Test Drive the Porsche 911 Type 996｜A Masterpiece That Deserves More Recognition!

Porsche 911 Type 996 On this blog, I have experienced and reported on quite a number of 911s, from the original 911 to the ’73 Carrera and all the way to the 992 GT3, but for some reason, there are hardly any articles about the 996 and 997. Regarding the 996, I have done only one review of a later model Carrera 4S, but that car had modified suspension and wheels, so it wasn’t a...

Genuine Ducktail Installed on Porsche 911!

The Ducktail on the Porsche 911 Recently, Porsche unveiled the limited edition 992 model 911, the 911 Sport Classic, which is still fresh in our memories. This Sport Classic is based on the Turbo body and features a ducktail spoiler, paying homage to the 1973 Carrera RS (commonly known as the ’73 Carrera’). The very first production Porsche to feature a ducktail was this ’73 Carrera, developed to generate downforce on the 911’s body, which...

My Impressions After Driving My Husband’s Porsche 911 (964C2) for the First Time in a Year

A Year Later, Behind the Wheel of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) The other day, I drove my husband’s air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) for the first time in a whole year, and I’d like to share my impressions. My husband had urged me dozens of times before, saying things like “Why don’t you drive the 964?” “The suspension’s been refreshed, it’s way better now.” But I was reluctant to get behind the wheel. The...

What It’s Like When I, a Woman, Drive the New Porsche 911 GT3 (992)

New 911 GT3 Touring (992) A little while ago, I had the chance to drive the new 911 GT3 Touring Package (992/PDK). My husband also drove it that day and wrote a test drive article, so here I want to share my own honest impressions from behind the wheel. Until then, I had only seen the new GT3 in photos and videos, but seeing it in person for the first time that day, my excitement...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) Part 6 (Final)

From Miyazaki to Takachiho Having finally reached Miyazaki on this tour, it was time to head home, but first, I decided to take a little sightseeing drive around the Miyazaki area. However, it was pouring rain from the morning. The Cabriolet’s soft top was soaked beyond what its water-repellent treatment could handle. Opening the door quickly to avoid getting wet, I jumped in and started the engine. Leaving Miyazaki city, I sped along K355 and...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) ⑤

Famous Road: Ibusuki Skyline The trip is now approaching its final stages. Although I arrived late at the hotel the previous day, I made an effort to wake up early. I was a bit sleep-deprived and felt the fatigue accumulating. After getting ready, I got into the 911 and headed first for the Ibusuki Skyline. In my opinion, the Ibusuki Skyline ranks among the top 5 famous roads in Japan. I had driven it before...

My Image of Air-Cooled Porsche Changed! Test Drive Impressions of the 964 MT

Porsche Festival @ Royu Driveway The other day, I had the chance to drive an air-cooled Porsche 964 (MT). It was so much fun that my image of air-cooled Porsches completely changed, and I want to share that experience today. A few days ago, my husband went to Royu Driveway in the morning and came home saying this: Today, a 992 GT3 Touring owner even came all the way from Kyushu, and TAKURO-san showed up...

Test Drive of the Porsche 911 (991 Late Model) GTS | Differences from Early GTS and the S...

The Popular 991 Model Recently, the popularity of the 991-generation Porsche 911 has been steadily rising. The 991 is one of the 911s with a major difference between early and late models: the early models have naturally aspirated engines, while the late models are equipped with turbo engines. This time, I had the opportunity to test drive a late-model 991 GTS. In fact, I had previously borrowed a late 991 GTS for about a week,...
