Of course, I also registered here and was looking forward to the day when I could meet the actual Taycan car.
At the event called Scopes Tokyo, various events will be held for several days from the opening on November 22, 2019, so pre-register through LINE for the event you want to go to and get a ticket (free) If so, it was supposed to be possible to enter.
However, since the Taycan itself is permanently installed at this Scopes venue @ Omotesando, it seems that you can see the Taycan at any time for free and without an admission ticket, except during the time when the event is being held. ..
Doors open between 12:00 and 20:00 (excluding the event holding time ← If you have a ticket, of course, you can enter even during the event).
For the time being, I had applied for the opening party from the first evening of November 22nd, which is the first day, and the event from 18:00 on the 23rd, but it was suddenly cold and heavy rain in Tokyo on the 22nd. I really wanted to go to see Taycan from noon, but I couldn't go because I was afraid.
And I couldn't go to the evening event as it was, so I canceled it (I'm sorry. * I canceled it in advance ~).
To meet Taycan, go to SOCAL LINK GALLERY @ Omotesando
The next day, on November 23rd, I have to meet Taycan! Thinking about it, finally! I went.
The place is "SOCAL LINK GALLERY" in Omotesando (4-9-8 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001). It's near the Flying Tiger ^^
When I went, Porsche 911 was parked in front of this venue, so it was easy to understand even from a distance, "Oh, Porsche is parked, isn't it over there?" rice field.
When you enter the venue, first of all, an explanation will be given before entering the venue.
"When you enter the venue, there is a Taycan in front of you and the laser is on. Please do not look directly at the laser. Do not lean against the wall because it is dangerous."
After that, "And if you go further, it will be an event venue."
I see, i see. There is a Taycan in the foreground. fun!
Before entering, show the ticket on the pre-registered line and exchange it for this neck holder.
Taycan and laser show
It seems that the laser show is held every few minutes, so wait outside until it's over. Enter once the laser show is over.
As soon as you enter, the next laser show will begin again.
Wow! !! !! The Taycan is already close enough to touch the Taycan. But the laser show started, and Taycan feels far away. Are you there, Taycan? ?? ??
There! !! The red-colored Taycan, which seems to be carmine red, is fantastically emerging in the bright red laser.
The inside of the venue is a laser anyway. Certainly this may be dangerous if you look straight at it ^ ^
There is a laser at my feet, so I'm an aunt, and I'm wondering, "Wow, can I walk here?"
No, I'm sorry. that. The laser production is cool. wonderful.
but. sorry. Is it okay to say one honestly here?
Um ... I ... to be honest ... what I really want to do is "I want to see Taycan". Yes, I want to see Taycan. I came here with that much thought.
I want to meet Taycan slowly and carefully ... but. In the red light, I can't see Taycan well (tears).
Encounter with Porsche Taycan
When! !! !! "I want to see Taycan better", the moment I wished, the laser ended. Once I was able to calm down and see the Taycan.
Hmm! I wanted to meet you, Taycan!
It's a lie to be in front of you. Is Taycan really in front of you? ?? ?? It made me feel strange. I was imagining the "white Taycan" that I had been seeing in the press for a long time, so the red Taycan in front of me was unrealistic.
But there was a presence. The Taycan that I have seen through the media many times is in front of me. I'm impressed.
I already wanted to stare at the eyes (headlights) different from this Porsche 911, so I had the Taycan all to myself in front of me and stared at me from the front.
However, the inner corners of my eyes were more beautiful than I expected, and when I faced each other in front of me, I had really gentle eyes. Cool but gentle.
It was said that the laser show would start in a few minutes (was it?), So I desperately enjoy meeting Taycan in the next few minutes.
First from the front part.
This Taycan is a European specification car (I do not know what is different). For the time being, the part where the license plate is attached does not have such a horizontally long shape in Japan, so I wonder if that will change. how did it become I wonder?
A view of the front part from the side.
This is a little naname, but the side.
The black part just behind this front tire on the side. If you look closely, it looks like an air intake, so I took a closer look ...
Isn't it open? pattern?
Door handle.
This part near the rear tire (yellow circle) is ... ↓
If you take a closer look, there are gaps like this, and you might think, "This is a leaf or something like that." (smile)?
Let's go around the rear and take a look.
The letters of PORSCHE are exactly as I have seen through the media.
And what is worrisome is the exhaust. Ah ~. It may be obvious, but there really isn't a so-called "muffler"! !! Slippery.
wheel.
… And while I was in a hurry, it took a couple of minutes to go to the laser show again. Next, I have to wait a few minutes to see Taycan again ...
Finally, here is the interior that looked through the glass (because you can not ride the Taycan at this exhibition). It's hard to see because the venue was a little dark and I could only take a quick shot just before the laser started (laughs).
When I thought about it, my husband who went with me took more pictures ^^
At the back of the venue, an event called Scopes Tokyo was held.
I was looking forward to Porsche's first fully electric vehicle, Taycan. I was looking forward to the day when I could meet in front of my eyes. I was happy to finally meet you. It was nice.
A New Era
I think Scopes Tokyo is a new world view that focuses on the younger generation. I think it's probably a good way to attract a new Porsche customer base.
But I'm sorry. I'm sure I was too aunt ^^ I personally thought that I would have been happy if I could take a closer look at Taycan.
I'm sure that after a while, "Taycan is the main" instead of "event is the main", and I think that the day will come when I can meet Taycan firmly even under natural light or bright light, so I would like to look forward to that time. increase. Anyway, Taycan was lovely.
With this Taycan ... It's only a few seconds, but the moment I stare at it, I can't forget it.
"A New Era has come." Including the contents of this event, I realized that we are really entering a "new era" for the new generation of young people and for the future electric vehicle generation. It's been a day.
Anyway, I was happy to meet Porsche Taycan ^ ^
