I Love British Car
The January issue of GENROQ features a comprehensive report on the latest hot British cars. It includes an overseas test drive report of the Aston Martin Vanquish, which is equipped with the long-awaited V12 engine, as well as a domestic test drive report of the British sports car giant, the Aston Martin Vantage. Also worth noting is the rivalry between the McLaren Artura and the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The second feature is “SPORT PORSCHE.” We will take a deep look at the new 911 GT3 and the new 911 Carrera T, as well as a valuable comparative impression of the 911 GT3 RS (Type 992) vs. the 911 Carrera RS (Type 993), both of which inherit the “Ren-Sport” spirit.
In addition, we will be providing a thorough introduction to the latest luxury and sports cars, including the Bugatti Tourbillon, which costs over 620 million yen, the first BEV model in the G-Class, the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, and test drive reports on the BMW M5 Touring, Maserati GranCabrio, and Porsche Panamera.

Approaching the essence of “RS”
![[SPORT PORSCHE] The RS designation is important to Porsche. Its origins lie in the racetrack, and its lightness and directness, in other words, its very essence, are quite stoic, which is why its driving captivates those who drive it. The still-popular Type 993 and the latest 992. Has the essence of the RS changed in the 30 years since then?](https://motor-fan.jp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/3_GENROQ_2025.01_Porsche-1024x647.jpg)

Eternal rivals: CLE53 Coupe vs M4 Competition Coupe
![[THE BATTLE] The CLE was born from the integration of the C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe. Its AMG version, the CLE 53, is rumored to be so sporty that it overturns the conventional image of the "Go-San." So let's compare it to that car. The comparison we're making is the BMW M4 Coupe, synonymous with sports coupes.](https://motor-fan.jp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/5_GENROQ_2025.01_CLE-vs-M4-1024x647.jpg)
