The bare 911's...

With regard to our family's Panamera changeover, we ended up with a "The new 911 (992) was chosen.I wrote the other day about the new 911, and today I would like to tell you about which grade I chose among the new 911s.

First, let me conclude.911 Carrera CabrioletIt was decided to

Cayenne? A Taicang? I had no idea that I would eventually land on a convertible.

1 Reason for the bare minimum

First, here is what my husband had to say about why he chose a plain 911 instead of a 911 Carrera S or 911 Carrera 4S.

Considering it's mainly for city driving and daily use.The "bare" 385 horsepower is enough.Also, I have ridden many Porsche "pure" models and found them to be well-balanced and really good.
Needless to say, the "S" is great, but I'm not sure I'd pay the extra 3,370,000 yen for the 450hp, which is the difference between the "S" and the "S"...if that's the case.I'd rather have a "bare" model and be able to add whatever options I want to it.I thought.
Also, if I buy an S, I'm inclined to go all the way up to a Turbo S in my mind.

And.

Indeed, I recently had the opportunity to drive my husband's acquaintance's 991.2 GTS for a few days, and he said, "If I do a lot of city driving, I can't have this feeling of power, so it's a waste....I guess the bare bones would be the easiest to use.I felt that the "I'm a good person.

2 Reasons for Cabriolet

My husband has always loved luxury coupes like the Mercedes-Benz SL.(in Japanese history)At one time, I owned an SL500 (R129).)In fact, in the beginning, my husband said, "Let's make it a hardcore 911 coupe with just a PCCB attached.I was thinking of "I'd like to use the GT3," but that would have made me focus on "driving" and would have clashed a bit with the already existing GT3, so I decided to go with the GT3.

I still wouldn't put it closer to GT3, but rather versus GT3.I've always loved SLs, so I'll try to keep this 911 as close to this line as possible.
And the "open roof" is a big plus. In the extreme, for example, in a city where there is a lot of stop-and-go traffic, driving a GT3 or an eco-car is not going to make much difference in how you feel. However, once the roof is open, it becomes an extraordinary experience, which is the charm of a convertible. I used to talk a lot about the rigidity of a convertible, but as long as you don't aim for good times on the track, it doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter.

He began to say. It's just that "If it's a cabriolet, won't it be similar to the Boxster we have at home?But my husband thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

The Boxster is an NA 6-cylinder MT, GTS, very good sounding, and a true sports car. But this Cabriolet is not so fast, and I want to drive on the highway with the roof open in a relaxed manner.I would rather focus on ride comfort and a calm interior.
So I think we can differentiate it from the Boxster by bringing it closer to the luxury coupe that we love.
Also, there are only a few Cabriolets, so I'm hoping they won't be too different from the new 911s I see around town, and they seem to have a slightly better resale rate.

3 About body color

The body color of this 911 is "Aventurine Green MetallicThe "Mere Old Man" is a new color from the new 911. It is a new color from the new 911. I thought dark blue would be cool too, but now I have one at home.Panamera in Night Blue Metallic (navy blue) easily shows dirt.So, we decided to use a body color that is not dark blue this time.

Also, crayon is beautiful, but GT3 is also crayon.... Then we decided that a silver color would be good.GT Silver Metallic or Aventurine Green MetallicI was torn between the two.

The 992 is a car with many classic Porsche elements in its design, so the subdued colors of Aventurine Green will suit it well.

So, our car is911 Carrera Cabriolet in Aventura GreenThe top, by the way, is brown. By the way, the top is brown.

911 Cabriolet specs to follow...

We are talking about keeping the stock wheels on this 911, and whether or not to add a sports exhaust.... Once the specifications are completely decided, I hope to be able to report on it on my blog.

butThe new coronavirus will also shut down the Porsche plant for a whileIt looks like it, so I still don't know when it will be produced and when the car will be delivered. I hope it will be ready in time for the Panamera's inspection...but I guess that's a bit too soon...
