Macan Rennline New Product Development Ideas
#16
H&R and EuroCode Tuning already make front and rear upgraded swaybars to fit the Macan.
ECS Tuning, EuroCode Tuning and 034 Motorsports already make upgraded front lower crossbraces.
034 Motorsport makes an upgraded upper-front stress-bar brace.
034 Motorsport makes upgraded and adjustable sway-bar endlinks, and front control arms.
And some of these above manufacturers make higher density transmission and rear diff and rear subframe inserts/bushings.
All the Audi Q5 and A6/A7 stuff fits the Macan. Most (except swaybars) of the Audi S4 stuff fits.
Why do you care if it has "Rennline" printed/machined into those items?

One of the best selling phone holders on the market is the Quadlock. It’s fantastic and has many options and applications. (Especially in the active Motorsports segment) But there is no “base” you can use to affix it to the Macan or any Porsche model. I would like to see a universal type base that could be used to affix other brands of phone holders besides just the Rennline magnetic one.
I have Rennline holders in all my Porsches but they no longer get used since I switched to the Quadlock system.

2024 Macan Visors
Hey Everyone,
I'm Sam from Rennline. I manage the engineering team here and I am working on our new product development pipeline. We have a 95B Macan Turbo in house for the next couple months and I wanted to reach out to the community for R&D ideas.
What would you like to see developed for the Macan? Interior, exterior, performance, aesthetic, or fixes for common issues. We are all ears!

I just bought a 2024 Macan. Unbelievably, the sun visor is fixed and cannot be used to protect from sun coming from the side windows. There are some very ugly third party solutions, https://www.amazon.com/TuckVisor-Win...g=snx1-20&th=1 . How about a new visor solution to include a hinge to cover the side window? Leather would be nice....

I second the sun visor issue.

1) significant mass reduction and at least 25% better fuel economy! (we can dream, can't we?)
2) wider 20" diameter lightweight forged rims with proper offset similar in appearance to a Ronal R54 but with 10 spokes; _not_ overpriced heavy 21" wheels.
3) simple clean properly painted replacements for entire front grille & fascia and also the ugly lower rear fascia. Porsche designers have royally effed up what used to be a clean look with unnecessary textures and patterns and aggressive angular lines on the plastic add-ons for what used to be a clean muscular classic Porsche design. Include proper screened grille protection for radiators.
4) matte film protection for center console buttons.
5) proper centered US front license plate holder that puts the license as low as possible Drilling is fine.
6) agreed with visor extension
Going off the deep end ...
7) Rear seat delete option for those who haul pets, not kids
8) relocated Lithium battery replacement -- get the weight off the nose!!!
9) improved metal shifter paddles (since Porsche won't give us a proper manual transmission)
10) exhaust deletion kit (actually serious ... I am no more impressed looking at huge tailpipes any more than I am looking at the south end of a northbound cow. Make a catback exhaust system that concentrates on mass reduction and completely hides the exhaust outlets from view. There is no need in the world for oversized jeweled finish pollutant outlets.)

" 8) relocated Lithium battery replacement -- get the weight off the nose!!! "
The battery is under the rear trunk floor.....
To get some weight off the nose, you need the V6 to 4-Cyl conversion kit....
