I’ll let you know once I’ve got it, but should be exactly the same hopefully

Re: Macan S Stock vs Sport Exhaust

Some of the comments here about PSE are slightly snide. It doesn’t make you a teenager if you like a louder exhaust on a sporty SUV, it’s also not uncommon to have such an exhaust on a suv - there are plenty of sporty SUVs and there is clearly a market for them. I’m a dad with two young kids and I n...

Re: Macan S Stock vs Sport Exhaust

I think the PSE is an awesome feature. I’ve had macans with and without it. I would not buy a macan without the sports exhaust not. On the latest model GTS it sounds great and I remember driving a S without the sports exhaust and it honestly felt a lot more muted to me personally. Would I spec it fo...

Re: 2024 Build Slots

Tell that to the OPCs who are experiencing an upsurge in orders. I think what is really driving the demand is moving from ICE to EV power which makes it very different to just retiring a model. +1 The infra isn’t there for EVs and people know this EV can be a convenient 2nd car for some but most ow...

Re: 2024 Build Slots

I have a pal in Porsche GB marketing and he tells me that the forecast from Porsche is very different. They know when a model is made obsolete, global demand falls off a cliff and it’s partly why the announcement for Macan end of production is delayed. There will always be enthusiasts who want a la...

Re: Hi chaps new to the forum.

Imo contrast is always best (ie light/bright paint with dark wheels, dark paint with lighter wheels)

Best combos for me:

White/silver/chalk/red paint : black wheels
Black paint: silver of platinum grey type wheels
Grey paint (volcano/agate): work with black wheels but also silver/chrome

Re: First Macan on its way

Hello to fellow Porsche-a-holics! After 38 years of Porsche ownership my wife and I have now calmed down and although we still feel the `need for speed` we are also getting that little bit older. Not more sensible, just older. Back in May 2023 we ordered a Macan GTS from our local OPC and it is due...

Re: 2018 Macan GTS or 2020 GTS

I agree with Col about the pse. The other issue for me with Gen 3 is 21 wheels amd impact on ride. I would love to drive on British roads a GTS on 21 wheels in Sport suspension setting back to back against an S with air, Sc and 20 wheels and in sport plus suspension setting. I wonder how much diffe...

Re: 2018 Macan GTS or 2020 GTS

There is one thing about a GTS that I would be a bit miffed about. The PSE, that is a £1500 inclusion in the standard specification that would be very little, if at all used by myself. PSE drones very badly irrespective of model at a constant speed that I find intrusive and eventually irritating, w...
