Default New GTS or not?
I have a Macan Turbo MY21 with approximately 29.000 km,
Why should I replace it with a new GTS?
Is there a reason?

Is your lease expiring?

No, I was asking if there is a valid reason to make the replacement.

No, the new GTS has the same power as your current Turbo, but your current Turbo has proper buttons and is better looking IMO (I don't like the 95B.3 front ends).

I believe you are the only one who can answer that question after reviewing the differences and the cost. Don't let others with other personal preferences tell you how to spend your money.

Assuming there's nothing mechanically wrong there's no reason, unless you just want the latest and greatest. However, keep in mind that internal combustion engines will be replaced by all electric soon. This alone may be a good enough reason to buy a new Macan.

I think this is the most logical answer, also because I have seen that the option of carbon-ceramic brakes is no longer available. I have them and they are great. Thank you all.

As somebody who owned a '21 GTS and now has a '24 GTS, I agree with this. Keep the '21. Better looking and you'll get no power benefit from the new GTS vs. what you have now.
