The Impact of the Taycan Turbo GT – Why I Wanted to Own It Even More Than a 911 (Part 1)

How the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Changed Our Family Garage Lineup The arrival of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Package brought an unexpected shift to our home garage. At first, I didn’t plan to keep this car for long. Given that it’s a radical machine also used as the Formula E safety car, I assumed it would be limited to circuit use and select winding roads, difficult to drive, and hardly suitable for daily...

Winter Snow Drive in the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 Early Model)

Winter Porsche: The Carrera 4 GTS March has arrived, bringing warmer temperatures and pleasant sunny days. Our early 991 Carrera 4 GTS has been with us for about a year and a half. It’s running superbly, with a sharp engine response and an exhaust note that seems to be getting even louder and more thrilling. Originally, I wanted to own an all-wheel-drive Carrera, so I chose the Carrera 4 GTS. Since I wanted to drive...

Test Driving the Porsche 911 Carrera (991.1): Why the Base Carrera Is So Good

Since purchasing the 991.1 (early 991) Carrera 4 GTS, I’ve become completely captivated by the early 991 generation. Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the base (standard) 991 Carrera, so I’d like to share my report along with some thoughts on the appeal of the “pure” 911. Why Do Porsche Enthusiasts Return to the Base 911? This is something I had heard many times even before owning a Porsche: well-known automotive critics and...

Why Did I Buy the Four-Wheel Drive Porsche 911? And Why the GTS?

Why Did I Choose the Four-Wheel Drive 911? When people think of the Porsche 911, many imagine it as an RR (rear-engine, rear-wheel drive) car. I’m no different. To me, the 911 is synonymous with RR. However, as you know, there are four-wheel drive models of the 911. These include the Carrera (Targa) 4 series and the Turbo models. The first Carrera 4 was the 964 generation, which, according to period documents, featured a fixed...

Purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 Early Model) It had been almost half a year since I parted ways with my GT3 Touring Package. Recently, I had been thinking that if I were to buy a Porsche, it would be either a base 718 Cayman or an early 991, so I focused my watch there. Then, a 2015 model year 991.1 (early 991) Carrera 4 GTS with 32,000 km appeared on Car Sensor....
