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

About the Base 911… Regarding our family’s Panamera replacement, I recently wrote that we had finally decided on the new 911 (992), and today I’d like to share which grade of the new 911 we chose. To get straight to the point, we decided on the 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Back when we were debating “Cayenne? Taycan?…” I never imagined we’d end up with a convertible. 1 Why the Base Model First, my husband explained why...

Our Family’s Car Choice: The New Porsche 911 (992) Is Decided!

Next Candidate After the Panamera Since last fall, we’ve been going back and forth, agonizing over “what to do about replacing our Panamera that’s almost been with us for three years.” (I wrote about the candidate cars in this earlier article.) This summer, with our third child born, our family will become five members, and naturally, when choosing a car, the thought was “if it’s Porsche, then it has to be the Cayenne.” But it...

[Reader Report] Impressions of Driving the New Porsche 911 (992) on the German Autobahn

A Journey to Porsche’s Homeland, Germany It’s been about five years since my husband and I rented a Porsche and drove on the Autobahn and the Romantic Road during our trip to Germany.

Is the Porsche 911 (991) More Fun Than the New 992?

911DAYS My husband buys and thoroughly reads every magazine featuring Porsches he’s interested in. When he was considering purchasing an air-cooled 911, he ordered magazines from the time the 964 was released and looked at them daily. Recently, perhaps because he’s waiting for delivery of a 911 GT3 (991.2), he’s been frequently reading magazines featuring the 991. Then the other day, I found the 75th issue of 911DAYS sitting on his study desk. At this...

New Porsche 911 (992): The Specs My Husband Would Choose! — A Configurator Estimate

Our Usual Configurator Ritual Whenever Porsche releases a new model, my husband has made it a habit to open Porsche Japan’s car configurator and say, “If it were me, this is what I’d pick~,” while imagining the specs. Even though he’s not actually buying one, haha.(In the past, he even planned out specs for the new Cayenne.) Since the new 911 (992) was announced last year, he’s been devouring YouTube and automotive media test drive...

How Far Will They Go?! A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Development of the New Porsche 911...

Video on the Development of the New 911 The other day, my husband told me, “There’s a video showing how the new 911 (992) was developed,” and sent me the URL. The video is titled “Porsche 911 (992) – HOW IT’S DESIGNED” and runs for about 30 minutes. I thought, “30 minutes is quite long (-_-),” but I watched it right away… As expected from Porsche, the behind-the-scenes development was so intense that I sighed,...
