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...

Top 5 Scenic Drives in Japan I Want to Take with My Wife in a Porsche One Day

During Golden Week, I went on a 6-night, 7-day grand touring trip. Of course, it was a solo journey—or rather, a two-person trip with my Porsche—a trip spent every day chasing out great roads and driving hard. This year I toured Shikoku and Kyushu, and I’ll share a detailed report on that in another article. But this time, while driving, I was thinking about which roads I’d want to drive with my wife someday when...

What My Husband, Who Has Experienced Over 50 Porsches, Thinks Now

What Do We Really Want from a Car? Since starting this blog, my husband has had the chance to test drive not only the Porsches he owns but also many others owned by friends and dealers. “I wonder, how many Porsches have I actually driven so far…” When he counted, the number was over 50 cars. He often says things like this: “A car isn’t just about having power or being fast.” I used to...

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Touring in Heavy Rain

Porsche in the Rain is Also Great I’m well known as a touring enthusiast, but I actually enjoy driving not only on sunny days but also in heavy rain. So, when I see a forecast for heavy rain rather than just a drizzle, I sometimes get an irresistible urge to go somewhere. Why do I like driving in heavy rain? I can’t quite explain it well myself, but I love the atmosphere—the rain hitting the...

The Ultimate 911 Ever! Test Driving the Porsche 911 GT2RS | Can You Tame the Beast?

The Ultimate 911 GT2RS Weissach Package I’ve written many reviews on the GT3 before, but this is my very first test drive report of the GT2RS. First, let me explain what kind of car the GT2RS is, which belongs to a category above the GT3. Porsche’s GT lineup consists of five types. There’s the famous GT3, the GT4 for the Cayman, the GT for the Cayenne, the legendary GT1 (which is no longer in production...

Eleven 991 Early Model Grades Reported So Far So far, the 991 early models I have reported on this blog are as follows. I’ve experienced as many as 11 different grades.

Test Drive: Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (991 Early Model) – A Fully Loaded Masterpiece

The Early 991 Carrera 4S Lately, many people around me have been buying early 991 models. What everyone consistently praises is the NA engine’s sound and rev feel. While Porsche may still produce NA 911s in the future, this generation represents the last NA engine 911s from an era before stricter noise regulations and without GPFs. That makes many eager to get their hands on one now. I’m one of them, having purchased an early...

The Allure of the Porsche 911 as I Feel It

A Long-Awaited Drive in the Porsche 911 A few days ago, I wrote an article titled, “Why I Don’t Feel Like Driving the Porsche 911 or Boxster We Have at Home.” At home, we have Porsches that my husband purchased, but since he cherishes these cars deeply, I felt hesitant to drive them. Then, just recently, when I was going to renew my driver’s license, my husband said, “Since it’s a special occasion, why not...

Year-End Touring in a Porsche 911: Crossing Shikoku

Crossing Shikoku on Route 194 The morning in Saijo City marked the final day of our touring adventure. Although the snow clouds that brought a cold wave to the Japanese archipelago had eased somewhat, there was still a risk of snow in the mountainous areas of Shikoku. Checking the weather forecast, I confirmed the route. The 911 was quite dirty, its body sticky from road salt. Washing it now would be pointless since it would...
