Spec 2 - 21” with air suspension. This one looks good to me as well <a class="vglnk" href="http://www.porsche-code.com/PMCTB4E8" rel="nofollow"><span>http</span><span>://</span><span>www</span><span>.</span><span>porsche</span><span>-</span><span>code</span><span>.</span><span>com</span><span>/</span><span>PMCTB4E8</span></a>

But just while we’re on the subject of crayon - what do people make of the £2700 upgraded leather/crayon interior? Is it actually value for money or just a waste? I’d certainly want to have it with the crayon paint - but then the configurator makes you feel like a kid in a sweet shop with a lot of things that you know you shouldn’t but feel you have to indulge in.

I do love the miami blue/carmine red as well but I don’t think I’m a colourful enough person to carry either of those off

Agree with OP comments, don’t think the Miami suits the Macan. I Have the leather&race-tex interior with Crayon stitch, also headlining in race-tex, VFM? Probably the wrong question, does it feel special? Yes, very much.

I’m not sure if it is the same thing but my mate bought a nee turbo in crayon and had an expensive option of stitched and contrasting leather inside but I thought it was pebble not crayon. I suspect crayon isn’t that different to pebble - I’ve got crayon stitching in the 992 and Mrs had pebble seat centres in her previous 981.

I agree on Miami - personally I think it only suits the sports cars and the GT ones at that

Value for money is a difficult question to answer when it comes to Porsche options. Does it make the GTS interior look better, yes definitely. Of course you then have to decide whether you want leather or Race Tex seat centres. Decisions, Decisions

Personally, I don't think Miami Blue suits the Macan at all, it's very much a sports car colour (IMHO). It looks fantastic on a Cayman. On the other hand, Sapphire Blue looks great but of course not as good as Carmine Red (still the original and best GTS colour)

Cheers for the inputs as always

I reckon just the “feel” of this would add some value on resale - maybe need to look into that. But to complete the look, I’d perhaps go for the carbon pack with carbon wheel instead of the race-tex headliner. And with my volcanic grey and 21” SCs I love the look of the above package in Carmine Red - just a really nice contrast on the interior.

Definitely wouldn’t order in blue or red - narrowed it down to either the jet black, volcanic grey or the crayon.

Looks the business mate.

Would of happily gone for that if I hadn’t come from a grey A45 with the night pack.

Also a GEN1 GTS in all black with black spyders drives around near me. I probably see it about twice a week and it looks great. Very stealthy.

Black will always be dirty!!

Black an absolute bitch to keep looking good unless you aren't OCD about swirl and scratches. Had one metallic black car never again.

Macan perfection!!

Thanks Simon

Happy New Year

Welcome Tony - and congrats on a stunning spec

Guessing you just preferred the look of the 21” silver spyders to the standard 20” black ones? The pictures do seem to indicate that the latter choice has a smaller profile on the road.

I’ll find out tomorrow for myself - my centre has a couple with the different rim sizes that they said I can come and look at
