AFAIK, for all Porsches:
PTV=mechanical limited slip diff + selective braking of the faster rotating wheel, only coupled with manual gearbox
PTV+=electronically controlled LSD + selective braking, only coupled with PDK

Has anyone here fitted THULE bicycle rack to the Macan Roof Rails?
Or do I have to spec the Roof Transport System?

Marketing continues with press releases... it might be vaguely related to missing pricing on the configuration.

I must say I like the chestnut wood finish!

Confirmed... Porsche roof rails are fully compatible with Thule rack!

So are you buying Thule roof bars (to fit to your roof rails) and a Thule Bike Rack, or are you fitting a Thule Bike Rack to Porsche roof bars?

I already have a Thule rack for my bike, so I am glad that Macan is compatible with my kit [emoji38]

How do you mean 'compatible'? Which Thule bike kit and which Thule roof bars will you use with the Macan roof rails?

I only ask because my Thule roof box (quick mount system) was incompatible with the Macan roof bars because they are too deep - if you were using the Porsche roof bars then I presume the bike mount is very different, or perhaps they use the T-track.

Thule 591, but I might need new cross-bar-ends, or possible the cross-bars(?) I will have to check once I have the car.

If you do have to replace the cross-bars, you may find it cheaper to get Porsche ones second hand - often people get rid of their cars and sell the bars separately. eg: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-Maca ... SwSg5bDt5s
