Having just had a dig by "Tracky" and didn't realise I was obligated to declare and post my new car collection :lol: :lol:

Not everyone's cup of tea but for me having had Macans for nearly 8 years it was time for a change. Wanted something with better rear passenger room more space without going to Ceyenne size. For me the Macan is beginning to look a little dated and not enough improvement really on the Gen 3, especially tech wise and not easy finding something to compare with the Macan for sure, guess Porsche are keeping all improvements and a more modern looks back for the new EV.

Only had it a couple of weeks but so far I'm impressed and it's living up to my expectations.

So a couple of the obligational pics below :lol: :lol:

That looks nice EDZ and I know what you mean re space, room and tech. However I’d have to say you are on dodgy ground claiming any styling upgrade against a Macan! πŸ˜‚
I love the interior of the Grecale and that engine will be a peach, I just think they missed a trick on the exterior design somehow. All utterly subjective of course, enjoy your new ride πŸ‘

Thanks Jon.

I know what you mean it's all subjective hence why I said not everyone's cup of tea :lol: But for me just enough as I can't stand some of these new pointy, sharp angles and over space age designs and looks, especially on new EV's, getting old I suppose :lol:

With you there EDZ and so glad you went for such a fantastic colour too, it would have been sacrilege to go with some sort of grey… πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Thanks ScotMac.

Very hard to catch on camera but it's not plain racing yellow. Amazing actually, it's from Maserati's special Fouriserie rang.
When the light and sun catches it there is subtle blue and gold metallic metal flake in it and as the sun catches higher parts on panels it highlights them and changes colour, a sort of pearlescent.

Congrats, EDZ!

Always good to see a yellow sporty car on here! ;)

Plus, I love a bit of Italian exotica! Will certainly be a rarer sight than a Macan!

Enjoy! 😎

P.S. Am glad that Tracky encouraged you to post some pics. ;)

Rare maybe :D Well if you see one like this it will be a 1 in 4 chance it's me at the moment :lol:
I knew there was only ever going to be a maximum of 200 world wide and a maximum of 10 to the UK of the Trofeo Primaserie and have now found out just 4 have come to the UK so far.

Thanks Skyway.

I waited just over 13 months as this is the Trefeo Primaserie a special addition model, but I believe delivery for standard Trefeo's is around the 6 to 8 months and have been arriving in the UK since October last year.
