How Does the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS Compare Across the 991 Generations?

My husband recently had the chance to drive an acquaintance’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he’s written up his impressions. The 911 Targa was a car I once dreamed of owning, so I hope you enjoy reading his take. Behind the Wheel of the 911 Targa 4 GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to drive an early 991.1 Targa 4 GTS, albeit briefly. Around the same time, I’d borrowed an acquaintance’s later...

The New Porsche 911 (992) We Ordered Is a Cabriolet!

The Base 911… I recently wrote that, after weighing the options for replacing the Panamera in our household, we had finally settled on the new 911 (992). Today, I’d like to share which version of the new 911 we chose. The answer? The 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Back when we were asking ourselves, “Cayenne or Taycan?” it never crossed our minds that we’d end up choosing an open-top car. 1. Why We Chose the Base Model...

A Family Road Trip in a Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster

A 911 GT3 and a Boxster The other day, our family took a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Boxster on a quick trip to Arima Onsen. We got the idea at the last minute, checked for availability, and found a room, so off we went. It was an unusually sunny day.

Unleash the GT3! Driving a Porsche 911 GT3 at Suzuka Circuit

Today, my husband has written about taking our GT3 to Suzuka Circuit at the end of last year. We hope you enjoy his account. Last October, heavy rain forced the cancellation of a Porsche driving school, so I never got the chance to take the GT3 on track. I took some time off at the end of the year and brought it to Suzuka Circuit for a proper run. Here’s how it felt, including some...
