The lead feature of the May issue is “BLAZING BATTLE.” We compare the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, the first 911 hybrid that has finally arrived in Japan, from various angles. Keep an eye out for the differences with the 911 Carrera Cabriolet and the outcome of the real-life sports showdown with its rival, the Aston Martin Vantage.
