I think the Macan May look great in white but Carerra seems a little “clinical” to me but standard white looked great on a 911 at the OPC.
It seems a little warmer - I wondered what your thoughts are or if anyone has got one with pictures?

This one looks good, putting the money towards the exterior trim instead

That's how my cayman was specced. I'm very tempted to go base black or white on my macan as the rest of the paint colours are so dull. Papaya very tempting.

This is the loan base Macan I had for a few weeks.

Avoid, I have had two white cars on the grounds that they are very visible and that adds to safety ( unlike Grey cars). However, I just did not have the time to keep them clean

It does look stunning actually. He has specced exterior trim package which should be all black grill yet he has the white inserts - I wonder how that came about, I have asked him but no response yet

Is it not just the GTS that's all black? The S has the extra paint as standard, or so I thought 🤔

Have had plenty of white cars, I think dirty white looks better than dirty black!

No - that trim package gives an all black grill but the insert elements that are usually coloured are gloss black. This looks particularly good if you have gloss black elements on the side like door handles or gloss black side blades. It also gives a painted roof spoiler (which he has) that also adds something a bit different.

White often looks great in a showroom, just IMHO not sure the Macan always translates so well on the road though, especially when straddled by a few white vans 🤔😳
