Porsche 991 base grade test drive

The other day, I took a test drive of the Porsche 911, which is a blog reader. The 911 is a Carrera based on the early 991 model, and the option is "BOSE, electric retractable mirror, sports steering, seat heaterIt's as simple as "only".

And the body color is Guards Red.

Exactly what was in Momoe Yamaguchi's song "Bright red PorscheThe image itself. (Although it is not 991 in the era)

When I got to the meeting place and actually showed the Guards Red 911, it was already very, very beautiful. Red shines on any background and becomes a picture. It was so beautiful that I wanted to look at it all the time.

Also, unlike my GTS, my butt is small, and I feel like an elegant woman.Can you tell me this when I sell it? (I can't buy it yet)I even told the owner.

I actually got on it, but first of all, the engine starting sound feels good. Not too noisy, not too quiet, just right. When I started running again, even though I didn't have the option of sports exhaust,A pleasant engine sound with a uniform grain echoed from behind the body.

The sound was louder than I expected, and my husband

Don't make an engine noise. It's enough without a sports exhaust. The difference from Spoeg is that there is no bubbling sound when the accelerator is pulled out.

I said, but I thought it was true.

Also, the 991 that I tested this time did not have PASM, but the ride quality was so good that I couldn't believe it. It doesn't feel rugged even at low speeds, and it is smooth even at a certain speed.This is perfectly okay in the cityI felt that the "I'm a good person.

Considering that, the current 992 has a very hard suspension as a whole.

However, when I ran the corner of the Ashi Driveway at a certain speed, I felt a little scared. … But this is largely due to my driving skills.

The basic performance is very good, but when I run with a sense of stability of Carrera 4 GTS, "Oh, if you turn at this speed, you'll be touched a littleI couldn't run at the usual pace because I couldn't figure out how far the car could go.

Autumn Porsche 911 Early Festival

After that, when I stopped by to take a break at the observation deck of the Ashi Driveway, the 911.1 Carrera S Cabriolet was stopped!

Like my GTS, the body color is agate gray and the brown hood. It was a very cool 911 with the yellow caliper of PCCB.

Then my husband said, "Oh, this is Mr. ●●'s guy!And.

Yes, this 911 Carrera S is a cabriolet,The owner's car that I introduced in this blog beforeIt was.

What a coincidence ... Unexpectedly, the "Royu Autumn 991 First Half Festival", which is not the Yamazaki Autumn Bread Festival, will be held.

After that, when I got on the 911 Carrera S, I was surprised that it was completely different from the base. Is it so different for different grades and options?

I felt a little heavier than the base when I started running, but once I started running, it was still fast. AlsoThe effect of PCCB, the brake works better than the normal brakeTherefore, the corners can be turned in a stable manner. The feeling of ground contact is strong, and there is almost no roll.

Also, it was already nice to run in manual mode while feeling the autumn breeze while the engine sound was pouring down from above when it was open.

I even thought, "I want to keep riding like this forever" (laughs)

The true appeal of Porsche's base grade

After that, I got on the passenger seat of the base grade Guards Red 911 and experienced it with my husband's driving, but within a few seconds of running, I suddenly shouted.

Eh! !! It's completely different from when I drove! !! The car is lively! !!
...What!It sounds so good! ?? You can bend like this! ?? It looks like a fish that got water!
I don't think it's the same car I drove ...! !!

And.

When I took a video of the surprise at this time and looked back at it later, I think it was insanely interesting, but I was surprised and screaming from beginning to end in the car (laughs).

The car was so lively that I couldn't think it was the same car, and I finally realized that this 911 was a very good car. Husband too

Because it ’s a good car,It's a waste if you don't run while maintaining a high rpm to some extentcircle. I really like the running of my GTS, but in a sense, this base Carrera is betterYou can fully enjoy the fun of runningI think.
My GTS is a 4x4, so it's fun to run very stable and fast even in corners, but on the contrary, this simple 911, which is based and has few options,Run while interacting with the car, thinking about how to get over itIt's really fun.
The feeling of running while twisting the car, and the "" of the carI can still go! Can you follow me! ??When the owner replied, ran while breathing, and decided suddenly, it was the most fun!

He said.

I see ... no ... I think it would be fun if I could go to that area.

This time, I was able to compare with GTS, S, and bass in the first half of 991 at the same time, and I thought about this.

"People who are good at driving can enjoy the original fun of driving a car when riding Porsche's base grade (992 is too high performance even at the base ...). On the contrary, those who are not confident in driving a car, such as GTS The higher-end model has a stronger feeling of ground contact and less roll, so you can enjoy it with confidence. "

And.

From now on, I will do my best to improve my driving skills at Suissepo. Thank you very much to the owner who took us to this precious car!
