New 911, test drive

Now, the next thing you have been waiting for is a test drive of the new 911 (992).As a matter of fact, I(And her husband.)I had never test driven the new 911 until this time.While I call myself a Porsche blogger (laughs)

There were two 911s available for test drives that day.First, I was allowed to drive the 911 4S.Get into the driver's seat, fasten the door, and start the engine.

BOOM!

The sound was quite loud. The idling noise was also louder than expected.

I've just started running it, and it's just my personal opinion.The handling, body rigidity, and engine sound made me feel for a moment that I was driving a 718 Cayman.

I tried to turn a curve, and it turned smoothly and cleanly without any load shifting.Acceleration from a near standstill is also tremendous, even though the driver is not stepping on the pedal that hard, and the sense of stability is amazing.I guess I felt it was too much because it was a four-wheel drive.

In the end, though, the 911 4S test drive was over in a flash.I kind of didn't have time to feel 911...I was waiting for my turn in the hallway in a daze...but then, to no avail, I asked the instructor.

I had a chance to drive a 911 a while ago, but my skills were not good enough to experience the 911 at all. Is it possible for me to test drive the next 911 S with the instructor driving and me sitting in the passenger seat?"

I said, "I don't usually do that. I told him, "We don't usually do this, but this time the group was small and we still had a lot of time left after all the test rides were finished.

Holy shit!!!!

So, the 911 S was allowed to ride along with the instructor driving.

As I got into the passenger seat, the instructor said, "However, I won't skip that many wI said, "Yes, that's right..." and the car started off... and then suddenly there was a huge acceleration!

And as the curve approaches, the instructor still doesn't hit the brakes. He said, "Oh, no, the brakes are still on! I can turn!I was nervous, but then the brakes were applied much further back than I felt, and then the steering wheel was turned off...!

WOW!!! This is 911!

911 bent over with a swish and a squeak, shaking her hips. It turns like crazy...! I had just test-driven theYou sound like a 718.What was I thinking when I felt that I was "the best driver in the world".... I felt ashamed of my driving skills.

On a long straight, we stopped the car and asked the driver to accelerate at once. The acceleration was so tremendous that my body was pressed against the seat, and I even felt fear, as if I was riding a roller coaster.

(A participant took a picture of me. Thank you!)

This is what I call 911 acceleration...!

Then, at the very end of the straight, he applies the full brake and turns the curve with a swish. Amazing.... I couldn't help but think, "That's a lot of full braking from some amazing acceleration!When I say "the

No, no, no, now it's in normal mode and I'm only halfway on the brake.

And.

What? What did you say?

Then came the second lap, and although I had been looking only in the direction of travel on the first lap, I looked at the instructor and saw that he was holding the handlebars quite relaxedly.

The driving is very crisp, despite the relaxed style that makes you feel as if you are driving comfortably in the city.The steering is so quick and light that it feels as if the steering is lighter than it was when I was there." The steering is so quick and light that you may feel that the steering is lighter than it was when I was driving. And then, the furious acceleration that ensues. It is too much....

As we got out of the car after our quick two-lap test drive, one of the participants asked, "How did you like it?" but I was too excited to answer, "It was great!It was amazing! Professionals are amazing!All I could say was, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Afterwards, everyone else experienced the instructor's ride, but when they got out of the passenger seat, everyone was talking about it.I drive with plenty of room to spare, but I'm fast, wow, the pros are exceptional!He was very excited.

Well - it was a good experience.

The awesomeness of a professional driver

As I said, professional drivers are extraordinary. But what would it be like to be a Formula One winner?

While undergoing the Porsche Truck Experience (PTE) training, "I can now drive a manual transmission, and I'd say I'm about level 2 on a scale of 10.I thought it would be a "2" level, but it wasn't. There were 10 levels, or even 100 levels, and I had barely made it to the 2 level.

If you get a chance toHave a professional drive our Boxster or GT3 and study its performance in the passenger seat.I wish I could do something like that.

I'm not a teenager who wants to be a pro, just a mother of two Arafura who is fascinated by Porsche, but I would like to improve my driving skills to be as close to a true Porsche driver as possible.

The road is still endless.

    Hi Mina & hubby.

    Yes, there is.
    Professional instructor ride-along program.
    A little far from Hyogo? It's a little far from Hyogo, but it's a great opportunity to learn about the Tetsuwo Nagano Handling Club and Handling Club Plus, which are held at Twin Ring Motegi.
    Program. The instructor is former Gymkhana Japan Champion and GT driver, Mr. Xuya Yama.
    For more information, please see the Twin Ring Motegi website, but if you already know about it, I'm sorry.

    The Handling Club has an instructor driving your car, plus you get to ride alongside and watch yourself drive!
    The course is a special course with pylons, and it can be blown through in 2nd gear, so I don't think the speed will be that different from PTE.
    We can also accept orders for more underdraft, drift, etc.

    Basically, the objective is not to drive fast, and the main focus is to learn how the car behaves near the limit anyway, so if you take it to a spin, you'll find that the car will spin out of control.
    On the contrary, I get compliments.

    Personal names have been taken into consideration.
    No conflict of interest. lol

      Thank you for everything.
      So there is such a school at Twin Ring Motegi!
      I didn't know that. Thank you!

      I see that such schools are doing quite well on the circuit.
      It is quite attractive to have a professional get in your car and drive it.

      I knew the people of Kanto were good!
      I can go to Motegi, Fuji, and the upcoming Porsche Experience Center in Chiba in no time... I'm jealous (laughs).

      I wonder if they have one in Suzuka... i'll have to look around a bit!
