GT3’s Front Axle Lift System The other day, I received this question on the blog. I’ve ordered the new Porsche GT3. Should I add the front lift option? It’s expensive, so I’m thinking of skipping it and spending on other options instead, but is it really tough to go without it? That was the question. The GT3’s front lift refers to the optional Front Axle Lift System. Because the GT3 sits low, there’s a risk...
What Is Air Suspension? The other day, I wrote that if anyone wanted me to review a certain Porsche option, please leave a comment. I received a request saying, “please write about whether air suspension is necessary or not,” so today I’d like to talk about that. Thank you so much for all the other comments as well. It might take me a little time, but I hope to write review articles in order. Air...
About PASM Following my recent posts, Should You Get Porsche’s Popular Option Sport Chrono Package? and Should You Get Porsche’s Popular Option Sport Exhaust?, this time I’d like to write about the PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) option. PASM is a chassis (suspension-related) option. According to Porsche’s official site, The electronically controlled damper system PASM enhances driving stability, comfort, and performance. It continuously adjusts the damping force of each wheel’s damper according to road conditions...
Porsche’s Sports Exhaust The other day, I wrote an article about whether you should get Porsche’s popular option, the “Sport Chrono Package.” Following that, this time I’d like to share some thoughts on the “Sports Exhaust System” option. ポルシェの人気オプション スポーツクロノパッケージはつけるべき？ With the “Sports Exhaust” option, when you press the switch while driving, simply put, the engine sound becomes louder than usual. Looking at the official site, it says: Activating the Sports Exhaust System allows each...
Sport Chrono Package When buying a Porsche, I think many people really struggle with the question of “which options to choose.” My husband often uses the configurator and mutters things like, “This option is a must… but if I add everything, it’s way too expensive, so maybe I should cut something…” (He even configures models we have no plans to buy, lol) Among the many options that people agonize over whether to get or not,...
GT3 Touring Package A while has passed since I wrote in my blog, “My husband ordered the GT3 Touring Package, and I want to share the details of the options and specs later.” 夫が ポルシェ 911 GT3 ツーリングパッケージ（羽なし）を注文してきた。 So this time, I’d like to introduce why my husband chose the GT3 Touring Package and decided on these particular options and specs. While I think options should basically be chosen according to personal preference, I hope...
Our Usual Configurator Ritual Whenever Porsche releases a new model, my husband has made it a habit to open Porsche Japan’s car configurator and say, “If it were me, this is what I’d pick~,” while imagining the specs. Even though he’s not actually buying one, haha.(In the past, he even planned out specs for the new Cayenne.) Since the new 911 (992) was announced last year, he’s been devouring YouTube and automotive media test drive...
When Buying a Used Porsche When purchasing a used car, you often can’t choose the options yourself, which can be a tough decision for many. So this time, I’ve put together a summary of the three popular options to consider when buying a used Porsche, including my actual experience with them. ① Sports Chrono Package – Engine Management This package adds a switch to activate Sport Plus mode and a stopwatch on the dashboard. When...
The Problem of Too Many Porsche Options While browsing the official Porsche website to check out the 911 specs, I couldn’t help but notice how many options you can choose from when buying a Porsche. Of course, it’s great to be able to add everything you want, but the option costs alone can easily top 4 million yen, so that’s not always realistic. Plus, it’s a waste if you add something and later think, “I...
Actually, Recently… If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you might have already noticed that I’ve recently started getting interested in the 911… (-_-) My love for Porsche actually began with the Panamera. Becoming a Porsche fan because of the Panamera might seem unorthodox to die-hard Porsche enthusiasts, and some might dismiss it by saying, “That doesn’t mean you truly know Porsche.” But including my experience driving the 911 and Boxster (come to...
