Today\u2019s PECLA Article: Part 2<\/h3>\n

Yesterday, I introduced various facilities inside the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles (PECLA) in an article, <\/p>\n

\u2192\u3010Reference Article\u3011A Visit to the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles (Part 1)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

and today is the second part. The PECLA parking lot is filled with many different Porsches, and just looking at them is a joy. There were probably around 150 cars parked, including 911s, Boxsters, Caymans, Macans, and Cayennes (no Panameras though)<\/span>.<\/strong> Many of the body colors were rare to see in Japan and looked beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now then, for today\u2019s second part, I\u2019d like to introduce ten Porsches displayed at the PECLA entrance, from classic masterpieces to the latest models, one by one. <\/p>\n

New Models and Race Cars<\/h3>\n

The display area is lined with Porsches like this. This photo was taken from behind, showing the cars beautifully arranged in three rows, each with a description of the model beside it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2460 Porsche 918 Spyder<\/h4>\n

The first car that made me think \u201cThis is seriously cool!\u201d<\/strong> was the 918 Spyder. Its shape resembles the \u201cMission E\u201d concept that preceded Porsche\u2019s electric Taycan. It\u2019s amazing that a car with such a form was actually produced. Only 918 units were made worldwide in 2015, and it sold out immediately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2461 GT2 RS (Weissach Package)<\/h4>\n

Displayed at the very back in the center was this GT2 RS with the Weissach Package. Incredible… the Weissach Package reportedly costs over 3 million yen as an option. Looking closely, you can clearly see carbon fiber used throughout. No wonder it\u2019s so expensive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2462 Porsche 919 Hybrid Sports<\/h4>\n

The race car 919 Hybrid. I had only seen the white-bodied \u201c919 Hybrid Evo\u201d and \u201c919 Hybrid Tribute\u201d before, so I was used to thinking of the 919 as white-bodied, but the red is really cool too. And that huge \u201cDMG MORI\u201d logo… they must be paying a fortune for that advertising (laughs).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2192\u3010Next Page\u3011 Classic masterpieces like Porsche 356 and 911T<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

A Collection of Classic Masterpieces<\/h3>\n

\u2463 1958 Porsche 356 Outlaw Speedster<\/h4>\n

\u201cOutlaw\u201d refers to a restoration method different from the orthodox approach that uses period-correct original parts. As a Speedster, it features a lower front windshield.<\/strong> Whether original or replica, 356s from this era must be very hard to come by.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2464 1964 Porsche 356 Cabriolet Emory Special<\/h4>\n

This car was created as an homage to the Porsche 550, which debuted as a race car in 1954, by Rod Emory, the head of Emory Motorsports. It\u2019s a 1962 \u201cSpecial Roadster\u201d<\/strong> and is a rare model likely only seen in museums besides here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2465 Porsche 911 Speedster 1989<\/h4>\n

The 1989 Speedster model. It\u2019s an open-top car produced in a limited run of 250 units<\/strong>, and when it was announced, many people dreamed \u201cI want one! I want to drive it!\u201d It\u2019s a legendary car. The engine is an air-cooled F6 SOHC with 3165cc, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2466 1977 Porsche Turbo Carrera Coupe<\/h4>\n

In 1974, the 911\u2019s first turbocharged engine model, the 930, was launched. In August 1977, the 911 Turbo was announced with an increased displacement of 3.3L and equipped with an intercooler.<\/strong> In 1978, the naturally aspirated engine models were also switched to the 930. The 930 is said to be slightly larger than the original 911.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2467 1967 Porsche 912 Conda Green<\/h4>\n

When this used car was put on sale, it was once tagged with the catchphrase \u201cEvergreen. A somehow special 911.\u201d<\/strong> Indeed, it feels like a special 911. The millionth 911 produced was painted in a beautiful \u201cIrish Green,\u201d but this color is different and also very beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2468 1973.5 Porsche 911 T Targa Chartreuse<\/h4>\n

A simple 911T. The current generation 911T is, of course, sold in Japan, but manual transmission is not available (though it is available in Germany)<\/span>. My husband was disappointed, saying \u201c911T absolutely has to be a manual to make sense.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2469 1969 911 T Polo Red<\/h4>\n

This red was stunningly beautiful. The 911T was tuned for everyday road use, focusing on eliminating excess, and was actually priced lower than the regular 911. However, because of the focus on cutting costs and removing extras, its maximum output was only 111 hp, making it the least powerful model in Porsche 911 history.<\/strong> By the way, \u201cT\u201d stands for \u201ctour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An Impressive Lineup of Display Cars<\/h3>\n

Just outside the display area, in front of a \u201c70th Anniversary\u201d panel, stood a bright red 911. A bright red Porsche 911 is so cool\u2014I want to be that stylish woman stepping out of this car (laughs).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The cars on display here apparently change regularly, so next time I visit, I\u2019ll meet different Porsches. Some of the cars had \u201cPrivate car\u201d written on them, so I guess some were borrowed from actual owners.<\/p>\n

Personally, I found this spot more compact and concentrated with enjoyment than the Porsche Museum, making it a fun place to visit. I\u2019d love to visit other Porsche Experience Centers in different countries too. (Shanghai is close enough to visit… but with two kids, that might be tough.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today\u2019s PECLA Article: Part 2 Yesterday, I introduced various facilities inside the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles (PECLA) in an article, \u2192\u3010Reference Article\u3011A Visit to the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles (Part 1) and today is the second part.
