Default Rear Light Animation
Hi all,

I noticed on the demo Macan at my local dealer the rear light bar had a ‘Cylon’ style goodbye animation when locked.

Is this part of the tinted rear light bar option (I didn’t spec this) or a common feature? Not a big deal if not standard but looked fancy 😁

Either way I guess I’ll find out in 2-3 weeks when my ‘4’ arrives…

Cheers

Yes, it is linked to this specific option (black or blue), same applies for Matrix headlights

My spec was for black Porsche logo (2024 model) but the UK configurator doesn’t seem to have ‘Porsche logo in black only’ option - just the full tinted light bar and black Porsche logo combined (for more £).

I guess I was early in the ‘game’ and 2025 model options have been tweaked since the early configuratior…🤷‍♂️

Is that confirmed the case? I should have checked back in April when locking my config, but I had read this note and made an assumption that "Identical form and function" meant even the standard light strip would have the coming/leaving function.

Exactly! That was my thinking too, hence asking the question on the forum hoping it would be a standard feature…

Hoping it is on my build - I have black Porsche badging (no tinted rear strip) and full matrix headlights.

Also, on another topic, with rear wiper - I was ‘advised’ not to go for it as no washer so could scratch rear screen, but on configurator it clearly says with washer! So I went for it!

I can see the runs already!

I guess you can lift the spoiler when you use it.. that might prevent the runs.

All Macans are fitted with a rear camera washer so they’ll all have soggy bottoms at some point 😛🤣


Washer jet!
