Macan S & GTS petrol. Waiting times??

[Paul_RH]

Dropped a 3k deposit on one a couple of months back and was told circa 18 months. I'm in no rush but I'm rather hoping it's not this long. Anyone else after one? Heard about build slots? Cheers, Paul.

I asked at Tewksbury OPC this week and was told 12 months for the GTS but longer for the petrol S

Thanks. Seems to be getting better. Logic tells me Porsche will wait til the order books are good then run a batch of RHD's. The US and Europe get the lions share I'd imagine.

Try OPC Colchester. I had a Macan GTS for expected delivery September but cancelled my order after the Silverstone driving day. A nice car but not special enough to replace the BMW M as my daily driver.

Thanks for the heads up. I gave them a call but nowt doing. Mind you, they certainly sounded more positive than my OPC.

Cheers, Paul.

Big up to OPC Sheffield! Called me yesterday to offer a build slot on a GTS in September. Locked down spec and confirmed immediately. Happy days!

Sorry to jump on your GTS thread ... the Diesel v petrol (non-GTS) ... is the Petrol that much better? (to be clear not a MPG discussion).

I just thought the diesel would be more popular, or am I wrong?

Thanks

No, I don't think you're wrong Andy. The diesel sales are higher than that of the petrol I think. The diesel is a great (Audi) engine and has massive torque. But it's a diesel. In a Porsche...
It'll be our 'most days' car (well, my wife anyway). I've got a 911 turbo for daft days so we've chosen the Macan GTS as a balance between practicality and sporty.

Petrol S Macans are in short supply compared to the diesel S. Roughly 700 petrol compared to 4100 diesel since the Macan was introduced.

Wow, that's a huge difference. And explains the strong money being asked of second hand petrols.

It seems a boat load of Macan GTS's have been allocated to the UK. A lot of people with deposits down have recently been contacted with build slots. Happy days!
