E85?
I just picked up a macan s as a daily and am interested to know if anyone has tried running e85? Sounds like the aftermarket is somewhat tame in comparison to other vehicles, I.E. no upgraded turbos or e85 maps yet. But curious if anyone has contemplated it since turbo cars really wake up on e85.

The owner's manual specifically states not to run fuels containing more than 15% ethanol. You'd have to make a lot of modifications to run E85 if you're really interested in doing so; it's not something like a software update or a turbo swap. Lots of different parts, seals, lubricants, etc. have to be changed to deal with 85% ethanol fuel. I'd consider it an impractical design change to make.
