Default Stock Macan Needs Help

I have a 2013 stock Macan. It is so terribly under powered. Wife's car and she even comments how slow it is. Can drive it in Sport Plus mode which helps a little, but is there ANYTHING that can be done short of selling and getting the GTS I told her to buy.

There are several aftermarket tuning options available, a search here will give you plenty to read. Short of that, you might want to look into one of the throttle devices like the Pedal Commander or Roar Pedal. They won't add power but they will make the throttle much more responsive. For $300 or less it could be all the car needs to liven it up.

Before you put a tune on it:
does it need a tune up first and foremost ? How many miles? Are you sure you’re even making stock power ?
