Impressions After a Week with the Porsche Macan｜How Does It Differ from the Cayenne and ...

Macan S The other day, my 991 early Carrera 4 GTS was due for inspection, so I took it to the dealer. At that time, I was able to borrow a Macan S as a loaner, so I’d like to share my impressions. This Macan is the pre-touchscreen interior model currently on sale, featuring the 2019 minor facelift with the connected rear tail lamps, often called the mid-cycle model. The specs include a 3.0 L...

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.

Testing the 911 Carrera 4 GTS on the Circuit Recently, I participated in a driving event hosted by the magazine ‘911Days.’ The venue was Fuji Speedway, a track I have driven many times before during driving schools and other events. This time, I brought out the early 991 Carrera 4 GTS. It’s the last naturally aspirated 3.8L engine Carrera combined with all-wheel drive in the GTS model. While I’ve driven RR and mid-engine Porsches on...

The day has finally arrived. It’s time to test drive the latest 992-generation 911, and not just any model—the newest GT3. Speaking of the GT3, I previously owned the late-model 991 GT3 Touring Package. I also currently own a 992 Carrera, so I’d like to explore the appeal of the new GT3 while comparing it to the previous GT3 and Carrera models. 992 Porsche 911 GT3 This time, I had the chance to test drive...

Exquisite Air-Cooled Porsche 964｜Complete Delivery Story and Test Drive Review

I’d like to report on the delivery process and my impressions from test driving the Porsche 911 (964 model) of my good friend TAKURO, which was finally delivered. 964 Delivery Last autumn, one morning while casually browsing Instagram, I saw a story from a certain shop announcing that a 964 with a manual transmission had arrived. I captured the screen and immediately emailed TAKURO, who had been searching for a 964. He quickly contacted the...

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...

Test Drive: Porsche 964 Carrera RS (Touring) – What Sets It Apart from the Standard Carrera?

Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964 Model) It’s been about three and a half years since the air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) Carrera 2 came to our home. Captivated by the analog feel that modern Porsches no longer have, and the handling that directly reflects driving skill, I still find the 964 endlessly fresh and enjoyable to drive. It’s a car that’s fun even without pushing it hard, enjoyable at any speed or situation—from city streets...

Test Drive of the Panamera GTS (Late 970): What Only the 970 Has, What Only the GTS Has

This blog was started by my wife, inspired by the arrival of our 970 Panamera Edition (base model). She was deeply impressed by its driving, and almost every day she would tell me about the Panamera’s charms. Naturally, I also really liked the 970 Panamera, and especially the Edition was a wonderfully balanced car that made driving truly enjoyable. This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the GTS, so I’d like to share...

What’s the Difference Between the 981 Cayman and 718 Cayman? Which One Suits You?

The other day, I had the chance to borrow a base model 718 Cayman as a loaner. And just about a month ago, I also happened to drive a base model 981 Cayman. This time, rather than a test drive report or review, I want to focus on the characteristics I feel these two 98x-series cars have, and what exactly sets them apart. The 718 and 981 Caymans To be precise, 718 is the model...
