The tune by Endless and the rotary engine is a good one

And she also got a good feel for Endless’ suspension upgrade.

“It goes hand in hand with the ride quality, but it doesn’t have the fluffy feeling of an old car, it’s firm and I feel the benefits of the new suspension. The thing that surprised me the most was the brakes. When I step on them, they feel firm or rigid and very secure. I can’t believe it’s really an old car if I only evaluate the brakes. I was rather surprised that it stopped so well, given my previous experience of test-driving old cars.”

In the latter half of the test drive, she gradually got used to the Luce. Rami was enjoying the drive with the rotary engine that she had longed for.

“The sound is still different from other old cars. The unique rotary sound is wonderful. The feeling of power when you turn the engine is very enjoyable! It’s like it comes into its own from over 3000rpm.”

Rami Sasaki is planning more test drives of old cars in the future. What old car will she drive next time? Look forward to it.
