On the surface it seems similar to the 2018 Sport Edition.

Did not see this one coming. T packages make more sense in the 911 and 718s. I don't feel like it's a great choice for the Macan. Interesting though.

Been looking for the right Sport Edition for a while. Happy to see this released, yet at the same time wondering if I should wait for this.

Rubbish. All Macan 2.0 should be banned, only GTS and Turbo must exist. Indeed, Porsche should make a Turbo S.

Maybe the T designation honors the early 911T. Maybe not. My first exposure to Porsche was a 911T that my college roommate had in 1969. That car was a blast and left a lasting impression on me.

Same here. I bought a new one in the early 1970s, kept it for ten years and wish I still had it!

God bless you,
Tom
