PEC Tokyo: Starting Out in the Boxster GTS 4.0 The other day, I visited the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo (PEC Tokyo), and today I want to share my impressions of the “two-car comparison” program I experienced there. The program I joined was the 90-minute “Mid vs Rear,” which thoroughly explores the differences between mid-engine and rear-engine Porsches. The first car I got to drive was the Boxster GTS 4.0.

Until this spring, my husband owned a 911 GT3 Touring (991 late model). He was very particular about options and specs and agonized over selling it for months, but finally decided to let it go this spring. Recently, he said, “If I were to buy the new 911 GT3 Touring Package (992 model), this is how I’d spec it out,” and showed me his configuration. So, this is purely his personal preference and just for...

The Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Is Simply Wonderful My husband has always said, when driving the 992 911, “The 992 really is great~,” and when behind the wheel of the air-cooled 964 Porsche 911, “The 964 really is something else~.” But lately, his words have started to change a bit. Recently, he’s been saying, “The 964 is definitely better! If I had to keep only one, either the 992 or the 964, I’d choose the...

Test Drive of the New Porsche 911 Targa (992): The Most Luxurious Way to Enjoy a 911

The other day, I happened to have the opportunity to experience the new Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992 model), so I’d like to share my report. Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992) This time, I test drove the latest 992-generation Targa 4. It goes without saying, but the Targa is neither a cabriolet nor a coupe. The Targa bar, which corresponds to the B-pillar, is located in the center of the body, enhancing rigidity and providing...

Will Environmental and Noise Regulations Make It Impossible to Buy Gasoline Sports Cars?!

Engine Sound of the Porsche 911 (992 Model) I’ve been seeing more and more news about stricter fuel efficiency and exhaust emission regulations for cars. That said, I used to think, “It seems this trend is spreading in Europe, but it might be quite a while before it affects Japan.” However, it turns out we can no longer afford to be so relaxed—these impacts are already starting to affect us. Recently, I received a question...

Touring in the Porsche 911 (992)! Cruising Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads!

Heading to Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads It’s been almost a year since I bought the 992, but surprisingly, I haven’t really gone on a proper solo touring trip yet. I’ve gone to Fuji Speedway with my family and joined group tours with Porsche friends, so most of my drives have involved multiple people. I haven’t really done much solo touring. This time, I finally took out the 992 to join the Hiruzen MT (Meeting) held...

No Regrets About Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Thanks to the 992’s Presence

Do We Regret Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring? We sold our Porsche 911 GT3 Touring this past April. It was a cherished car, carefully specified and purchased by my husband with great dedication. However, its performance was so high that we rarely had the chance to fully unleash it in everyday driving, so we reluctantly let it go. Since then, we’ve received many questions like “Do you regret selling the 911 GT3?” and “Have...
