If looking for a pre-owned Macan, I would be very tempted by the yellow one too, after someone else had taken the hit on the PTS colour! ;)

Silverstone do seem to put together some bold specs for some of their demos/showroom cars.

Hi Luke,in terms of a relaxed ride I am getting the impression that this seems to point to the Turbo.. I donโ€™t particularly drive quickly these days so performance is not a huge issue.. I liked the way the SD drove in regards to the torque, so look to find as near as possible a petrol alternative... would like to hear your thoughts... however Iโ€™m going to drive them both next week.

If you like the torque, you might need the PP! ;)

Macan SD max torque = 580nm.
Petrol S = 460.
GTS = 500.
Turbo = 550.
Turbo PP= 600.

Look on the bright side a Turbo will be out there, a Turbo PP will be like hens teeth

The standard Turbo engine is amazing, effortless acceleration way into license loosing speeds.

GTS v Turbo ?

I know which I would choose.

I know some of you like yellow (Simon!) but please be prepared to take a fair hit on the used market, way more than the PTS figure as they don't appear to attract buyers. Bolton OPC has had 2 yellow 911 targas for a while now. white, carmine red, miami blue all sell well on the used market.
Current:
992 Turbo (July 23)
MG4 EV Trophy Long Range
VW Caravelle 6.1 4motion DSG
Suzuki Swift Sport

Good point, Arif. ;)

Plus, maybe Targas and Convertibles are slower to sell in the autumn/winter months anyway.
