Default Macan Turbo S?

sorry if this is a dumb question. I was challenged on the highway the other day by a guy driving a "Macan Turbo S." I didn't know they existed. Is that just badging?

two weeks later I came across the same badging on one in another state.

Nothing to be sorry about. Everyone asks them once in a while.

That's badging, someone added an S. Closest thing would be a Turbo with a Performance Pack. But it didn't come standard with PCCB so it didn't get the S moniker.

Too many posers out there. I get a good laugh when juveniles in their Suburus/fart cans challenge me. I refuse to entertain them regardless of what I’m driving, especially when I’m in something much faster.

If you're in a Macan....they'd probably show you some taillights. Modded WRX STi's are pretty fast.

I didn't know that was the reason!

True, those modded fart cans are quick. I’ve seen 1,000HP GTIs also. They’ve all been shown my tail lights in my younger years. Looking back, I’m not proud but it sure was fun! Many modded fart cans will smoke a ‘22 Macan GTS for sure. SUVs, big or small, just are not going to fare well amongst lighter and lower CG performance vehicles. I didn’t buy my Macan to entertain juveniles. My current big boy toy can potentially be the fastest with a few bolt ons but homey don’t play dat anymore!
