About the Base 911…<\/h3>\n

Regarding our family\u2019s Panamera replacement, I recently wrote that we had finally decided on the new 911 (992)<\/a>, and today I\u2019d like to share which grade of the new 911 we chose.<\/p>\n

To get straight to the point, we decided on the 911 Carrera Cabriolet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Back when we were debating \u201cCayenne? Taycan?\u2026\u201d I never imagined we\u2019d end up with a convertible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1 Why the Base Model<\/h4>\n

First, my husband explained why he chose the base 911 instead of the 911 Carrera S or 911 Carrera 4S like this:<\/p>\n

Considering that most of our driving is around town and daily use, 385 horsepower from the base model is more than enough.<\/strong> Also, having driven various Porsche base models, I really appreciate their well-balanced nature.
\nOf course, the “S” is fantastic, but paying an extra roughly 3.37 million yen just to get 450 horsepower? I\u2019d rather go with the base model and spend the difference on options I like<\/strong>.
\nAnd if I were to buy an S, I might as well go all the way to the Turbo S.<\/p>\n

Indeed, I recently had the chance to drive a friend\u2019s 991.2 GTS for a few days, and I felt, \u201cFor mostly city driving, this power is a bit too much and almost wasted\u2026 the base model is probably the easiest to live with<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

2 Why the Cabriolet<\/h4>\n

My husband has always loved luxury coupes like the Mercedes-Benz SL. (He once owned an SL500 (R129)<\/a>)<\/span> Initially, he thought, \u201cI\u2019ll go with a tough, no-nonsense base 911 coupe with just PCCB brakes<\/strong>,\u201d but that would focus too much on driving performance and overlap a bit with our existing GT3.<\/p>\n

So instead of leaning toward the GT3, I want to go in the opposite direction.<\/strong> Since I\u2019ve always loved the SL, I want this 911 to be as close to that vibe as possible.
\nPlus, having a roof that opens is a big deal. To put it simply, in stop-and-go city traffic, whether you\u2019re in a GT3 or an eco car, the mood doesn\u2019t change much. But the moment you open the roof, it instantly becomes something special\u2014that\u2019s the charm of a convertible. I used to care about rigidity and such with convertibles, but unless you\u2019re chasing lap times on a circuit, it really doesn\u2019t matter at all.<\/p>\n

He also wondered, \u201cWon\u2019t a Cabriolet overlap with our Boxster?<\/strong>\u201d but said:<\/p>\n

The Boxster is a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder manual GTS with amazing sound\u2014truly a sports car. But this Cabriolet isn\u2019t about speed; I want to enjoy cruising on the highway with the roof down, focusing more on comfort and a calm interior<\/strong>.
\nSo by leaning toward a luxury coupe feel, I think it will be clearly differentiated from the Boxster.
\nAlso, Cabriolets are relatively rare, so it won\u2019t overlap much with other new 911s on the street, and resale value might be slightly better too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3 About the Body Color<\/h4>\n

We chose the body color for the 911 as Aventurine Green Metallic<\/strong>, a new color introduced with the new 911. While navy blue looked cool, our current Panamera in Night Blue Metallic (navy) shows dirt very easily<\/strong>, so we decided to go with a different color this time.<\/p>\n

Crayon is also beautiful, but since our GT3 is Crayon, we thought silver tones might be better, so we debated between GT Silver Metallic and Aventurine Green Metallic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since the 992\u2019s design incorporates many classic Porsche elements, the calm tone of Aventurine Green seemed to suit it best.<\/p>\n

So our car ended up being a 911 Carrera Cabriolet in Aventurine Green<\/strong>. By the way, the soft top is brown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More on the 911 Cabriolet Specs Soon…<\/h3>\n

For this 911, we\u2019re keeping the wheels standard and are still debating whether to add the sport exhaust. Once the specs are finalized, I\u2019ll share more on the blog.<\/p>\n

However, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, Porsche\u2019s factory will be temporarily shut down<\/a>, so we don\u2019t yet know when production or delivery will happen. Hopefully it arrives before the Panamera\u2019s inspection is due\u2026 but it might be tight.<\/p>\n
