Looking back at Porsche in 2024

Porsche looks back on 2024

At the end of every year, Porsche looks back on the year, and this year they have done the same for 2024, so I would like to take a look.

I've been looking back on each year on this blog since 2019, but for some reason I don't seem to have written a review of last year, 2023...maybe I was too drunk over the New Year holidays last year (lol)?

There is no 2023 edition for now, but here is a look back at the past:

2024 was another very enjoyable year, where I was completely immersed in Porsche.

I would like to thank everyone who enjoyed Porsche with me, everyone who came to see my blog, everyone who commented or contacted me on my blog, SNS, email, etc., and everyone at Porsche Japan and Porsche dealers. Thank you very much.

We look forward to your continued support in 2025. Have a great new year everyone!
