Circuit Driving in the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Package! Impressions from Fuji Speedway
After Getting the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Package After driving about 800 km since purchase, I took the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Package to the circuit for the first time. And it all comes down to this one phrase — “I’m really glad I bought it.” My wife even said it was the most impressive Porsche she’s ever driven, and I couldn’t agree more. However, public opinion about the Taycan is somewhat mixed. Due to...

Taking the 911 Carrera 4 GTS to the Track The other day, I took part in a track day hosted by 911Days magazine. The venue was Fuji Speedway, a circuit I’ve driven many times before at driving schools and track events. This time, I brought along a pre-facelift 991 Carrera 4 GTS. It pairs all-wheel drive with the last naturally aspirated 3.8-liter engine offered in the Carrera. I’d driven rear-engine and mid-engine Porsches on track...

But then I decided to go along—the woman who seems to bring heavy rain, howling storms,...

I was about to get behind the wheel of a Taycan that hadn’t yet gone on sale in Japan. And not just anywhere—it was a...
