Could this be the new facelift version of the Macan ? take a look at the upper and lower creases in the rear lid and around the lower rear quarters :

Personally I don't think it is. My reasoning is, if Porsche wanted to clock up some road miles on the new not yet realised Macan. I think the last thing they would do is Tango it bright orange to make it stand out

Just my thoughts

Not sure it is a facelift version, it's shot in France, and the rear right quarter looks Photoshopped in a poor way. Great colour though, perhaps a wrap. Body changes will be minor and subtle if Porsche follow their normal facelift practice. I'm hoping for good upgrades to the interior, wider trim and body colour options and a much better instrument panel.
Are we expecting some revelations in Autumn 2018, deliveries in March 2019?

The next Macan needs:
* Volvo tech (the new XC60 blows Porsche into next week on safety and tech)
* Citroën/Renault colours
* Jaguar exterior styling and colour options
* Fire the looney that designed the Panamera internal switches and ergonomics.
* A proper CFRP weight loss.
* Options reduced to 3 trim levels and 4 option packs

Winner

The whole car in the image looks a bit like an artist's impression to me. Unusual looking roof, with central dark (matte finish) panel extending to the rear spoiler...

'would agree, it's been Photoshop'd.
Several give-aways;-
The luminosity of the car's rear is wrong for the position of the sun from shadows.
No shut lines around the LHS boot lid.
The LHS rear light cluster is distorted.
No "orange paint" between the struts of the door mirror.
Much colour bleeding around window frames etc.
That crease line at the bottom of the hatch stops short on the LHS.

Or, it could just be a reflection.

The rear views still look suspicious though

Whatever comes along the MK1 will always be the one people remember just like the escorts RS and the Golf GTI...
