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...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992)③

Taking the 911 on a Ferry from Shikoku to Kyushu I had set my alarm for 5 a.m., but woke up even earlier. It seemed to have rained quite a bit last night, but this morning the rain had stopped and the air was refreshingly crisp. I quickly got ready and left with plenty of time to catch the 6:20 a.m. ferry. The hotel was right in the middle of a residential area, so starting...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) Part 2

Starting from Katsurahama The second day began in Nankoku City. The clear skies remained as usual. I had planned to get up early and take a morning stroll along Katsurahama, but I overslept. Hurriedly got ready and checked out. First, I drove the 911 to Katsurahama. After previously visiting the Kaizumi Shrine (Ryuo-gu) there, I felt my luck improved, so this was a thank-you visit. Though the sun was already high, the Pacific Ocean viewed...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in the Porsche 911 (992) Part 1

My Partner This Time: The 992 This year’s Golden Week gave me a rare 10-day holiday, so I decided to go on a long touring trip. Until just before departure, I was undecided about which partner to take—981, or maybe 991, or even a 964? But this time, I chose to take the 992 along. The reason is that although I’ve driven the 992 on long distances and on circuits, I had never really done...
