Just been into Porsche Leeds this afternoon. They have two new Macans and both are in Crayon. One is a showroom car and the other outside as a demonstrator. The showroom car has 21” 911 Turbo design wheels and the demonstrator car has 21” Spyders. Crayon looks greyer in natural overcast daylight but photographs much whiter. Crayon needs to be seen to be appreciated but not sure it is worth £1676.

Not a fan of crayon. Looks like they put the undercoat on and forgot the rest!

I quite like it but not worth the premium price. Should be a no cost colour as it’s not metallic and not special enough to warrant a premiom price.

Apart from PTS no range colours should be additional cost. But Porsche know they will always have some customers prepared to pay over the odds.

You’re kidding that they charge a premium not to paint the car 😳

How bizarre!

The optional clear rear light bar looked better in the flesh than I thought it would.

Certainly looks good in your pics Mark + a nice alternative to the red version.

When you look carefully at the rear light bar you notice lots of intricate detailing that is not apparent from photos.
