Definitely, the crayon and white need black blades and handles and also black wheels. :D
No, just needs the top coat, any colour will do. :evil:
Well I’ve not heard that one before 😂😂

There is the option to paint the blades in body colour. That gives you black GTS. The red was important to me to carry the brakes through to the body. I therefore paid the extra £150ish for the red. Its a nice touch and makes a huge visual difference. To me anyway.
Im not sure if the GTS is painted or just a decal. I know you can buy the red decal on inter web if you wanted red gts on a used Macan.
Do you have a link for the decal - seen them on a US site ... just curious really.

Google red GTS logo and a French company comes up that is reasonable. Looking at their site I did get thinking about what a Macan might look like with Martini stripes!!!!

Found the French site - €6 is a lot less than £100 from the US 😳.

Hi,
I thought these photos might be of interest. I took my SD in for it's 8 year service (at 5 years due to mileage) and was given a 15 mile old GTS for the day. Unfortunately I didn't have an opportunity to drive it more than a few miles and only around town but my impressions were deeply impressive.
- It is, I think, on normal rather than GTS air and felt incredibly taught but smooth and comfortable at the same time. My SD is on 20s with PASM and Air and feels similar in Sport but less good bump absorption than the GTS. I never got the GTS into Sport etc. The steering was heavy but very direct and had beautiful feel.
- It was hard to judge performance. I suspect that it would fly on the open road but around town it didn't feel quite as effortless as the SD, driven on a wave of torque. It sounded very nice, both with PSE switched on and off!
- The main change to the interior is the bigger touchscreen (very responsive) and the console buttons. The new centre console worked well and didn't appear to get finger marked. I could not say that it is better or worse - just different and more contemporary looking. Happy with both solutions. Everything else is pretty much the same as in 2016.
- The wheels are GT Design in Satin Platinum and quite lovely. The side-blades are carbon but did not really stand out against the black.
Overall impression - the chassis on this suspension set up is amazing. Everything else is just as good as it always was.

Hey all. Apologies in advance as I know there are some pics on here somewhere but just can’t find them….I’m looking to place an order on a Macan S v.soon and looking to make some choices on where to spend money on options (like everyone ) - Does anyone have any pics of the standard interior seats/dashboard on the Macan S and would also welcome some pics of the standard wheels with Miami blue if anyone has one…(long shot I know)

My experience is very close to yours. I had a GTS for hour or so last weekend. Carbon side blades barely noticeable on a dark car and start to looking like a vinyl wrap when they get dirty. I would presume your car like the one I drove didn’t have power steering plus. Answered my question to leave this option unchecked as I felt the steering was one of the best aspects of the car. Unfortunately the car I drove also had the raised non GTS air suspension. Seeing as my experience is similar to yours I now have the dilemma of which suspension I should choose.

Remember the power steering plus only makes itself known at low speed, when manoeuvring.
It’s a must have for my wife who wouldn’t drive the Boxster (which didn’t have it) but made the 911 her favourite car (which did)
