Yes. Macan S with Euro Delivery. Got a good discount so it is possible. We are regular customers at the dealer and we service our Cayman and two 911s with them so that may have factored into getting a good discount since they know we will be customers for a long time. 57 days until pickup in Stuttgart.
My 2014 911/50 is in for some CPO work on a hydraulic clutch line and I was given a '17 S. Drove it all weekend and very, very satisfied with it. Very lightly optioned with none of the performance options. Our '19 S on order has all of the performance and driver aid options so those along with the bump in HP and Sport Chrono should make it even better than the 17 loaner S. It handled very solidly with plenty of power and maneuverability. We only briefly test drove the Macan before ordering, but knew it would be awesome. Just happy to have had the opportunity to put a few hundred miles on one and really get a feel for it. My wife drove it as well and was very satisfied. Looking forward to getting to Europe.
For Euro Delivery, they have a deal with Travel Incorporated for fares. We did First Class over to be better rested on arrival from the Red Eye and Econ Comfort for the trip home since we will spend the night in Atlanta before the 3.5 hour drive home. The fare is about the same as if you booked Delta by yourself, but if you book first class round-trip it is fully refundable. To get that option on Delta, the fare is almost double. So, when we requested our dates for delivery, we booked first class round trip for the refundable, cancellable fare about 4 months out and paid the fare. Then, when we got confirmation of our date, we changed it to 1st class out and Econ Comfort back knocking about $1000 off the fare and booked. Took about 10 days to get the fare difference refunded to our credit card. Once you book anything other than first class round trip, the fare locks and isn't changeable on cancellable without a fee.

Euro Delivery was great!
Pickup the vehicle this Wednesday at the dealer. 45 days since we dropped it off in Stuttgart. Not bad.
