In Japan, the Porsche 911 is a 996 type, whose headlights are called "tear eyes" because of the appearance of the headlights.
I wrote earlier that this name is called "tear eyes" and that it is called "fried egg headlights" overseas.
At that time, "Well, it's the same as the nickname of teary eyes in Japan, and the general public just calls 996 (headlight) as a nickname." I was only thinking about it.
But! !! It wasn't! !!
Fried egg at 992 world premiere
Yes, at the world premiere of the new Porsche 911 (992) in November last year, which is a huge stage that Porsche fans all over the world are paying attention to, Porsche-san, as a matter of course, in the introduction announcement of 996 " "Fried Egg Headlight" was said to be light (laughs).

(The part of the article "Porsche called 996 a" fried egg "!")
No, at this tremendous official place of the announcement of Porsche 992, can Porsche normally call 996 as a fried egg? !! I laughed unintentionally ^^.
Like me like this
"Mr. Porsche, that wasn't really a bad thing to say a fried egg in such a place."
Porsche must have been concerned that there are people who think that. Because, look at this.
Fried egg in writing
This time, there was something that I couldn't help but want Porsche to officially admit, "Porsche 996 can be called a fried egg."
Here is it.
Porsche released on March 4th, ahead of the Geneva Motor Show starting March 5th, 2019
These Porsche cars saw the light of day in Geneva
The article says, "Fried egg headlights" is clearly written in the text, which I have already written this time (laughs).
It is the part of the yellow frame ↓
One more person laughed while reading this article. Porsche, I really admit that 996 is a fried egg ^ ^ It's so cute!
I really like Porsche's cuteness.
I keep making such a nice and cool 911, it should be a cool image, but if the headlights of our car are called fried eggs, I feel like "I like it!" I really love Porsche's playfulness, which we also officially call fried eggs ^ ^
"Fried eggs" will be a little more popular in Japan ... No, after all it may be "tears" in Japan!
I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
