Default My 2017 Porsche Macan GTS Just Arrived

Absolutely love this GTS. I traded my Panamera GTS as I had not been driving it much, and really missed the utility from previous SUV's. This vehicle is truly perfect for our needs - tons of space, and the PDK tuning is very well engineered. The interior is also nicer than I was expecting (got full leather, black aluminum interior) and even the Burmester dash grilles are black now (they were silver on my previous Panamera Turbo). Very stealth interior, and love the heated alcantara wheel for those brisk mornings. Very luxe feeling, and the GTS is the perfect combo in the range. Here are some pictures.

Nice GTS. I am thinking about letting my Cayenne TT go for a GTS.

Thanks - we had 4 Cayennes (an S, GTS and 2 x Turbo's) before this and don't miss them in the least. The PDK alone is a huge step forward.

Love the Volcano. No offense to anyone but I never liked Agate (too brown in direct sunlight) but someone here in my parking structure has a Volcano GTS and it's really stunning.

Congrat's and many happy, safe miles.

Completely agree - had an Agate 991 when it first came out and my wife felt the same way. Volcano has more blue in it to me. Great color. Would be terrific on a 911.
Thx!

Great looking GTS. Was very impressed driving an S, but love the GTS trim. Congrats!

Looks like great spec. Interesting how everyone interprets things differently. I though my Macan was excellent for my wife and I but way too small when we had our first kid. Hardly fit anything so I just sold it and got an S8 which has been great so far. Might go panamera next but you say the Macan is roomier!?

Haha new Panamera is great - I was ready for a change after two Panameras in a row...I have not measured interior capacity but it feels pretty close to the Panamera or even more usable due to the hatch on the Panamera. S8 sounds fun, too. Congrats!
