Test Drive of the BMW M8 Gran Coupe｜How Does It Differ from the 840i and Porsche Panamera?

BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the BMW M8 Gran Coupe, so I’d like to share my review. I’ve written about this before on the blog, but I really like BMW as a brand. Especially the M3 (and M4), which I love, and it’s one of the three cars I’ve wanted to own at least once in my life—from youth to old age (Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz SL, and...

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...

Discussing the All-Out Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) – The Ultimate Grade

Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the 992 Turbo S. I’ve written a test drive report on the 992 Turbo S before, but some time has passed since then, and I believe my experience and impressions have evolved. 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...

Is Your Porsche Macan Early, Mid, or Late Model? Thoughts from Driving an Early Macan Turbo

Early Macan Turbo The Macan has a long model history and has undergone two minor facelifts so far. Currently, the...

Range Rover Autobiography P530 Test Drive Report

My younger brother, who occasionally appears on this blog, recently purchased a Range Rover Autobiography, so I’d like to share a test drive report. Switching from the GLS580 This Range Rover was purchased as a replacement for the GLS580, which I previously introduced on this blog. Thanks to its long wheelbase, the size is quite massive, comparable to the GLS. However, when viewed from the front, the width doesn’t visually appear to exceed 2 meters....

Is This the Perfect Machine!? A Porsche Owner’s Take on the 992 Carrera T Test Drive

The Perfect Carrera T The other day, my husband took the Carrera T (MT) to Royu, and had the pleasure of letting TAKURO-san, a fellow Porsche owner we always appreciate, drive it. TAKURO-san was incredibly impressed, saying things like “This is the perfect machine!” “So nice, so nice, I want one!” “C-can I have another go!?” “This is the Porsche I want most right now!”—he was full of praise, so my husband suggested, “Why don’t...

Still 2,500 km to go until the break-in is complete (lol). By the way, the vehicle manual (911 2022 model) states the following about the break-in period. When new, it is necessary to perform a break-in to allow moving parts to...
