GTS has to be a non-corporate so not: Midnight blue, greys, B&W, silvers. That leaves Sapphire - "Classy not flashy" is a perfect description (Tracky). Oh and there is the green or Mahogany brown,,,

You then have the solid "specials" at a £1.65k premium and if you go there I think it needs to be Carmine red for a GTS - why is this not a pearescent like Audi, then I would consider it.

All Porsches should be yellow! :lol: ;) :P
Though you did admit that if you were wearing your sensible hat you would have a Carmine Red GTS ;)

I like my bright colours (Carmine Red Panamera and Racing Yellow 911) but I reckon that the majority of Macan GTSs are ‘corporate’ to use your term, or dark blue/monochrome. 🤓

Absolutely, Peter! Wearing my sensible hat, it would indeed be a Carmine Red Macan GTS, not too heavily optioned. :) ...or, depending on future developments of infrastructure etc, a Taycan, possibly in white! :o

I just cannot believe how gorgeous the Macan looks in Carmine red, especially in the bright sunshine we have had this week.
All the neighbours are drooling over the colour.

Had my Sapphire Gen 2 Turbo for 11 months now, it has drawn more complimentary comments than any car I've ever owned. I found a lady taking pictures of it in our local Waitrose car park and few months later another Sapphire has appeared. It suits the car and never looks dull like the monotonous greys and blacks and I can certainly recommend it.

My daughter is trying to convince me that white is the colour!! A small life lesson for her, colour represents personality to a certain extent I believe, so for me it will be C/Red although I really hope they will be having Voodoo as an option before I buy next year. Until then I'll let her believe that it will be boring "dad" white. ;)

Welcome to the S Blue club ( in advance).
My gen 1 was grey as I did not want the Macan to stand out, but the gen 2 looks great after 18 months. I do get admiring looks ( or is it something else)
But end of the day, go for what looks good to your eyes.
Arrived July 2023 - S, Silver.
