June 2018 issue of the American magazine "ROAD & TRACK". * The text in the magazine is copyrighted and is blurred.
The first test drive of Aston Martin's 2019 Aston Martin Vantage was the main feature. "This new Vantage doesn't just run through the lanes in a rough V8, it's just [this is Aston Martin's future]."
However, I omitted it, and what surprised me most this time was this McLaren Senna. I thought this was completely a "picture" such as CG. Then, this was a photo! Carefully up to the shooting equipment, aperture and ISO notation at the time of shooting.
NIKON D850, 24-70mm f / 2.8 Lens @ 38mm, ISO 100, 1/8 sec @ f / 11.0
Really, I couldn't believe it was a photo if I hadn't written it so far!
And, of course, this is also a photo. NIKON D850, 24-70mm f / 2.8 Lens @ 32mm, ISO 100, 1/4 sec @ f / 11.0. No, it was so beautiful that I couldn't believe it was a photo.
As with the cameraman's skill, I think that McLaren's modeling beauty is the biggest. It seems that there are various opinions about Senna, but for the time being, I thought that this McLaren Senna in front of me was beautiful.
Also featured was "RUF CTR 2017," which was made to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Yellowbird. Why is it now ...
The specifications of the notation are as follows. I think that there are many kilometer displays in Japanese articles, so I will post them in mileage display or pound display. Prices are in North America.

"People kept asking what it was based on. We kept trying to tell them -it's not based on anything! It's ours!"
In other words, to put it simply, "Everyone asks me what kind of car this car was based on, but that's why this car wasn't based on any car, it was made by ourselves. I keep saying "Bah!" Completely in-house designed from the chassis.
Evidence of that? It also came with an image of the frame made by RUF, which is the base, saying "I'm gonna make it from now on!" (Laughs).
When I thought about it, I completely forgot to upload the May 2018 issue of ROAD & TRACK. This is the cover ↓
There was an article about the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS.

In the May issue, I felt that there wasn't much else that was very interesting to me ~? ?? I'm sorry, I've already forgotten the content ... (laughs).
Nowadays, if you look on the internet, you can find a lot of information like breaking news, but for cars, I think it's good to turn the pages of magazines leisurely like this. Is it because you can see the photos properly? The cars are really cool just looking at them (no, but I'm not just looking at them, I want to ride them if I can!)!
Here ↑ is the waiting time at my Starbucks one day. I was waiting for my child's lessons to finish, but it was a blissful time to relax in Starbucks and have a car magazine ... (laughs). By the way, this magazine is a past magazine that has an explanation that "the latter model of 991 is like this" when the latter model of 991 came out.
I love cars, but I don't really understand the specs, the construction and structure of cars, and the difficult things, so I'm trying my best to understand them by learning from simple sentences little by little. The more you know, the more fun it is!
I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
