Kinesis 996

3.0L hp bump to 360hp. Air suspension + PTV standard. 20" spyder wheels standard. Sport design front bumper. Typical GTS package, but a winning formula.

Nice... thanks for posting. I am seriously considering this and I hear through the grapevine that Dealers are still short on cars and would take mine back dollar for dollar. Hmm... Love that Carmine (?) Red.

Short GTS video:

predictable. Will there be a Turbo S ?

Not sure the GTS is necessary in the Macan line up........now you have 340/360/400 HP options? Not enough of a spread. Plus they are all turbo....GTS here is more of a trim level than anything.

In. Love it. My wife wants a Macan in summer of 2017. Was just going to do a nice optioned S. May need to switch to this. Would be awesome in white with all the red accents.

Hmmm... I'm not missing it. Mine has PASM w/o AS and PTV Plus. I'm not crazy about alcantara seats and only 20 more HP. Meh. I'm happy with what I have already. I wonder if sport exhaust is standard. That's probably the only thing I regret not getting but no biggie.

Yep - I think the HP spread is not significant enough between the different models. Traditionally, there is a small bump from the S to the GTS with a larger bump to the Turbo. Thus +20hp is consistent with other GTS models, IMO the turbo should be in the 425 - 430hp range.

Also looks like the GTS initially just comes in Carmine Red? While this is an awesome color, it is somewhat limiting... The Alcantara seats rule!

I have a '15 Turbo and am waiting for release/announcement of a Turbo S. Will go ahead if enough power bump but must be at least 40+HP bump not a small 20HP.

I cant wait for you guys to trade up, I'll be more than happy to buy one of the run of the mill Macan'ss

Wonder if a facelift is already in the pipe. Macan had been out for just 2 years? GTS already, facelift fall of next year?

Looks like the GTS is a 2017 model, so the 3rd model year. My guess would be a 2019 refresh.

Showed the wife. She said no go. She only wants white and wants white gauges, not red.

Back to the S.

I concur about guage colour. I have red gauges on my Turbo (red/black interior, white exterior) and they are difficult to see except in very bright light. Have white gauges in my 991S and they are much better/easier to see in all light situations.

Yes Sport Exhaust is standard. I like it and am thinking about ordering a GTS, but would get the vented leather seats.
