Tokyo Auto Salon 2020: GR Yaris, Corvette C8 Stingray, and Porsche

Two cars I wanted to see at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2020 + Porsche

I went to this year as well, "" held at Makuhari Messe from January 10th to 12th, 2020.Tokyo Auto Salon 2020』.

picture? Has it been more than 10 days since the Tokyo Auto Salon was over? That's right, I just had too many other things to write and my blog couldn't keep up.

I would like to write it before I forget it as it is ^ ^

The parking lot at Makuhari Messe was still amazing.

There were a lot of cars that looked like exhibition cars, and the cars that were running around and passing each other were customized, saying "Wow, that's amazing!" And "Look at that car!" Lot.

Immediately, I will try to enter. Hmm, a great person.

Of course I took a quick look at the entire Tokyo Auto Salon, but this time I had two cars that I had pinpointed to see at this event, so this time I chose those two cars anyway. I went around with a plan (?) To concentrate, and of course to see Porsche.

Of the two cars that are the purpose of this time, one is in this booth.

That booth is ... that is "TOYOTA GAZOO Racing".

It is no exaggeration to say that I went to the Tokyo Auto Salon for this purpose.

Toyota GR Yaris

There is a car I want to see at the Toyota Gazoo Racing booth at the Tokyo Auto Salon ... Speaking of which, at this timing, this is the only car.

That is right. Actually, this time, I was most interested in this "GR Yaris".

The reservation order started from the date of this Tokyo Auto Salon, but before that, from the time of the announcement (or leak information), I was talking with my husband, "Would you like to buy this car if it comes out?" It was a car.

I was so enthusiastic about buying it that I called a Toyota dealer in advance and checked various things such as "Can I buy it at this store?"

The picture from here is the concept model of GR Yaris's automatic, but when I talked with Toyota on the day, it was said that the appearance (design) of this car is the same as GR Yaris. , Check the design with this concept that I could see slowly without being crowded ↓

Originally, when I was in my first year as a member of society, I was thinking that I would like to buy a VITZ with my first salary, and my husband was also doing a VITZ race when he was young, so I feel a sense of familiarity. There is.

In the place where there is such a feeling of familiarity, GR Yaris who thinks "This is a little fun?" Appeared in terms of performance, and although it is a right steering wheel, it is a manual.

No, I will buy this! So, I was about to go to the point just before I made an advance reservation online.

Well, but in the end, when I asked myself, "Which one would you ride, GR Yaris or Porsche 911 in front of you?" If there is oneself who answers immediately, then even if GR Yaris comes to my house, it will result in not being able to ride much. After all, hesitate.

I wanted it so much, but I could imagine running happily with a GR Yaris MT car, but after all, jumping over that delusion and thinking that there is 911 in front of me, it is quite difficult so far. I don't think I can beat my feeling of "getting on a Porsche".

While I was still worried about GR Yaris, I went to see another car that I wanted to see and consider purchasing at this Tokyo Auto Salon 2020.

The second car that I was interested in was exhibited at the "North Hall" of Makuhari Messe.

I feel like I wrote it last year, but the guide to Makuhari Messe North Hall says "HALL 9-11", so every time I see this, one person says "911". I grin in front.

Really, how can I escape from Porsche 911 anymore? I'm brainwashed so much ... ^^ (← I'm brainwashing myself)

Arrived at the North Hall. This is also a great person.

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C8)

Alongside the GR Yaris, this is the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, which I wanted to seriously consider purchasing another car and wanted to see at this Auto Salon.

Eh, is it completely different from GR Yaris (laughs)?

No, when I want a car, I think only with my sensibilities. Anyway, when I think "Oh, this car", that car is the "car I want".

I wonder if this is different from men.

Even if the car has completely different specifications, performance, and price range, you will want the car you want.

Actually, I'm not so particular about the engine, and when I try to ride it and think "Wow, it's the best", it's the best, and when I try to ride it, I think "something is different". , It's something different, I feel like I'm judging only by my sensibilities.

Should I use the VITZ or the BMW 318is for the two cars when I was worried about buying a car for the first time? So, from the old days, it seems that "the car you just wanted is the car you want, regardless of the reason or the difficulty" ^^

Well, Stingray. It was cool.

But, for me, I feel that Stingy seen in the photo was cooler than the actual car.

Is it related to the color of the car on display on that day?

Don't get me wrong, Corvette Stingray was lovely. cool.

