Unveiling my car for the first time
I would like to keep some records about the Carrera T that was delivered this time, so first I would like to write about the delivery ceremony when the Carrera T was delivered.
Actually, this is probably my first experience of a so-called "delivery ceremony" that starts with the unveiling like this time.
I wasn't particular about the delivery ceremony at all, so there were many "please bring it to my house".
This time as well, "It's okay to be on the 1st floor from the beginning, not the room to deliver the car."I was telling you, but when I went to the Porsche Center on the day, the car was properly placed in the delivery room.
When this shutter leading to the delivery room is opened... my heart is pounding.
It came out!
Appearance.
Well, what can I say, umm, when the car is covered with this cloth that says "Waiting for Unveil", I get weirdly excited (laughs).
Inside is a GT silver Carrera T, which you should be able to imagine by looking at it many times in the configurator, but even so, it makes me feel excited, saying, "Oh, what kind of Porsche is underneath this?"
And most of all, even in this state where I can't see the car yet, I'm already thinking it's cool and I'm grinning (laughs).
Too much tension.
Manuals, vehicle inspection certificates, keys, etc. are also available.
Next to the car is a board decorated with preserved flowers that says "Forever Amazing".
And finally, Unveil.
What a thrill beyond imagination to see your own car unveiled.
Until now, I've been saying, "It's nice to have a car delivery ceremony," and I felt embarrassed about such a ritual, but this "Unveil" was just too awesome.
Even if all the dealers don't have to meet/see off with their staff or present a bouquet of flowers, I thought it would be good if only Unveil was adopted in front of me ^ ^
At this point, the crest has not been changed to silver yet, and the headlights have not been darkened (I will also write separately, but I put a protection film on the headlights). ↓
Unveiled, Carrera T I met for the first time.
At the time of the previous 911 cabrioletI went to see the car when it arrived at the dealer before delivery, but this time I patiently waited until this day, so this moment was the moment I really met the car for the first time. was.
Ha, that's cool.
Anyway, it's really cool. This back view, ahhh, cool.
I received even more gifts where I was completely floating.
A black box handed over with Ferry Porsche's famous words, 'I didn't have the car I wanted, so I made it myself' (rough translation).
When I opened it, it was a preserved flower box with a plate with the model name and chassis number written in the center.
It will be a good memory. Thank you
PORSCHE logo LED door courtesy lights
Let's start by opening the passenger side door.
... and that?
Oh yeah. This is it.
this! ↓
This time, I had an option called "PORSCHE logo LED door courtesy light".
The letters PORSCHE are printed more clearly and beautifully than I expected. Too much self-satisfaction.
At first, I didn't really plan to add this option, but when I was configuring it with the sales person, I quietly said, "Well, if you want to add this later, you can buy an aftermarket one from Suncoast or something." When I said that, the sales person said, "It used to be easy to retrofit, but now it's a little difficult to install unless you remove the door panel and install it."
Was it so? ?
actual,sun coastBut if you look closely, it says "For 2020 or newer 911 Carrera/Turbo/GT3 models, door panels must be removed to fit these lights. ” was written.
When I heard that, I thought, ``I don't think I'll bother to remove the door panel later to install it, so if you want it, you should install it from the beginning.'' So I added it as an option.
This option was 24,000 yen (currently 22,000 yen), so if you're worried about it, go for it! What?
However, it makes me happy every time I see it when I get on and off, so I'm glad I put it on. Complete self-satisfaction option (lol).
Then go to the driver's seat.
This door sill part is also cool!
Looking around the inside of the car while it is still protected in various ways, it has nothing to do with the car, but from the paper on the floor to the seat, the steering wheel, and the shift knob, everything is covered with paper and vinyl. There was a letter of PORSCHE in.
What kind of attention to detail.
I thought I'd run with this paper or vinyl on for a while longer ^ ^
Sitting in the driver's seat, the total combined distance at the time of delivery was 23.6 kilometers.
For me, this combination of numbers 2, 3, and 6 has a little meaning, so it was a moment when I felt like fate.
First of all, from the setting of PCM in the car.
The new PCM6.0 screens and contents are different from what I've known so far, so I feel like I have to learn a lot more.
Lift up the Carrera T, take a look at the underside of the Carrera T
After a series of explanations and settings were completed, the car was moved to the 1st floor.
