Google translate gives:

“Freshness cure for the Macan
Porsche missed the Macan a facelift! So the How To Cars draftsman sees the fresh Porsche. While the refreshed model externally missed the continuous tail light strip, hardly anything happens inside.”

So there we go! :? :?:

It says: "Frischekur für den Macan
Porsche verpasst dem Macan ein Facelift! So sieht der AUTO BILD Zeichner den frischen Porsche. Während dem aufgefrischten Modell äußerlich das durchgehende Heckleuchtenband verpasst wird, passiert im Inneren kaum etwas."
Anyone speak German?
My OPC says no facelift GTS this year, but this makes me wonder. I'm agonising over build slot in April, or wait and see what the facelift means - new engines, new dashboard, etc.?
I do. Basically says its a render from their artist. And that macan will get taillightband, but no significant changes inside...

So as I suspected, artist's impression & not an official Porsche image.

Sounds like a non-article based on guesswork & rumours that have been circulating for months. :roll:

If this is, what is coming up, I will be glad having the 'old' model.
I think the picture is fiction made by motor journalists.

As virage showed this is a quick manipulation of a regular GTS. And if you look at the detail it really gives the game away. Eg. there is no definition on the rear light clusters. This is particularly visible on the far set - no ridges, just a smooth line.
There’s also something subtly wrong with the look of the suggested full width reflector where it meets the ridge underneath when compared to the Panny.

I really hope! 😬
