Every day I come across industry terms I didn't know existed.

Recently, when you sent us information about your car in the Porsche Owner's File, or when you were looking at a review in Motor Magazine.Hm? What does this mean?"I often come across unfamiliar words such as Even though these words are common knowledge for Porsche drivers and car enthusiasts, they are often new to me as an ordinary person, and I sometimes ask my husband to explain them to me.

I wrote down a few words around that the other day, and there were easily more than 10, so today I'm going toPorsche Glossary for Beginners.I would like to introduce the following. However, I am sure those of you who have been following this blog are familiar with the term...I wonder if his wife, who doesn't know anything about cars, would understand these words..."I would appreciate it if you could read it from the perspective of w

Examples of terms (1) to (4)

(1) MY2018

Initially, this "MY" was aboutMine."I thought it meant, "No, no, you don't have to write about my car," and laughed, but later I found out that I was mistaken and was very embarrassed.This MY stands for "model year.

In Europe and the United States, it is used to roughly indicate the year in which the car was manufactured. However, it does not necessarily correspond to the actual year, since the production of 2018 models, for example, starts in the middle of 2017 and the cars are sold after the third quarter of the year. Porsche also switches model years every year around summer, so a car produced in July, for example, would be in the following year's model year. By the way.Our Panamera Turbo was produced in July 2017 and is "MY2018".

C2S

At first glance, I thought it was "H2O"-like, an elemental symbol or something? I thought it was.(Am I the only one who thinks so...)What is C2S?911 Carrera (C), 2 wheel drive (2), S.abbreviation. So, a Carrera 4S would be labeled "C4S".

3) 991.1

The "996.1" and "991.2" are often seen as "996" and "991" are model numbers and also serve as in-house development codes. Also, the ". after the "." indicates whether the model is an early model (1) or a late model (2). Therefore991.1" is an early model of 911 Carrera (991 type)So that's what I'm talking about. By the way, our Panamera Turbo is "971.1".

2 + 2 sheets

Two adult seats with two occasional seats(A seat that meets the capacity standard, but is not space- and functionally suitable for an adult to sit in for an extended period of time. It is meant to be a temporary seat.)The name of the car indicates that it is a four-passenger car with the addition of a

So.The 911's seats are described as "2+2" seats, with "two" adult seats and "two" rear occasional seats.From my husband.

The "Ho Ho Na Question. How would you describe the seats in the Panamera Sport Turismo?"

When asked, "What is it?"2 + 3 (Polish)!!!"I answered confidently.

'Why, it's four plus one, and I want you to have a good time.'

I bounced back. ...I see, so that's how it is.

The Weissach package features"We have achieved a thoroughly lightweight structure, providing a world that is as close to motorsports as possible."This is to say, it is only intended for serious circuit driving.

911 Speedster

A limited edition model in the Porsche tradition, with a lower front window than a regular 911, a soft top that opens and closes manually, and a "double bubble" design.(like the Boxster Spyder)and other features. Each time, it is released at the last moment of the current model. Just recently, the new 911 Speedster was announced and became a hot topic.

⑩Air-cooled (Porsche)

The 996 and later Porsches equipped with water-cooled engines. Water-cooled engine is "an engine that has a mechanism to cool the heat generated in the engine by using water or cooling liquid. The cooling capacity is more stable and quieter than air-cooled engines. However, the structure is more complex than that of air-cooled engines, so more parts are used and the weight increases.

Today, it is world-renowned for its high-performance brakes for high-performance cars andInstalled on Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, etc.The company has been

Porsche's brakes are also made by Brembo, but I read somewhere once that Porsche does not simply install brakes made by Brembo, as other manufacturers do, but that they are developed and designed in-house and manufactured by Brembo.

⑰Recaro

⑱ Intami⑱ (Issue)

This problem occurs in 996 and early 997 engines. The problem is caused by the bolts and bearings on the intermediate shaft, which transmits the movement from the crankshaft to the camshaft, breaking due to aging. 997 later models have a direct injection engine and no longer have the intermediate shaft, so the intami problem is no longer a problem.

I'm sure there will be many more words I don't know, and when I accumulate about 20, I'll introduce them again (laughs).
