That’s actually one of my gripes-buy a Turbo but nobody knows! If you de-badge it it could be anything, not that it actually matters. I did have a decision to make when I wanted to change the badging from silver to black on my car. The dealer said just do the “PORSCHE” bit in black and don’t do the “Macan Turbo” script. I didn’t mind either way but ended up thinking a future buyer would probably want their car differentiated from another model somehow (withe the sports exhaust a Turbo looks identical to an S with one). I really didn’t care though but went with in black. I’d probably have preferred the clean look without the extra decal though if it was just me.

I'm obviously just perverse, I deleted the model and paid extra to downgrade the wheels (made cleaning a doddle too) so as it wasn't recognisable as an S. Yes, the tailpipes are a giveaway but TBH it's only the (lovable) anoraks on this forum that might appreciate these details.

My Mrs was an exhaust / brake calipers snob
On her TT she knew hers was better than others because of the exhaust - she had the V6
Similar with Boxster plus also knew that hers was better than others because it had the red calipers
Just want to point she isn’t a snob either and uses the Dogs car much of the time

As an anorak, I use the presence of intercoolers and brake calliper colour to differentiate base from S! The base has blanked off intercooler inlets, which look a bit naff.Neil1911 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 11:51 am I'm obviously just perverse, I deleted the model and paid extra to downgrade the wheels (made cleaning a doddle too) so as it wasn't recognisable as an S.

I do not remember the option to specify round tailpipes being available when I ordered my Turbo.
It just came with the square tailpipes.
If it had been available I would have specified them, I already selected the de-badge option I would also have selected de-badge the Porsche logo if I could.
I am no brand junkie in fact the opposite I would rather have no badges at all.

I wish mine was that interested/aware, she doesn't go further than "Porsche", although it's been a while since she complained about the other turbo in the household, the "boiled egg" or Fiat Twinair