But for me, I thought, "It was better to see it in the picture than in the actual car."

And even more, this Corvette Stingray doesn't have a manual setting in the first place.

I wanted an MT car (preferably a left-hand drive) if I bought it next time, so the fact that I didn't have an MT car was a tough choice for me.

By the way, this is the C8 Corvette Stingray. This is what you do when you take the roof and open it.

It seems like this before, but this is the first time I've seen it.

First of all, the rear trunk part? Open ↓

The roof that was removed is put in there.

With this feeling, hold it normally with your hand and go to the trunk ↓

Then, it seems that the roof part fits in the rear trunk in this way. He ~ ↓

In the end, on this day, I decided to "think a little more calmly" without making an impulse purchase for Corvette Stingray.

Porsche who were at Tokyo Auto Salon 2020

Finally, another car ... or rather, the car I wanted to see is "Porsche". Of course, this is more of an interest than "what kind of Porsche is there" rather than considering purchasing ^ ^

This time, except for GR Yaris and Corvette Stingray, I went around quite a bit, so there are other Porsche that I have missed, but this time I encountered these four Porsche.

4 LAWS carbon body air-cooled Porsche 911

Of the Porsche exhibited at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2020 this time, the car that was featured in the media at a later date is here4LAWSI think it was a full carbon specification Porsche 911 by Mr.

* Especially since I often visit overseas sites, I feel that this Porsche was the most picked up overseas.

And I'm sorry, only the picture of this car isHereWe have received it from the site of.

The Porsche 911 on display seems to be based on the Porsche 911 SC and 993.

If the body is made entirely of carbon in this way, will the weight of the vehicle be considerably lighter? ?? I don't know because there was (probably) no mention of weight.

The price of the finished product is said to be 20 to 25 million yen.

However, with such amazing specifications, considering the cost of the base vehicle, isn't it really expensive?

Of course the amount is high, but considering Porsche + customization costs, it means.

TechArt Porsche 992 by Bond Group

Every time after that, it ’s an eye candy.Bond GroupThe latest 992 type, which is the Porsche 911 of TechArt exhibited.

Since the front lip part and the side parts are also finely attached, the overall feeling is "I don't know what's different, but it's cool!" ^^

Tech Art instead of the Porsche crest on the front.

The area around the rear muffler was also painted black, and the rear bumper was also fitted with a slightly different shape and painted in the body color, giving a different impression.

Of course, the wing is the obvious difference at first glance.

It's a type that is divided once in the center, and you can see the third brake light from the gap in the center. Although it is made, the third brake light is turned off, and it seems that another light is added above the red light of the rear one line by that amount? It seems that it is.

The wheels have also changed.

It's a little hard to see in the picture, but the brake caliper is also black with the Tech Art logo.

Y-squared Porsche Macan 2019

The last two Porsche I encountered are hereY-SquaredPorsche Macan and Cayman (718).

The impression of Macan also changes depending on the front parts. This time, these aero parts etc.QUADSTARIt seems that the one made of was used.

The muffler is also QUAD STAR's QUAD STAR Tail Finisher, and the rear aero underskirt has also been customized.

Y-squared Porsche 718 Cayman

And here is the Porsche 718 Cayman. Somehow it looks bad ^^

The front and sides have changed, and the inside of the headlights is also yellow? ??

The rear spoiler, diffuser, muffler, etc. are also customized, giving a completely different impression.

This Porsche Cayman was finished in a cool feeling with a very bad feeling.

But for some reason, a cute mysterious creature called "Who are you?" Is enshrined in the car, and although it seems to be a bad Cayman, it was kind of cute ^ ^

It seems that there were other Porsche exhibitors, but that was all I could see this time.

In addition to Porsche, while I am entertained by seeing various cars, I am still interested in various displays that are getting newer and newer every year.

Is this also a transparent screen? The image is projected on ... ↓

Is this big tire also the so-called rubber part of the tire? However, it turned into a video or something and turned around like running.

Various new displays and presentations have changed due to technological advances, so I enjoyed the atmosphere of the venue that evolves every year ^ ^

For the time being, I am very happy to be able to visit the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2020.

In addition, I was able to see the GR Yaris and Corvette Stingray, which I was considering purchasing.

In conclusion, GR Yaris is still a little worried, but after seeing these two actual cars this time, I thought about various things and made a new car that I wanted to see, so this time also I would like to go see it.

While saying that, I actually went to see it, so I will talk about it again soon ^^
