Default 2020 Macan GTS Ordered

We have the new GT4 ordered but were also thrilled Porsche announced the new Macan GTS. We had a 2017 GTS and liked it very much. Actually we built the same spec and added a few options and its very close in cost to the 2017. A few days ago we gave our build to the dealer now we are just waiting on allocations to open. Has anyone done the same thing? We had a question? Has anyone noticed the front spoiler lip on the Base and Macan S but is missing on the GTS and Turbo pictures? Anyway attached are a few photos of our 2017 and the planned 20 model.

Merry Christmas to all Rennlisters!

Delivery of 2017 Macan GTS

Getting wrapped and coated.

Proposed 2020

Yes, the GTS has the Sport Design body kit as standard, hence different front end design from the Base and S models (no extended lip spoiler).

Congrats on your order, and Merry Christmas to you as well!

I informed GTS slot for July delivery with 5% off. Not sure if I can wait 7 months.

Nice, been toying with getting one in white as well. Would you mind sharing your Porsche Code? Would love to take a look at your configuration and possibly discuss your option choices, especially since you've owned one a few years and sure you've learned what options are more worthwhile than others.

Hi sonicworld,

My build code is PLBNTPT9. Total $97,260.

I still have a few concerns on my decision

- No Apple Carplay since I do not use Apple but Android phone
- Still not sure chalk has $3K value vs white
- Agate grey leather in terms of maintenance
- No sunroof since I do not use it and it weighs 100lbs.
- No Boss audio since I do not know it is $1K better than stock speaker.

Any of your comments welcomed.

Hey PT6, lovely configuration, looks amazing! I find I struggle with some of the more subjective choices as well. For me it's those damn design mirrors, lol. I personally wouldn't pay $3K for a paint color as the GTS is already a bit of a stretch for me but if you won't miss the cash and really like it, why not? I've watched many videos on maintaining light leather surfaces. I think if you cleaned & treated the leather a couple times a year you may be fine. I see you selected vented seats, insulated glass and ACC. I've heard mixed results with these options. Do you have experience with any of these or are you trying them for the first time?

In real life Agate Grey is quite dark. I would liken it to a semi faded black; nothing light about it.

sonicworld,

I agree with you on the paint color. I had a vented seat and it is a must option for me. My Lexus has ACC installed and it really helps me avoid a collision when I got distracted. Never had insulated glass.

Your European delivery S spec. was a reference to me. I decided not to have a panoramic sunroof. Agate Grey was chosen after seeing your specifications and photo. Thanks.

Got ya, the Porsche Code PT6 provided shows Leather Interior in Agate Grey/Pebble Grey, which are light color seats and what I was responding to...

You have me mixed up with someone else. I didn't do ED on mine, nor have I posted pics of mine.
