Porsche NOW Tokyo 04: Porsche Art, Porsche Pro, VR Experience, etc.

Porsche art

Porsche's pop-up store "Porsche NOW Tokyo" opened in Tokyo Ariake for a limited time from July 2020, but before the opening date,Official Facebook siteThe state of the preparation stage was delivered by such as.

There was a countdown of a few days until the opening, along with photos of the building being completed, but while I was watching the images and videos of the preparation, I was very impressed. There was something I was curious about.

Porsche graphic art by Moe Nozu

That is a Porsche picture drawn by an artist named Moe Nozu.

In front of one big wall in the Porsche NOW Tokyo store, Porsche NOW Tokyo's paintings of several Porsche including Porsche TaycanOfficial Facebook siteHas been delivered since the preparation stage.

Of course I wanted to meet the real Taycan, but I also wanted to see Moe's Porsche art.

Seeing this picture was one of the great pleasures of going to Porsche NOW Tokyo ^^

I entered the Porsche Now Tokyo store and confirmed that there was a white Taycan in the back of it ... but I just saw this picture.

It's real ~, I'm glad to see it in front of you ~! !!

One person turned his back to Taycan and stared at the wall ...

I don't know what to say to the artists, but my lack of vocabulary is just "good!" (I'm sorry I can only comment like an elementary school student ...).

No, it was really "awesome". It's okay to draw.

Porsche scrap wood art contest

And speaking of another art, the "Porsche Waste Material Art Contest" was also held.

Here, some kind of work is made using Porsche waste materials, and the producer is an authorized Porsche dealer of the EBI group.

• Porsche Center Meguro
• Porsche Center Aoyama Setagaya Certified Used Car Center
• Porsche Center Ginza Koishikawa Certified Used Car Center

Mechanics.

Introducing a number of works exhibited this time posted on this bonnet (Porsche scrap material?) In the store ↓

Looking at the actual work, for example, this is the "barbell" that was placed outside.

It's quite heavy, and my husband gave it to me, but the weight is probably about 50-60kg? How is it?

By the way, in the explanation of this work

"The counter shaft that only one can be taken from one mission is luxuriously used as a shaft, and it is well connected to the hub with PCCB."

However, I like this way of writing because it feels like a rare part like "Chateaubriand that can only be taken from one head" (laughs).

The other is this "school bag".

I never thought that this school bag was handmade from Porsche scrap wood until my sister who guided me told me that this is also one of the works.

So to speak, the material is Alcantara. When I asked, "Is this school bag stitch also hand-sewn by a mechanic?", He said, "Yes."

Whaaaaaaaat.

Porsche mechanic, can you even sew a school bag like this? ?? Does the mechanic of Porsche Center Setagaya who made this usually do the seat sewing of Porsche? ??

Both of the above two works were made by mechanics at Porsche Center Setagaya, and the production time is 30 hours for barbells and 40 hours for school bags. I'm enthusiastic (laughs).

There were 6 works in all.

• PC Ginza Koishikawa: Bolt Human
• PC Meguro: Clock
• PC Setagaya: School bag
• PC Setagaya: Umbrella stand
• PC Setagaya: Light
• PC Setagaya: Barbell

After seeing these two works this time, I concentrated on talking with Porsche people and missed the other works. I would like to go back someday and take a closer look ^^

Porsche Expert: Porsche Pro

Another big pleasure to go to Porsche NOW Tokyo this time was to meet people called Porsche Pro.

It is Porsche professionals who have the expertise of Porsche, not only to tell you various information about Porsche brands and Porsche cars, but also to convey the charm of Porsche.

I always had a lot of questions about Porsche, so I had a lot to ask.

However, I didn't have much time, and I was worried that if I listened too much, I would be banned (like "He came again!" (Laughs)), so for the time being, let me just ask a few questions that came to my mind. I had it.

But, when I was talking to these Porsche professionals, Alex was with me next to me.

In that case, yes, Alex, who is a professional in Porsche Pro, will almost answer (laugh). No, it was the most luxurious thing, and I was thankful for it. Thank you ^^

Anyway, it was a lot of fun to be able to visit various things. This is Porsche Pro ↓ (* Alex is in front of the right)

At the end, I came back asking "Please verify" that I was wondering, so I was able to expect that one day the question will clear up. It was.

