Porsche 992 Cabriolet Press Release Summary

On January 9, 2019, the latest Porsche 911 (992 type) cabriolet model was announced. This timeThis article (English) which is a Porsche press releaseSo, I tried to summarize the details in bullet points.

Nowadays, even if you just translate overseas articles to Google, Google Translate is really wonderful at this time, and you can understand the contents quite roughly, but even if you look at the contents slowly, it does not come into my head, so to me Since the bullet points are easier to understand, the bullet points are ^^

* If you are interested, please read the Porsche article itself.Google translateI think it's better to put it on. Just enter the URL of the page you want to translate and it will translate everything. Google is really amazing ...

As an aside, I often see it on Yodobashi Camera these days.Pocket talkAn automatic translator. I tried this the other day, but when I muttered something like "Buy Porsche or McLaren, that's the problem", I was surprised that it was translated properly. ← The Japanese to be translated is strange in the first place ^^ I am quite suspicious even with Yodobashi Camera (laugh).

Oh, that's the story.

So, first of all, I would like to list the specifications, contents, etc. of the latest Porsche 911, which was a press release overseas, about the 992 type cabriolet. For your reference. * The photo is from the Porsche Press Room.

…It was that kind of feeling!

After all the main target of the latest 911 is China?

What surprised me when I saw this press release was that the "Chinese version" of this spec table was normally posted at the overseas Porsche press material distribution.

Is it posted by mistake? I feel like ... This is completely for the Chinese market.

This latest 911 (992)View that the main target is ChinaI thought it might not be a mistake (it's just my prediction ^^).

a. By the way, on the Porsche Japan site, 992 cabriolets were posted, but no further information is available at this time (2019/1/9).

In addition, it was said that the price of the latest 911 was announced on January 7, 2019, but it seems that it has not been announced or posted on the official website yet. When will the official announcement be made on the official website? ??
