Default 2023 Porsche Macan T- Chalk/Red Leather

Greetings friends!

Got my car delivered in June … about to hit 2k miles on it later today. Don’t see Chalk too much in the real world … love this color, I got black side blades and black door handles to really make it pop. Excited to be apart of the Porsche club, and this forum!!

Nice! Picked up my 2023 T in June as well and I’m currently at similar mileage.

What are your thoughts on the engine? I think the power is fine, just wish it sounded a little more aggressive sometimes.

Thank you! Power and handling is fantastic- feels like driving a little coupe. Have you tried driving in Sports+ Plus mode yet? I started a few days ago (couldn’t wait any longer) and it’s a little louder than just Sport. I agree; I do wish the revs made more noise.

What color combo is yours?

Thats a great color combo ! Enjoy it ! Love Chalk ! That was my number one option when going for a Macan, instead I settled for my second favorite, Miami Blue. Good luck with it !

Mine is white with the T interior.

I’ve been having some fun with the sport response button after turning 2000 miles, and it definitely does sound better, particularly on up shifts during harder acceleration.

Overall, very happy with it so far!

Beautiful car, congratulations! We just got home from Munich and chalk was a very noticeable and common color...Macan, Cayenne and 911. I would definitely choose it on my next build.

How exactly do you use that button? I use it to turn different modes but when I hold it there was some kind of a countdown but nothing really happened; then again I was driving really slow in my neighborhood.

Use it before merging onto the highway or passing, it will force the transmission into the lowest gear possible so that you are in the meat of the power band and able to build full boost as needed when you hit the pedal.

It's good if you want to be in the lowest gear without having to engage the paddles and guess how many gears you want to drop but not necessarily ready to accelerate full throttle at that moment.

Congrats and great choice, enjoy!

Exactly, I like to press it as I enter an on ramp or also if I’m at an intersection and there aren’t any cars in front of me, anytime I feel like spirited acceleration, the oil temp is at least in the 190s and conditions are safe.
