Hi,
Happy new year all.

Can anybody please help me to save a 120 mile trip to the OPC.

We are looking to buy a new Macan GTS and would like to know the distance from the floor to the bottom of the STANDARD wing mirrors. Yes, I know the GTS in 10mm lower :-)

At our last house we had an electric garage door fitted so it was no problem with our Macan S , but we have recently moved and there are metal arms each side that hold the door to the frame at a certain height.

Can't fit an electric door to this garage as there is no pedestrian door fitted (cost saving for builders).

TIA
David

Does your potential car have air suspension or not as that could make it vary somewhat? My car has air so if your answer is 'no' I cannot help I'm afraid!

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your offer but No we are not going for Air as we found 21"s on PASM ok last time and this time it will prob be 20"s Spyders with PASM.

Mine has steel suspension (and ‘20s) - I’m currently away from my tool-box but should have access to a tape tomorrow.👍

Can’t recall whether or not specced SD mirrors on mine but I’ll submit a photo....😉

“ I was wondering when you’d spot that, Wilson” 😂

I’ll take some measurements anyway.....(assuming phase 2 is the same height as phase 1🤓)

We had sports mirrors on the Macan and 911 to get rid of the black plastic on the cars and as you know they do not fold. This time if we go down the Macan GTS route we will have to have a reversing camera and folding mirrors to have any chance of getting it into our garage .

Just doing the ground work at the moment but our SE has already advised it would not be a problem in having a July build and another OPC is expecting its 1st GTS deliveries in March and also has availability for our September requirement.

Sports mirrors on the Macan do fold.

Ah, the old internet myth that sports design mirrors don’t fold on a Macan! 😉😉

(Mine certainly do👍)