I hope the day will come when my doubts will clear and I can write on this blog too ^^

Porsche VR experience

Porsche can project a design of his favorite Porsche in augmented realityAn application called Porsche AR VisualizerIs provided.

This time again, Porsche NOW Tokyo has made it possible to experience some of these new technologies.

One of them is here. You can experience the contents related to Porsche in VR.

It was said that there are Taycan's and Porsche 356's, so this time my husband had a Porsche 356 experience.

With the content of making my own Porsche 356 with VR, I did the work of molding and painting the car with VR.

Another one is here.

Here you can sit in a chair and experience the Nürburgring driving in Taycan projected on the screen in front of you (this can be seen normally, not VR), or wear goggles and experience VR. Is also possible.

At first I experienced Taycan running on the Nürburgring, but on the way, Alex said, "There will be no sound," and for the first time, "Oh, sure!"

That's right, it shouldn't be so quiet while driving on the Nürburgring. But with Taycan, it looks like this! !! When.

After that, I also had a VR experience ^ ^

Also, the drinks and food that were prepared on this day were wonderful, so I would like to introduce them ~ (* This is the story when I went before the open house).

Somehow, there is something like doing a chemical experiment in which two types are placed.

This is written as Butterfly Pea Lemon Squash. The blue one is herbal tea called butterfly pea, and the yellow one is honey lemon.

Oh yeah, you already know ~. That's right, mix these two before drinking.

Oh, oh. Thank you for pouring. Yellow to blue.

Then ... the drink that was blue turns into a beautiful purple color. The process of changing colors that gradually dyes is beautiful! And not only was it a chemical experiment, but the taste was also delicious ^^

Furthermore, it is a "restaurant that is only approved by the Porsche headquarters in Germany to include" Porsche "in its name" attached to the Porsche Center Ginza.The Momentum by PorscheFinger foods prepared by.

I'm sorry that the way of shooting is a little too rough (I'm too focused on the person who eats (laughs)?), But in reality, it seemed to be even more delicious, it was nice, and it was delicious ^ ^

Some of the items in the photo are sample exhibits, so they are left as they are, but all the items actually received were packed in a package as a measure against corona, and they were treated very beautifully and carefully.

Besides, Porsche goods are also sold. I think that there are things that are not usually handled at the Porsche center near you.

There was also an office chair using Porsche seats, so I would like to actually sit down before purchasing! Is it good for those who say ^ ^

I was wondering if I would buy this pink piggy bank or save money, but after all I was fascinated by talking to Porsche people and seeing Taycan, so I jumped up. When I got home, I completely forgot to buy it.

Well, it's been a really fun time.

The people of Porsche, such as the people of Porsche Japan who I met after a long time, the people of each Porsche center, the people I met for the first time, are all really wonderful people.

And Porsche NOW Tokyo is a place full of Porsche, where it is perfectly safe to talk about Porsche if you open your mouth, and there are many Taycans I wanted to meet in front of me.

Now that various things are restricted in Corona, I am really grateful to have had such a happy time in that gap time.

It was a day when I was glad to meet Porsche again.

There is no doubt that meeting Porsche has made everyday life more enjoyable and happier. At least I am.

Seize the moment

Porsche NOW Now (NOW) is:

"" NOW "stands for seizing the moment rather than looking into the past or future."

It means (Click here for details). If you feel Porsche now and think that it is time to ride Porsche, I think that it is "now" to act.

Even with Porsche alone, I have a lot of thoughts about what I want to do next time, so it was a day when I felt more strongly that I had to do what I could do "now".

Porsche NOW Tokyo Online Visit Reservation

Lastly, this is Porsche NOW Tokyo, but admission is currently restricted to avoid crowding due to corona infection prevention measures.

Therefore, it is necessary to make an online visit reservation before coming to the venue.

It seems that you can make a direct reservation, but if you do not know if you can make a reservation for the day, you may have to wait a long time even if you can make a reservation, so it is sure to make an online reservation in advance. I think it's good.

If you make an online reservation, you will get a souvenir, so ^^
