As someone who will occasionally tow about 1,700kg I like a bit of weight in a car.

Porsches were always lightweight cars. I was surprised to read initially that the Macan was a 2-tonner.

But isn't that because it's not very well built?

The FPace is certainly not well built from my experience and what I have seen but that's not the reason it's lighter.

The FPace is around 75-80% recycled aluminium.

The Macan is a Porsche 'middle weight' ;)

Lightest are the 718s. ( Your SD is roughly 39% heavier than your Boxster S.)

Next come the 911s.

Macans & Panameras are similar in weight. (Your SD is about 30kg heavier than my Panamera 4, excluding options.)

The heavyweight is the Cayenne, starting at 1,985kg. :ugeek:
