Just reading the latest Christophorus magazine and on pages 22/23, there is a ghosted image of what I presume to be (listed as) the next Macan? It seems the clamshell bonnet is being replaced by a conventional wing/front bumper interface and the wheel arches are gaining the Cayenne style wheel arch lips?

Isn’t that just an image of the new Cayenne Turbo?

Must be typo. Same numberplate ;)

Really nice looking in white though.

Seems you are correct?

Bit of a daft mistake for a brand magazine!

It certainly IS a mistake.

I wrote to Christophorus and pointed out that caption, mentioning Macan, did not match with
the photo, which is obviously a Cayenne.

Their reply included the following:

you are right! The model shown is of course a Cayenne, the description was not supposed to be seen as the caption to the
photograph but as a separate informative text. We are sorry for the confusion caused and will consider this topic for our next
issues.

Thank you very much for your message and kind regards from Stuttgart



I don't believe I've ever heard of such a writing 'style'. The explanation does not seem plausible to me.
