Hello Everyone!

I was browsing my dealer's website and came across this 2018 Macan GTS in Grigio Telesto. It looks absolutely gorgeous in my opinion, and PTS cars aren't the easiest to come by, which is why I thought I should share it. Here's a link to it:

If you're interested in this Macan, PM me and I'll connect you with the GSM there. He's a very nice guy who's actually willing to work with customers. I've known him since ordering my Cayenne Hybrid there back in October at an amazing discount (twice as much off compared to Cali dealers).

Here's a photo of the car from their social media:




Thanks,

Interesting color. Never heard of that one. I’d love to see it ‘in person’. If only the interior had more ‘pop’ to match the PTS character of the vehicle, something instead of all black, perhaps with some nice deviated stitching as well.

Thanks for sharing this. I always enjoy seeing uniquely optioned vehicles, especially Porsches.

 

Grigio Telesto is a Lamborghini color.
There’s a new 991 911 at my local dealer and when I asked the PTS color was told it is Grigio Telesto.

 

I love the color. It's close to my color.

 

Thoughts? Nice PTS choice on an otherwise mediocre build. Definitely overpriced.

 

Interesting. Sounds like something you'd need to see your doctor about.

 

No. It isn't. Look at the rear wing. Can barely see it in yours. Now look at the OP's pic again. Not even close.

 

I don't understand why someone would pay that much to PTS a Macan unless money is no object for that person. PTS on special cars like GT3 and stuff, sure.

 

To each his/her own. Nothing wrong at all with PTS on ANY Porsche. Someone would pay that much because they can, and they like it.

 

I PTS’ed my 2018 GTS. It’s fun.

Grigio Telesto is a handsome color and looks great on that car, but i agree with the person above that said it needs a little color. Also, there’s this spectrum of that color (from chalk at its lightest to GT at darkest) that’s so popular with so many automakers right now, that if you’re looking for a unique shade for your PTS, you might get frustrated with this.

 

Here's another interesting PTS car for sale, not sure what color, edit: slate gray, what a build! $137k!

I personally don't like the espresso interior, but otherwise this one has ALL the boxes ticked. And seems like a good buy at only $8k more than the OP for a $50k higher MSRP car.

Wow! But all that and they skipped the sport mirrors...and drilled the front plate mount in!

 

Nice, very unique one for sure. The original owner definitely took the BIG depreciation hit on that one!

PCCBs too, that alone is a unicorn option on a Macan. I’d personally like to see some additional Exclusive options like colored gauges and seatbelts on it to add a little more ‘pop’ and interest to the interior. But a nice build for sure.

Wow, this one’s not too far from me at all.

 

Hahaaaa

Actually it’s a color I love. Some friends own lambos with grigio telesto paint and I’m a fan of some cars in the “battleship gray’ color family. It can look menacing and aggressive but is still light enough to appreciate the “muscular” design and provide light versus shadow for contrast (as opposed to black, for example).

I wish I could have had PTS on the GT4 but of the available choices - Agate Gray was the only one that “spoke” to me.

I do agree with some who comment that if you are going to spend $$$ on PTS - make it something unmistakeable; something that doesn’t look like a standard factory color. I would have gone with UV (loved the RS we had in that paint), or maybe Peridot (loved my Cayman R and it was a very forgiving color). Or maybe some other metallic purple. But it would not be Grigio Telesto which is too close (IMO) to some other standard gray colors.

But to each their own, and if it’s what puts on smile on your face when it comes to what you drive: DO IT

 

that's nuts. i'll be honest, i'd be very tempted at the current price if i were in the market.
