Main Topics and Contents

1. the story of the air-cooled Porsche 964 [02:14]

  • About the characteristics of the engine sound. Loud exhaust note like a motorcycle, but not spiky and bass like a truck.
  • The sound is mechanical when idling, but changes to a clear, tuned sound when turning over 3,000 rpm.
  • The 964's 3.6-liter engine is well suited to its compact body and provides enjoyable acceleration around town.
  • When you turn the steering wheel, it gets goofy and heavy, and there is feedback that shows the limits of the car. That is the charm of the 964.

2. recent price hikes of used Porsche cars

2-1. used air-cooled Porsche 964 car prices [17:14]
  • Check prices for Turbo, Speedster, Carrera 2, etc. Across the board, the prices are over 20 million yen.
  • The 964, which was purchased about five years ago for about 7 million yen, is now priced at nearly 20 million yen.
2-2. used car price of Porsche Carrera T (992) [23:40]
  • About a year after the new car's release, the Carrera T's used car inventory has increased, but still retains prices above new car prices.
  • Many units cost more than 26 million yen including options. Prices are dropping, but only by a few hundred thousand yen.

3. the shift system of air-cooled Porsche 964 (Tiptronic story) [32:30]

  • The 964's Tiptronic is easy to handle and downshifts with light acceleration even in automatic mode.
  • It is so user-friendly that when purchasing a classic Porsche, Tiptronic is my first choice.
  • Another feature of the 964 and 993 Tiptronic is that it is sturdy and difficult to break. It is easier to handle than a manual.

4. about IWC In Junior [45:06]

  • Injunior's design is simple yet cool. There is no unpleasantness wherever you wear it.
  • Highly accurate, with a daily error of about 1 second. Good visibility.
  • There are white and black dials, both of which are cool.
  • I think it is the best design among IWC's.

5. delivery of Tesla vehicles [40:33]

  • All Tesla deliveries are completed online. Documents are also available online.
  • On the day of delivery, all you have to do is ring the bell at the service center and pick up the keys. It takes as little as one minute.
  • There is no delivery ceremony or owner description. Only a link to an instructional video about the vehicle is sent.
  • An experience similar to picking up an iPhone at an Apple Store when purchasing an iPhone. Simple enough to be sold at Yodobashi Camera and other stores.

6. similarities between EVs and Porsche [1:03:04]

  • The Porsche Taikan handles like a modern version of the 964. The car's reaction when steering wheel is turned is very similar.
  • Taikan handles so well that it can do "repetitive lateral jumps".
  • Even with electrification, the Porsche character remains, and it is likely that this is the standard by which it is measured.

7. enjoyment and charm of air-cooled Porsche [1:05:16]

  • Air-cooled Porsche, especially 964, is one of the few cars that can be enjoyed without going too fast; it is nice to drive at about 60km/h and enjoy the sound of the engine.
  • Driving in the rain is fun. The sound of the rain matches the sound of the engine and the road noise of the tires.
  • The proper way to ride a classic Porsche is to ride it clean, wash it when it gets dirty, and ride it again.
