Congrats. I thought the Turbos had 18-way seats as standard?

The carrera white is a metallic paint which will have the sparkle and it’s a bit brighter than normal white.

18 way might be but I didn’t spec. That’s the biggest disappoint in the car. If I could swap I would!

Porsche trivia: the color is spelled "Carrara" for some reason. I'll be monitoring this thread to enforce this spelling.

I once owned a Cayman in Carrara White. People liked it, but they didn't have to wash it. A Porsche must be clean at all times, of course.

The reason it's spelled "Carrara" white is becuase it is named after Carrara Marble

IIRC, 18-way seats are not standard equipment for the Macan Turbo. People seem to assume they are - and many
MTs have 18-way seats.

When I was searching for a CPO vehicle, I found many MTs that did not have 18-way seats.

Since I saw this thread, I went back and looked at the .pdf I got from the configurator when I was selecting options for my Macan Turbo. According to that, 18-way adaptive sport seats were standard equipment. As I recall there were certain leather options and packages that could change that to 8-way adjustable seats, but since Porsche targets the Turbo models as grand tourers you get a lot of comfort options as standard.

Here’s Carrara White parked next to White. The difference varies from subtle to stark, depending on the lighting and is tough to capture in a photo.

Carrara white metallic is a great white on a P-car.

I was actually in the market for a GTS but went the Turbo PP route.

The GTS has so much GTS specific things that makes it unique and it's priced at a bargain to be honest. I built my Turbo PP like a GTS. Carmine Red with black trim. I had to buy GTS wheels because you couldn't option the turbo with black wheels (it's one of those GTS specifics).

Drive both cars and you will pick the turbo due to power. 😁
