Default Sport Design Package

My car just arrived at my dealer. It's the first one they've had arrive with the Sport Design Package option.

Looks nice, particularly with the black rails and window trim. Am on the fence about the rear valance paint though - like the black better.

Looks awesome! Love the valance paint as well. Just gives it a real "pop" look, much like the Cayenne GTS/Turbo S with its painted diffusers.

Mine will look just like that, except no rails, no front plate, and a lowered AS suspension (is yours on steel?). Thought I was gonna get the first one and was eagerly awaiting real life pics otherwise!

I kind of want to see one of these with a bike rack on top of it. It's one of those cars that's made better looking by a good bike rack. And I'm not kidding.

Also - hi, K-A. WillInDenver from the other forum.

The car is on steel with PASM. I believe the transit blocks were still in place as it had just driven off the delivery truck so is sitting abnormally high in the photo's. I was going to get the rear diffuser painted gloss black but now having seen it in person it looks good in body colour and makes the rear of the car look lower and wider which the photo's fail to convey very well.

Looks great. Love the front end.

I've got an S with 'Sport Design Package in Black with Sideskirts' coming in Sapphire Blue. Jan delivery.

Can't wait.

Love it in white. Your photos help relieve me. I've done a lot of imagining and studying it on the Cayenne's and I think it gives it a sportier and more dominating look (in all white). It also looks richer, IMO. The matte black plastic diffuser on the Turbo, while even if slightly "cheap looking", isn't exactly "rich".

In gloss black it would also look great, but I prefer the white. Also makes it look unique to any other Macan.

I think it's really hard to get a good perception of the aesthetics on a white car especially in photos. But I think in real life it would look great.

Any more new pics of this bad boy while I wait for mine? Pretty much the only way I can figure how my car will look, factoring out the differences of having the AS stance, no front plate and no roof rails of course.

Macan's have a towing capacity of about 4400 lbs if you have a trailer with brakes.

It is interesting that the Turbo with SD package and PSE looks very similar to an S: round tailpipes, and single set of parking lights in front. First photo of that color I've seen. Very nice.
