Finally, on November 27, 2018 in the West Coast of the United States (LA) time, and today on November 28, 2018 in Japan time, the latest Porsche 911, 911 8th generation model 992 has been announced!

Information has already been uploaded to the Porsche Japan site

Details have already been posted on Porsche Japan's site, so I think that Porsche Japan's site here or various other car information sites will be posted more and more, so you can see various things on them. I think that is the case. ↓ Below, click the image to go to Porsche Japan's 992 site.

And here, first of all, I would like to list the main specifications listed in the catalog of the 992 Carrera S and Carrera 4S models for Porsche 911, which was announced as of today (November 28, 2018). increase.

Reaction of overseas Porsche owners to 992

A little excerpt of what kind of conversations overseas (especially those who seem to be mainly in Los Angeles) are having in response to this 992 announcement. It's just a part of the voice, so this is not public opinion, so for your reference, I hope you can see it as a pleasure to say, "Hmm, that's how it's said."

First of all, when the 992 was announced live (live streaming) from the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles, I didn't really touch the interior (around the console) by "showing it with the live camera", so "a little 992 interior. Wasn't he confident? "(Laughs).

No, I don't know if I'm confident in the interior, but from my point of view, there are many "unfamiliar" points (such as the shift lever and around the hazard position), so it still feels strange, but I'm also used to this. I wonder if it will come.

The cup holder looks much better than the current 991.2 one ^^ The current 991.2 cup holder is a little scary because the drink is about to fall, so I almost never use it ...

Is the 992's main target a Chinese customer?

And it was said by quite a lot of people that "the main target of this Porsche 992 is a Chinese customer". The reason why it was said was that it was 8 o'clock in the evening at this world premiere, LA, but in China it is just around 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and the country that will be announced at the best time zone = China is the main target. It seems to have been expected.

Furthermore, as if to support this assumption, the language option of the audio device (probably simultaneous interpretation with earphones etc.) distributed at the Porsche Experience Center LA, the venue of the world premiere of the day. Was "No. 1 is Chinese" and "No. 2 is Spanish".

It is true that there are many people who speak Spanish next to English in the United States, so why is the first channel Chinese? Furthermore, the woman who appeared in the video in this live broadcast is also Asian.

Well, anyway, it seems that quite a lot of people read that "Porsche this time is mainly targeting China." Everyone thinks about it.

By the way, there are many other opinions such as "992 looks better in dark colors than in bright colors!"

For me, this rear "911" logo is too worrisome ... ↓. This font in the latest Porsche also feels strange to me. Hmmm. But I'm sure you'll get used to this too.

Porsche called the 996 a "fried egg"!

and! This time, when I was watching the live broadcast, the successive Porsche 911s appeared before the 992 was announced.

When successive 911s appeared, and in the middle of the process, the "996 type Porsche 911" appeared ... The narration called this 996 "fried egg headlights" (laughs)! !! !!

When I heard it and called it a fried egg, I was surprised that "Huh ?! Porsche officially calls it that way (laughs) ??" With today's announcement, this may have been the most shocking to me (laughs).

Of course, this was a little talked about on overseas sites, and it was like "Porsche said fried egg w". That's right. I was very surprised. But, after all996 eyes are fried eggs in the United States!!

At the moment of the announcement of 992, I ...

Today's 992 world premiere, where did I see this live broadcast from Los Angeles ... It's already the announcement of Porsche 911, right? ??

If you see such an important announcement. Only here! !!

Shazam. Yes! Inside "Porsche 911"!

Live streaming in the passenger seat while having someone who likes 911 like me (no, much more detailed than me) drive my Porsche 911 (991.2) (laughs).

I used the function of connecting a smartphone to Porsche with Bluetooth and talking on the phone hands-free, but I have never seen videos on a smartphone or tablet in the car, so when I connect with Bluetooth, that is what It was not until I was told at this time that I learned that the sound of smartphone videos and the like is output from Porsche speakers. A little touching.

So, the audio of the Porsche 992's world premiere livestreaming could be enjoyed throughout the car from the Porsche 911 speakers! very.

As I continued to write, it seemed that I was really prepared to "watch the live broadcast from Porsche!", And it feels like a pretty maniac, but this is actually more calm. Can you see it in the place? I was thinking, but I just saw it in the car because I had run out of time and the relay time was reached in the car (laughs). But the result was good ^^

Tomorrow (LA local time from 10:25 am on November 28, 2018) there will also be an announcement (press conference) at the LA Auto Show. I think that various information, photos, and videos will come out more and more in the future. I would like to enjoy seeing these various things every day.

Today, as of November 28, 2018, my Porsche 991 (late 991 model) is no longer the "latest Porsche 911". This is a bit lonely, but Porsche always says "The latest Porsche is the best PorscheI am very happy to announce the 992 type because it will evolve with the aim of ""!

My Porsche 991.2 has also become the "previous generation" and I feel like I'm one year old. n/a.
