Well, the first article of the new year is a test drive of the Panamera 4E-Hybrid.

At Ashiyu Driveway

Late last year, I was able to test drive a Panamera 4E-Hybrid for a blog reader.

In fact, more than a year ago, when we were still considering a potential replacement for our Panamera.Would you like to take a test drive?I had been asked to be a part of this project.

However, with my pregnancy, the new coronavirus, and the birth of my child, I was unable to take advantage of the opportunity, and I was finally able to ride the other day.

The Panamera was the first Porsche I drove and the first car that fascinated me.Panamera is the reason I started this blog.extent(I also changed the URL of this blog to panamera-life)I really love this car, so I was really looking forward to the day of the test drive to see how its hybrid model would drive.

The test drive location is, as always, Ashiyari Driveway.I checked the weather forecast in advance and chose the warmest day with the best chance of clear skies, and made arrangements to have the children babysat.

It's been a while since a couple was able to go to Ashiu Driveway together, and my husband had his GT3 ready to go!But... as usual, the day before the event, the forecast changed to rain.

...I knew it, I knew it was going to happen anyway.

The day of the event, the skies were gloomy from the morning. I left home a little early and decided to drive around Ashiu, but as soon as I got ready and got into the GT3, it started to rain.

My husband, too.

Why is that? She really is an amazing rainy woman. It's bound to rain when I go out. I go to Ashiyu all the time, but it rarely rains. You must really be hated by Ashiyu.

He was stunned.

I wonder if I should go for an exorcism or something... (-_-)

I got myself together and decided to let my husband drive and enjoy the GT3, butWith the rain and cool temperatures, the GT3 Cup tires had no grip at all.The conditions were such that even when driving straight at 50 km/h, I would slip roughly. My husband, too.

This is scary. I'll have to take it slow today.

I drove slowly for a bit in Ashiari. I drove a little bit through Ashiu, saying, "I'm going to go to theIt's too bad it's been months since we've had a drive without the kids.I thought to myself, "I'm not driving at a sluggish pace in these road conditions," but I decided to go to the appointed place early and wait.

Panamera 4E-Hybrid is here.

After a while, a sapphire blue metallic Panamera 4E-Hybrid came from the other side. So cool! The bright blue body looked so beautiful on the rainy day.

In fact, I had previously purchased a 971 Panamera.I agonized until the last minute over whether to choose Sapphire Blue Metallic or Night Blue Metallic as the body color.

It's just that "Sapphire blue is cool but stands out, so let's go with navy blue.So we finally decided on Night Blue Metallic. But my husband took one look at this sapphire blue Panamera.

Panamera, I should have gone with sapphire blue... so cool! I'm gradually running out of choices for this color too...

(laughter).

Since this Panamera is a hybrid model, I thought the brake calipers would be acid green, but they are black. Moreover, the door knobs are also black, and the interior seat belts are Bordeaux, which is very stylish.

Therefore, I will write about my impressions of the Panamera 4E-Hybrid as I drive it.
