In fact, recently...

Those of you who have been reading this blog for some time may have already noticed. I have been working on a new project.That he is becoming interested in 911...(-_-)

It was the Panamera that made me fall in love with Porsche.To drive a Panamera and fall in love with Porsche might be a wicked idea to a genuine Porsche fan.And they might kick you out and say, "That doesn't mean you know the real Porsche.

But also including my experience driving a 911 and a Boxster.(Well, I've never been in a Cayman), ,I was impressed by the Panamera's ability to combine the contradictory qualities of "luxury and sportiness" and "overwhelming performance and comfort" at a high level.I was fascinated by the Panamera GTS. Since then, "to buy a Panamera GTS" became my goal.

Then my husband bought a Panamera Edition for the family, and last year we replaced it with a new Panamera Turbo...See, you have to buy the car you like with your own money!"So my goal of buying a Panamera for myself was ongoing....

Edition -> Turbo -> GTS...?

I started thinking this way a few months ago.

I've driven the Panamera Edition (970), driven the Panamera Turbo (971), and still furthermore, what's the point of buying a Panamera GTS?"

And.... If what I am driving now is a bare Panamera, I can see why I would target a Panamera GTS, but I'm driving a turbo.... Moreover, my husband is not a fan of the Panamera Turbo this time around.This is going to be a long ride for a while."He said that he may not have to stick to his goal of buying a Panamera for himself....

Also, the other day I went to Fuji Speedway and drove the circuit.I knew it would be more fun if it was a 911."and feeling, and seeing the various types of 911s that were in attendance.911 is so cool."I began to think.(Now that you mention it...)I don't know, it sounds like you're making some kind of excuse...

If you're "getting interested in the 911", that's your personal choice and should be totally fine, but for some time now I've been hearing a lot of "Panamera! Panamera, definitely Panamera over 911!" So, I have a bit of a guilty conscience about it.(overthinking it?)but I'm not going to get into it, so I'm going to try the car configurator to see if it works.If I were to buy a 911, what would it look like?"We decided to simulate the

Look at the 911 model lineup.

I'm a little nervous. First of all.Porsche Japan's official websiteand looked at the 911 lineup and was very surprised!

High!

No, I've been looking at it for a while now, but looking at it again more closely, it's expensive.The bare Panamera is priced at "11,620,000 yen", which is about 1,000,000 yen more than the Panamera in its bare form.So, after looking at the "911 Quick Reference Guide" my husband made the other day and thinking about it.

→directional marker or indicator[Past Article] I made a "Porsche 911 Lineup Quick Guide" - Which one is the best for me?

Perhaps I'm better off with four-wheel drive and don't have to indulge in that much sportiness, but it's good enough for me."So I decided to choose the 911 Carrera 4.

Finally, we come to the car configurator screen.

First, choose an exterior color (color of the exterior).

I've seen a lot of white ones, but black isn't my style, and yellow isn't right either. Silver is beautiful, but it's a more expensive option... Okay, I'll go with red!

Therefore.Gerd's Red."selection.

Next, wheels. The standard wheels are 19-inch Carrera wheels, but we decided that it would be cooler to use 20-inch wheels for a leg-lengthening effect.20-inch Carrera S wheels.selection.

Next is the interior color and seats. For this, we had a Panamera edition with a beige interior that was cool, but it was just so dirty that wiping it down didn't work, and our kids are still small and we didn't want to risk getting it dirty.Selected "black" as a safe choice.

→[Past Article] I tried to clean the stains on the leather seats of the Panamera as much as possible [with pictures].

So, let's skip the seat-related stuff and get to the optional equipment. The back of the car says "911Carrera4" if it were standard, butI wanted to keep it somewhat simple, so I selected "911" only.

From there, it's just a matter of time before

choice. Or rather.If you can't drive a manual, you'll inevitably have to choose PDK, which will automatically add $650,000 to the price. ((((; ))))(I can drive a manual car after I got my AT license... but I still can't.)

Then click on "Show Selected Results"...

Base price: 13,720,000 yen!
Price for equipment(Optional)3,182,000 yen!
Total selling price: 16,902,000 yen!

*By the way.This link

Wow, expensive.

There's gotta be a good used car out there!

And...If this is the case, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a used car with some options and low mileage?"So I decided to search on Car Sensors and Goo.

But the Carrera 4 itself was hard to find.Also, the body colors listed are almost exclusively white, black, and silver. When it came to red and orange, it was usually GT3.

Hmmm, difficult...(-_-)

So I emailed my husband.(Sorry, I'm at work.)

I tried to figure out the specifications of the Carrera 4 on the car configurator, but the options alone cost over 3 million yen, so I looked for a used car, but there were no red Carrera 4s to be found.And.

Then the reply came.

I don't see much red, I think people prefer flashy colors when they get to GT3 or so.

I see...Then I guess I should consider buying myself a new car."I sent this reply.

If it's a Carrera 4, it's better to keep it as bare bones as possible, and keep it simple with just a sport chrono with spoeg and sport chrono.Option fees are not really taken into account when selling.I'm not sure why. Also, the dealer said that visually obvious options (wheels, sunroof, etc.) will cost more.

Wow, Holy shit, I didn't know that.

I'm sure you're thinking, "I should install the Porsche Entry Drive System, though, right? It's a hassle to open a door that isn't automatic, isn't it?"I replied.

I don't want an entry drive system in my 911 or Boxster.Such sports cars want to bother with the ritual of inserting the key and turning it.

I see... a ritual. Sure, Porsches still turn the key and start the engine, but the dealerships about it.

The engine still starts by turning the ignition key, not by pushing a button. It's a Porsche thing to do."

I remember saying.

Consider the specifications again based on her husband's advice.

So I did the car configurator again and the options are as follows.

This is what happened when I tried to

Total selling price: 15,542,000 yen

Well, I've cut a lot of stuff out, but I don't feel like it's getting any cheaper (-_-)... Well, I know that if I were to buy it, I would have at least this much.

Rear axle steering issue.

And when my husband came home that day, he said, "I did this to the Carrera 4 specs!" I told him.

But if it's a 4, you can't put a rear axle steering wheel on it.

I was wondering if it was a good idea. I'm not that kind of a sporty person, so I felt like it would be a waste of my treasure even if I put on the S.... Then my husband continued

But in the end, I would think, "Oh, but the GTS has everything I need, but the GTS and the turbo are the same price, so I guess I should go with the turbo. I'll go for the Turbo S! Porsche is very good at that.

He said. Well, whatever it is, I know how much it would cost if I were to buy it, and then there's the maintenance costs. Now that I have a concrete picture, okay, let's get to work!
