The other day, I went to a preview prior to the opening of the Porsche Center Takanawa, so I would like to introduce that the Porsche Center Takanawa was such a place.

This Porsche Center Takanawa is ... actually ... that ... it's already very familiar to my family.

The reason why I was familiar with it before the opening is that the place where this Porsche Center Takanawa was made was the place where BMW Takanawa (Takanawa branch of BMW Tokyo) was before.

In other words, my home is the place of the dealer who was taken care of by BMW before, and I have been to this place many times in the past.

Because the BMW here has closedI had become a BMW refugeeThat's why (laughs).

This time, I knew from a long time ago that this would be a Porsche center (I happened to hear it from a place unrelated to Porsche), so I went to see it from the time it was still under construction. I was (I'm still a nerd (laughs)) ↓

* All the photos in the blue frame are past photos.

The Porsche Center Takanawa, which I have been watching (without permission) during such construction, will finally open, so I am deeply moved. Who is this, me (laughs).

The completed Porsche Center Takanawa was very beautiful, and although it was on the same site as BMW so far, it had a completely different "Porsche" atmosphere.

Look at it.

I went with a black carrera, but the figure where the black carrera is stopped is like "Is this the hotel's porte-cochère?"

Hmm, is this PC Takanawa wonderful? No, maybe because my black carrera is wonderful ^^?

Before entering the store, I suddenly looked at the left side of the entrance and found that an unusual car was parked ... This car is another ^^ ↓

PC Takanawa handles both new Porsche cars and certified used cars, and also has a maintenance shop

I will enter the PC Takanawa store immediately.

PC Takanawa is a store that handles not only new cars but also Porsche certified used cars, but it seems that new cars are basically exhibited on the first floor.

By the way, it looks like this when it was BMW Takanawa. The atmosphere is the same but different ^^ ↓

I felt that Porsche felt more spacious than it was when it was BMW.

I thought that I would not come to this place anymore when BMW Takanawa disappeared, but now it is a Porsche center that handles Porsche that I love this place.

In commemoration? Again, this is the BMW era ↓

In the new car corner on the 1st floorFrozen berry metallic Porscheand.

It was the first time for me to see a body of this color on a real car. Under bright sunlight, the color is light pink and metallic is conspicuous, which is the "Oh, frozen berry metallic feeling" that I saw in so-called videos and images ...

It may be hard to see in the photo, but in the shade, it looked like pink-gray, as if it was a pinkish-gray feeling.

It seems that the color that gives a different impression depending on the environment at that time is also the recent fashion of Porsche's body color (?).

Other colors, such as aventurine green and crayon, change in color depending on the environment.

Just above the entrance is the famous word of Porsche founder Ferry Porsche.

"In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself."

In other words, the reason why Mr. Ferry Porsche started making a car called Porsche in the first place, "I did not have a car that I wanted, so I made it myself (my own translation as usual)" Things.

Various spaces were prepared in front of the cars on display.

Porsche goods (Porsche Driver's Selection) is named Porsche Lifestyle

The so-called official Porsche goods that were previously known as the "Porsche Drivers' Selection" have now been renamed to the "Porsche Lifestyle".

There were also many products of this Porsche lifestyle.

Furthermore, in the back ... Can you see the Porsche in the back of the glass? ??

This will be described later, but the maintenance shop that is attached to it can also be seen from inside the store.

A PIT ShinonomeLike (compared to that?), It is possible to slowly look at the place where your car is maintained from inside the Porsche Center.

A kids' corner was also prepared for those who come with children.

Looking around here from above, it looks like this ↓

Hmm, I see something black in the back of the sofa ...

When I went further back, there was another Taycan.

There is also a space for business negotiations.

There is also a business negotiation room behind the Taycan, but I could not see the inside here.

For example, it seems to be used when a famous person comes in stealth (Porsche Center, isn't it particularly stealth?), Or when someone asks and talks badly.

... No, I added that it was a bad story when asked by people. n/a.

The maintenance shop has a work area for 9 cars, including a dedicated electric vehicle.

Next, I would like to take a look at the maintenance shop that is also located on the 1st floor.

There are two work areas dedicated to electric vehicles, and a total of nine work areas for seven other vehicles.

In the place dedicated to BEV (battery-powered electric vehicle), there was a lift dedicated to BEV, a place to put a blackish battery placed in the center of this photo, etc. ↓

After that, it is better not to happen, but in the unlikely event that the vehicle burns (risk of ignition), it is not easy to extinguish the fire of the electric vehicle, so a section to prepare for such a situation Was also prepared.

This is what I bought. ↓

In the unlikely event that it was determined to be dangerous (of course, before the fire), it seemed that the vehicle would be moved to this space for work.

In the unlikely event that the worst situation is really the worst, even if the vehicle burns, if you close the fire door and lock the car here, the worst situation will be only in this room. ..

Well, I will go around the next while hoping that such a situation will never happen.

Various Porsche (images) are displayed in the maintenance shop, and this is good ^ ^

Furthermore, this time, with such a system, it was possible to check at a glance the schedule and progress of each staff member, such as when, what, and what maintenance is in progress.

Let's go further to the back of the maintenance shop.

And this is the scene that I saw from the inside of the store earlier. This time, on the contrary, even those who are maintaining it can see that there are people in the store ↓

In this way, it is a good feeling of tension that the maintenance side is also seen by the customer.(Maybe it's not the real intention (laughs))..

There was also a device that you could see the alignment, so now it's just rightThe handle of my 911 is bent to the leftI

"Isn't it possible to have a quick (free) look?"

I tried to say it, but it didn't work (laughs).

If there is such a fine maintenance factory, I think that it is safe even after purchasing Porsche, and from the customer side, it is nice to be able to somehow see the maintenance.

Ah, it's been long only on the 1st floor, so I'll continue on the 2nd floor ~ ^^
