I think the image on my 2017 Macan is very good - certainly the best of any other car I've seen.

It's difficult to drive it sensibly, it's just so aggressive in it's nature. I haven't even tried the PDK sport button yet, I'll stay off that for the moment. Keeping it in today as it's a bit moist out there. I think I probably need to take it on a long motorway run at some point to give it some varied motoring.

Glad to hear you're actually driving it, Arif as so many people hardly do with a GT3. It's what it was intended to be used for after all!

Thanks Guys, although I'm sticking to dry conditions for the moment as it is a bit of a beast with 500hp all going to the rear wheels. The interesting thing is that it feels faster than my last GTS even though on paper it's only 0.2 secs quicker, although Porsche is one of those manufacturers that under estimates how quick their cars are and people have found the cars to have faster 0-60 times than those quoted by Porsche. They also underestimate the number of ponies under the bonnet so in effect the car could be producing more than 500hp!

I've got it on mine, as the GT3 has no parking aids whatsoever so thought it would be a good idea to spec the rear camera which was available on the options list. The point I wanted to make was that I think the image is stunning, not the usual fuzzy picture you get from these things - am wondering whether they've put new cameras on the latest 911s?
Good to hear - was probably the only “extra” that I was hesitant about. Thanks.
