Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS (992) Test Drive Review: How Does It Differ from the Base Model?

This time, I’d like to review the 992 Targa 4 GTS that I happened to test drive during my recent Kyushu tour. 992 Targa 4 GTS The Porsche 992 Targa 4 GTS is a unique model within the GTS lineup. The reason is that, unlike other GTS models, it does not come standard with the PASM sport suspension, but only the regular PASM suspension. This is related to the fact that the Targa model, having...

Kyushu Touring 2023 Day 3 with Porsche Boxster GTS (981)

Kyushu Touring Day 2 Off to Ibusuki Skyline On a morning when the sun appeared and the rain had stopped, we headed for the Ibusuki Skyline in the Porsche Boxster. This was the main destination of this touring trip. The Ibusuki Skyline starts from Taniyama IC, and after paying the 100 yen toll, traffic thinned out significantly. From the occasional viewpoints along the way, the majestic Sakurajima volcano peeked through. Some parts of the road...

Finally, the Porsche Carrera T Has Arrived at Our Home! The Countdown to Delivery Begins!

Carrera T, At Last It’s been almost six years since I started this blog. Back then, I launched it with a simple wish: “I hope to share the charm of our Panamera with more people.” Thanks to that, this blog has grown into Japan’s most visited personal car blog. To all the readers and my husband, who has been running this blog alongside me, thank you so much. And the dream I had since then—to...

My First Porsche Contracted… Porsche 911 Carrera T!

Porsche 911 Carrera T As I wrote in the title, the very first Porsche I contracted for myself is the Porsche 911 Carrera T (992.1). By chance, I got a spot for the Carrera T, and I kept it under wraps until I could share it on the blog. Now that the status has finally changed to production started, I’m excited to report it here. The Carrera T is a pure sports car that achieves...

Finally, I Signed the Contract for My Porsche 911!

Porsche 911 Contract The other day, I finally signed the contract for my very first Porsche, a Porsche 911. I can’t share the details about the model or specifications just yet, but I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that I have finally signed for the 911 (the photo at the top is of a GT3 we once had at home, so it’s unrelated). I started this blog back in June 2017....

Changing the Wheels on My Porsche 911 (992)! Impressions After Upgrading from 19/20-inch ...

Giving My Porsche 911 (992) a Fresh New Look It’s been just over two years since I bought my current Porsche 911 (992 model) Carrera Cabriolet. While mainly using it for everyday driving, I’ve also taken it to driving schools, run it on the circuit, and gone on grand tours. The mileage has now surpassed 13,000 km. Since I only drive about 6,000 km per year, I still feel like I haven’t truly mastered the...

Testing the Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet with PASM Sports Chassis

PASM Sports Suspension I’ve driven many current 992-generation Porsche 911s, but this time it’s a somewhat rare model equipped with the PASM sports suspension. The PASM sports suspension, also known as the PASM sports chassis, features a ride height lowered by about 10mm. The spring rates are increased, making it an option designed to boost performance even further. This PASM sports suspension is standard equipment on GTS models from 991.2 onward (except the Targa), as...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) ⑤

Famous Road: Ibusuki Skyline The trip is now approaching its final stages. Although I arrived late at the hotel the previous day, I made an effort to wake up early. I was a bit sleep-deprived and felt the fatigue accumulating. After getting ready, I got into the 911 and headed first for the Ibusuki Skyline. In my opinion, the Ibusuki Skyline ranks among the top 5 famous roads in Japan. I had driven it before...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) ④

Driving Around Omura Bay Since I arrived at the hotel later than expected yesterday, I started a bit later today. After getting ready and checking out, I decided to spend the day driving around Omura Bay. As soon as I left the hotel, I opened the roof and headed the 911 onto Omura Rainbow Road. Perhaps because it was morning, traffic was light on this fast winding road. Heading toward Isahaya City, I sped through...
