BMW M3 E46 Tuning Car Review – The Truth Behind a Custom Machine with CSL-Level Perfection

The Enduring Power of a Legendary Engine Even After 150,000 km This time, I’m excited to bring you a review of a tuning car after a long break. The car I test drove was a BMW M3 E46, and it turned out to be an astonishingly well-crafted custom machine. Previously, in August 2024, I reviewed the M3 CSL, a rare model with only about 150 units imported to Japan. The CSL is a special edition...

What Is the 991.1 Early Black Edition? The Porsche 911 Carrera 991.1 Early Black Edition was introduced as the final model of the 991.1 generation.

Recently, I’ve been driving the Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe. This is the 9YA (pre-facelift) Cayenne, the last generation before the full digital instrument cluster, featuring an analog tachometer. It sports a Crayon exterior color paired with the GTS Interior Package’s Alcantara and leather sport seats. The sleek coupe body is undeniably sporty and beautiful. However, once behind the wheel, this GTS reveals some unexpected traits. I want to share candid insights about the V8 engine’s...

What Did a Former Japanese Gran Turismo Representative Think of the Taycan Turbo GT Weiss...

My beloved Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Package. What is the true capability of this car? Am I just hyping it up? To answer these questions, I asked Tatsuya Sugawara for his honest impressions. Sugawara is a former Japanese representative in Gran Turismo with extensive real-world racing experience. He placed third in the FIA Gran Turismo Championship 2021 Manufacturer Series (Team Porsche) and won the Porsche Gran Turismo Cup Asia Pacific. So, what did Sugawara think...

A Luxurious Setup Worth 5 Million Yen in Options The 992 early-model 911 Turbo I test drove was truly loaded with options. With nearly 5 million yen worth of extras, the interior and exterior were elegantly coordinated in Crayon and Slate Grey. Features like the sunroof, sports exhaust, 21-inch 911 Turbo Exclusive Design wheels, Matrix LED black headlights, and Exclusive Design taillights gave it an unmistakably upscale presence. Inside, the 18-way adaptive sports seats with...

Selling My Fairlady Z NISMO: Why I Let It Go After Just 5 Months

From Dreaming of the Z32 to Making the Purchase Unfortunately, I ended up selling my Fairlady Z NISMO after just five months. Delivered in early February 2025, this car was the realization of a long-held dream. That dream dates back to the era of the Z32. As a child, I was captivated by its sleek silhouette and always hoped to own a Fairlady Z someday. By the time the Z33 came out, I was already...

What I Felt Switching from the 718 Spider RS to the 981 Boxster GTS

After completing the 1,500-kilometer break-in period with the 718 Spider RS, I switched back to my beloved 981 Boxster GTS for the first time in a while. The Spider RS’s incredible drivability made me briefly wonder, “Do I even need the 981 anymore?” But after driving both, it became clear they have completely different personalities. Even though they’re both Boxster models, the differences surprised me. It’s like choosing between eating yakiniku with sauce or with...

Breaking in the 718 Spider RS: Touring the Mountain Roads of Kiso and Shinshu

Impressions on the Highway: Underwhelming in the Slow Lane, True Potential Unleashed in the Fast Lane Taking advantage of a business trip to Nagoya, I embarked on a break-in tour with my freshly delivered 718 Spider RS, covering the mountain roads from Kiso to Shinshu. Although the Shinkansen was an option, I chose to travel in the Spider RS to fully experience the car. In total, I covered about 800 km and successfully completed the...

Stress-Free Enjoyment of the Spider RS Even in City Driving After logging about 600 kilometers with the Spider RS, I’ve made a significant discovery. No matter what road I’m on—city streets, mountain roads, or highways—I can fully savor the engine’s charm without feeling any stress from not being able to enjoy the GT3 engine. With my previous GT3 Touring, pressing the accelerator to enjoy the engine’s full potential and sound in the city often meant...

Striking Racing Yellow! First Encounter with the Spider RS The long-awaited 718 Spider RS has finally arrived. Seeing it for the first time in Racing Yellow truly confirms it as a standout color. In today’s lingo, it’s the quintessential “eye-catching” color. It commands attention against any backdrop without losing its presence. This color scheme deliberately tames the expansive yellow with black accents. By painting the PCCB brakes black and keeping the wheels black, the design...
