Re body roll, are we comparing the Macan EV to a 911? We know how that comparison will (and properly so) would turn out.

I am not buying my Macan turbo for the track (have my C8 Z06 for that), but I know based on media reviewers I trust and by my seeing their videos, that the Macan EV will be a lot of fun being exercised on curvy country roads — which I will use it for in addition to it being my fun DD.

Exactly! Good luck doing a weekend getaway with 4 people, luggage and snowboards in a 911.
Or doing an IKEA or Home Depot run and bring back large furniture or bags and bags of soil - all things the Macan can handle easily while still being a fun/performance car.

IMHO, the single still preview 'highlight' shot of the video seems to appear more dramatic than watching the actual video.

I also have zero interest in track use, but am interested in how it compares to the ICE version. The outgoing GTS is certainly not immune from of body roll.

Are you sure you want to drive a Porsche on those narrow, rough country back-roads in Poland? :P

The Macan media testing folks drove the Macan spiritedly on the narrow mountain roads of southern France as we see here in IMO the best video review of all, e.g., this one done by “savagegeese.” Recommend starting at 14:25.

Yes it was in Sport+ but there were four people (!) inside the car during this test.
Looks way more dramatic on video and this scenario was extreme.

EU funding goes a long way, you would be surprised
