Spoke with OPC this morning. So when you switch to 14 or 18 way you do lose the Alcantara centres, however apparently you can then have them put back on at an additional cost as Porsche have to remove the leather centers and put the alcantara ones back on.

Probably just stick with standard 8 ways...anything will be comfier compared to rock hard Audi TTS seats.

Agreed, one other thing to think about with 20" or 21" wheels.
The max size that you can have all season tyres is 20", 21" comes with standard tyres.

If that’s the case it would bring up an alert on the configuratior. I think it’s just glitch in the configuratior image.

Question:
Sorry if this has been addressed before. I am buying a used Macan S from the UK. How do I verify that it has PTV Plus and PDLS options as claimed by the dealer because there are no switches in the centre console. Thanks

Not sure on checking for PTV...maybe throw the car into a corner hard and see if you can feel the diff pulling you round?


With regards to PDLS, if you look at the light cluster there should be x4 LED lights around the central projection unit, this signifies PDLS.

The dealer should have the original sales invoice which will list the spec.

We bought a used Turbo and the dealer printed the complete spec sheet, including the standard features, using the car's VIN. Looks like this (PTV Plus is option code 1Y1):

Our stable:
- 992 Carrera T - manual - Ruby Star Neo - Carrera Excl. wheels (2023)
- BMW 240i xDrive (G42) - Portimao Blue - AC Schnitzer tune
ex: 981 Cayman GTS, Macan S Diesl, Macan Turbo, 991.2 Carrera S, 718 Cayman GTS, i30 N, 718 Cayman GTS 4.0