Normally, when you bring your car to the first floor, you probably say, "Thank you very much, goodbye~", but in my case, the real thing starts here (what is it (laughs)?).
On the 1st floor of the Porsche Center Takanawa, we had the Carrera T lifted up at the place where the car is lifted up in order to confirm "where to do what" in advance at the time of inspection warehousing.
Carrera T going up more and more. pretty.
I'll let you peek from the bottom when it's finished.
Whoa, how beautiful.
If you suddenly show this picture to people, they won't think it's under the car, right? That's what I think.
Porsche 911 Carrera T (MY23) was not equipped with GPF
The number one reason for having the Carrera T lifted up this time is to confirm whether it has a GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter).
Before,It was difficult to peek from below when the lift was not lifted up.So (laughs).
Here is the Carrera T, 992.1 type seen from below. The model year is 2023.
Before"How to check if your Porsche has GPF], but from this shape you can see that GPF is not attached ↓
By the way, I tried searching with the model number written on the part, but the catalytic converter was for the 2020 model Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, and Carrera S.
There are surprisingly many cars without GPF for Porsche for Japan because the regulation is still different from Europe.
Well, since it has been lifted up, I will take a closer look at the underside of the new Carrera T, which can only be seen now.
There is also a letter of PORSCHE in such a place ~. If you run and get dirty, you won't notice. Anyway, it's great to be able to see it in a really beautiful state. ↓
It was interesting to see each one, such as the structure that allows air to flow toward the brakes.
And I didn't know that there is a "jacking point" when jacking up a car.
If you look closely, the 911 also has a "▼" mark that says "Here it is", and the jack-up point was displayed. I didn't know.
If you look inside the exhaust you can see the flaps open.
By the way, here is the view from the bottom of the side mirror ↓
It may not even matter, but when you look at the state where the door handle pops up from below (laughs) ↓
But hey, don't you usually dare to look into something like this? I took the opportunity to see it.
I was very satisfied after being able to see various things from the bottom.
I was happy to be able to show it while it was still shiny and beautiful at the beginning ^^
Carrera T seems to be thinking, "Well, isn't it enough? It's about time to get off..." What should I do if people think, "I've come to the troublesome owner again" (laughs).
After unloading the car, I opened the trunk and opened the upper part to check the battery.
And about that separately.
When you open the side of the trunk that can be opened with a snap, there is a honeycomb structure, a hexagon, on the back side of the removed panel.
And this honeycomb structure was also used in part of the under cover of the Carrera T.
A little hidden Lambo from the same Volkswagen group? What do you think (probably not).
Ha. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the Carrera T from corner to corner before running on the first day.
Oh, this expression already ↓
pretty. Too cute.
The 911 is cool, but it also shows a cute expression like this.
When I really see this kind of expression, I want to squeeze. I can't.
ReallyI want you to come out like a TransformerI think so.
Immediately after delivery at this time, the Carrera T has not yet changed the crest to silver, and the headlights are still normal. I will change this later.
The heat of the new car engine smelled like a new car
Oh yeah.
After moving the car to 1F, if you feel the rear engine part is hot, you've already done it. yes.
yes the firstheat scent confirmation..
Haaaaa. What is this, it smells like the heat of a new car! !
No, maybe it's because the engine hasn't run yet, but the smell of heat that has been rising considerably is different from usual, and it smells like a new car.
I felt the same when I delivered the 992 cabriolet, so I think this is not a mistake.
I don't know what you're talking about (laughs).
But anyway, I was impressed by myself, and my husband said, ``Hey, hey, even the smell of the heat of the engine smells like a new car! Because the parts are new?!''
By all means, if you have a new car delivered, please enjoy the first scent of heat that you can only enjoy at the beginning. It's the smell of heat coming up from the rear right after you turn off the engine. Welcome to the hentai world.
I finally left the Porsche Center two and a half hours after I first visited the Porsche Center Takanawa (laughs).
Thank you very much to all the sales people who have been very polite to the geek car delivery over this long time! ! It was the best delivery experience.
After leaving Porsche Center Takanawa, continue to Porsche Center Takanawa and Koishikawa.
There, I was asked to "replace the crest" and "install the black stone guard".
