Default Python Green GTS

I have just paid a deposit on this beauty. Will be picking it up this week. UK based.

It will be my seventh Porsche and I plan for it to be a long term keeper.

It’s a retirement/redundancy present to myself!

Thank you very much!

Hopefully this will prove to be a perfect “one car garage”. I see it as an updated Macan Turbo PP (Performance Pack). 😎

Thanks! Your Carrera T looks awesome in Python Green!

After two black Porsches, I’m back to a cheerful, bright colour again!

Previous cars include a Racing Yellow Carrera T and a Carmine Red Panamera 4.

100% agree!

I was following a Python Green Cayman to the gym this morning. That colour really pops in the sunshine!!

The car is now mine. Met up with a Porsche buddy on Friday. He’s had his Macan S since March 2016.

Thanks! Today is day 5 of my GTS ownership. Only other Macan I’ve owned was a 2.0 back in 2016, briefly. My Python GTS is superior in every way to that 2016 base Macan!

My GTS obviously feels quite a bit taller, wider and heavier than my Cayman S and my 991.2 GT3 (my previous two cars). Am gradually getting used to the Macan, gaining in confidence and chucking it around a little more. Have covered lots of different roads including motorways, A roads and driving through Bristol city centre (I’m UK based).

Am still tweaking the seat/driving position until I get that perfect set up. Currently driving mostly in Sport mode and with suspension in low setting. Am liking the noises, despite the exhaust being quieter than my recent sports cars.

Overall am gelling with my GTS and am confident that this is the start of a beautiful relationship!
