So we picked up the Macan S yesterday.
Logged the first 1000 KM now. the Macan S is a pleasant surprise.
It's so quiet, solid and torquey!
120-140Mph is relaxing because quiet and very stable. Even on Scorpio snow tires.
We opted for thermal and sound insulated glass, no sunroof, no roof rails and air suspension and I think that helps.

MRS TRAKCAR approves.

Congrats to the Mrs.

Congrats. Thermal and sound insulated glass is awesome for comfort. Just be ready to hold your sunpass/ epass outside the car driving thru toal boots.

Most importantly!

Anyway: Welcome back to the Old Country.

They never work anyway, toll for me is just registering the plate and pay the tickets.

Yes indeed!
Just a few days than to Amsterdam and to UK via Eurotunnel :-)

As I mention before the car is plenty quick, Mrs TRAKCAR behind the wheel today in pooring rain and I didn't have sweaty hands for most of the time

The 70L fuel tank (a design leftover from Q5) is ridiculously too small..

Mrs TRAKCAR probably believes everyone drives like Reter having been around him so long so its just normal to be at 134mph in the rain!

My wife has the Macan Turbo, great car but the fuel consumption is disappointing. Seems to use about the same as my Panamera Turbo used to which considering that was a 4.8L V8 and an engine generation older isn't too impressive.

I got the Macan for my wife last summer and I must say its a great little SUV. We do have one complaint, the air vents on the drivers side are tucked behind the steering wheel which blow right on your hands, its been a little annoying trying to figure out the air flow in the car. Just a minor thing but living in FL it can get a bit irritating on long drives. My solution, turn it on full blast and put my racing gloves on

It is like having the air vent sitting just behind the cup holder with a cup of soon to be cold coffee.

Back to the RS at Sebring.
I stupidly never tried the suspension in firm setting. It may be faster if it can still take the big bumps..

Car dives a lot under braking, Porsche set it up nose high but it comes down under braking.
The more weight on the front the harder it stops.

Still lift the front tire in T17

One pic per post :-(

Inside wheel lift even set up soft and high!

RS may have the same problem as the GT4...front springs way too soft. I got massive front dive under medium/heavy braking in the GT4. Hence when I went to a stiffer spring set-up.
