New Member! From a RR Sport to a Macan Turbo!

The round tailpipes indicate that it has PSE, standard Turbo tailpipes are square.

Nope, you could spec round tailpipes without PSE.

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.

Just to be clear, I’m not a badge snob! Many Macans, S’s, GTS’s. Turbos etc we’re out of my range. They’re all wonderful!

Badge Snob !

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.

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

She ‘got air’ on the Milbrook Hill when we went to the launch of the B8 RS4 and at Jaguar event she got the top time at slalom event they held for our group

Also got a speeding ticket in the Macan a couple of weeks back…
