In the GTS you get a bespoke black aluminium finish as standard - do yourself a favour and save nearly £700 - otherwise, perfect 👍
The salesman said the default brushed black aluminium tends to pick up scratches really easily and the carbon is way more durable, could be bs but metal finishes do tend to get marked.

I guess actual real experience from anyone who has it would be helpful.
Never heard that on here. I suspect you are being played for another option tbh 😳

I considered the bb aluminium, but on seeing it on a Macan, I decided it was unappealing. Very happy with the gloss black trim and it has suffered no marks in 3 years use.

When I buy another Macan (which I definitely will) I will look for a gen2 GTS. I really do think it’s the best of all worlds in terms of looks, interior and engine. 😍

My standard GTS aluminium trim hasnt scratched in the 8 months I've had it so far.

I suspect anything able to scratch aluminium will also scratch the finish on the carbon.

That said. Carbon is cool.
