cars like Porsche that focus purely on driving, and he often complains about Porsche’s minimal features and plain interiors. But this time, he surprisingly bought a Porsche after a...

The Carrera T was delivered at the end of May 2023. Time flies—it’s almost been half a year already. The current mileage is 5,500 km. Whether it’s going to the supermarket, taking the kids to the dentist or dermatologist, or just driving them around—I use the Carrera T for everything. Sometimes I think, “There probably aren’t many people in Japan who use their Carrera T this much in daily life.” Every day, I’m enjoying my...

The Charm of the Porsche 997 GT3: Rediscovering the Joy of Analog Driving!

For some reason, this blog has very few articles about the 997 or 987 models.It’s not that I dislike them—in fact, I’m quite interested in these Porsches—but surprisingly few people around me own them, so opportunities for coverage have been limited. This time, a reader kindly requested a feature, so I took the opportunity to test drive one and will share my report.As always, even though it’s a feature, I intend to write honestly without...

Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the 992 Turbo S.

So, I’d like to share again the true appeal of the Turbo S. Porsche 911 Turbo S For Porsche, the “Turbo” grade doesn’t simply mean a turbocharged car. Proof of this is that even the...
