Went for a test drive in a brand new GTS (18 miles on clock). Extremely impressed and now Β£3000 worse off. June build for 10 July delivery. Spec in updated signature.

On-Track, good to see another 2020 GTS on the hustings. No smokers pack optioned then to cover the hole?

Wondering if anyone has taken delivery of their new GTS yet? First impressions?

Looks good another high spec no holds barred set of extras there :) June delivery is good, I heard our dealer wont see any more until Sept/Oct.

What impressed you most on the drive?
How does the sports exhaust sound now the gas filter fitted,

Mine got unloaded today at the dealers, I have never driven a GTS, test drove an S and base.

GT wheel, smokers pack and maybe spare wheel would be worth a thought?

Funnily enough I actually find the hole useful for pay & display tickets when I've left the car park. There's also easier access to the power take off.

Some others are buying 911s in the ICE last chance saloon :D , I've opted for a high spec Macan.

You asked what impressed me most: the handling on windy country roads. I thought my SD was good on windy roads but the GTS is in a different league.

Bearing mind I'm comparing the sports exhaust with a standard SD exhaust but it had a really lovely tone.

I'm probably risking fate by saying this but it has been 45years since I had a puncture requiring a wheel change at the side of the road. In any event at nearly 75 there is no way I'm changing wheels myself. Anyhow I had to stop ticking boxes or Paul would have had a valid point :D

I probably wouldn't have specced the alcantara roof lining if I hadn't seen it in the demo car. It sets off the leather/alcantara seats really well and is lighter than the standard black cloth.

Sports Chrono! I think every GTS should have this specced. Unless of course you're keeping the cost to an absolute minimum - which you're not!! Other than that, it looks a perfect GTS spec.
Current - Macan III GTS
Previous - Macan II GTS, Macan I GTS

I had the alcantara roof lining on a loan car. It is very nice.
