Test Drive Review of the New Porsche 911 GT3 (992)｜Truly Otherworldly! Overwhelming High...

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...

Long-Awaited 718 Cayman GT4 Test Drive Review: How Does It Differ from the Spider?

For some reason, this is actually my first time writing a test drive article on the GT4. This time, I drove the 718 Cayman GT4. I’ve driven the sibling 718 Spider several times, so I’d like to focus on the differences between the two in this review. 718 Cayman GT4 The GT4 is a grade developed by Porsche’s GT division, so its origins differ somewhat from the regular models. Equipped with exclusive features like Adaptive...

911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet This time, I had the chance to test drive the 991.1 (early 991) Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet. The name is a bit of a mouthful, but to sum it up, it’s the all-wheel-drive GTS model in an open-top version—basically the convertible counterpart to my own Carrera 4 GTS coupe. It’s an extremely rare model. Just the Carrera 4 GTS and the AWD GTS are already scarce, but add the convertible...

My Husband, Who Test-Drives Porsches Almost Every Week My husband often gets to drive Porsches owned by acquaintances, as well as cars from various other manufacturers, almost every week on the Royu Driveway. Later, he shares his test drive reports here on the blog. He says each test drive lasts about 15 minutes, but owners are often surprised and say, “How can you write so much after such a short test drive?” If he can...

Test Drive: Porsche 911 Targa 4S (991 Early Model) – Enjoying the Ultimate Ride with PDCC!

Porsche 911 Targa 4S Lately, I’ve had the chance to test drive the early 991 models quite often. Everyone truly falls in love with this naturally aspirated engine, unanimously praising its thrilling sound and feel. This time, I drove the early 991 Targa 4S. When it comes to the Targa, its production numbers are even lower than the GT3 variants, making it the rarest 911 grade. On top of that, this particular car is Racing...
