Fully Loaded 992 Carrera S My younger brother bought another car. He’s the complete opposite of me—he’s a Ferrari fan, loves the G-Class, Lamborghini, Okinawa, Richard Mille watches, and Hublot—basically the textbook “successful guy” in every way (laughs). So naturally, he’s not a fan of understated cars like Porsche that focus purely on driving, and he often complains about Porsche’s minimal features and plain interiors. But this time, he surprisingly bought a Porsche after a...

For some reason, this blog has very few articles about the 997 or 987 models.It’s not that I dislike them—in fact, I’m quite interested in these Porsches—but surprisingly few people around me own them, so opportunities for coverage have been limited. This time, a reader kindly requested a feature, so I took the opportunity to test drive one and will share my report.As always, even though it’s a feature, I intend to write honestly without...

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...

Test Drive of the Base Grade 718 Cayman (20-inch Wheels, PASM, Sport Chrono, Sport Exhaus...

Recently, I’d like to share my perspective on the base model (base grade) of the 718 Cayman that my wife reviewed. A 718 Cayman Loaded with Options I’ve previously test-driven two base grade 718 Caymans, but both had only the bare minimum of options. However, this particular car is very rare, equipped with 20-inch wheels plus the three essential options: the Sport Chrono Package, PASM, and Sport Exhaust. Base grade Caymans rarely come with a...
