there are some new or at least confirmed bits.

1. Base engine lost 2.5% power.
2. Consumption and emissions are up 7% (under new tests)
3. Price hike of 400gbp (but pcm is standard now?)
4. Available to order now, meaning to be at configurator in 6-12 hours from now?
5. various tweaks and new minor options (ioniser , new wheels, assistance etc)

Apart from the revised rear lights and large screen i can't see why you would rush out to change if you currently have a Macan. I for one won't be doing, unless the GTS is radically changed once that hits the showrooms.

Also "Porsche has extended the list of options designed to enhance convenience, which now includes a heated windshield and an air ioniser that – together with the fine particulate air filter (fitted as standard) – improves the quality of the air inside the vehicle."

Just had a read of the link at the top of the thread and power of the base model is being quoted as 245bhp with a combined consumption of about 34 mpg. Bit of a retrograde step on the power front in my eyes as the current 252 bhp motor hardly sets your pants on fire

Quite a few other manufacturers fit 2.0T petrol engines that push out close to 300 bhp. That is quite a difference

The fuel consumption looks spot on though as that is what we get on average in ours

Feel more than disappointed TBH. Just what I didn’t want, a depowered/ underpowered base model that can only just keep up with a kite surfer (!), and only available in preset configurations. Think I might get my 3k deposit back, buy and keep a different car for a year or so and come back to Porsche when the GTS is announced.

Looks like the new emissions regulations are going to have a negativie effect on power outputs for a while.
Also not seeing a mode switch on the steering wheel even though the car in the add looks like it has SC.
