Macan EV

[rkwm1]

Word is car will be unveiled at the end of the year, with deliveries starting mid next year.

The rear doesn't look great to me.

600hp for the Turbo model will be good though.

I’d say there’s not a chance it will start with a 5! Reckon the 600 BHP one will probs start with an 8 and that’s before the inevitable goodies being added (so basically a £90K car potentially)

I'd say 120k for well optioned car. Porsche aren't been shy with their pricing atm.

Had a chat with my OPC today about these. Demand is pretty strong apparently. They have around 50 deposits and further 150+ interested customers, depending on price, spec, etc.

ICE Macan will be built into 2025, so if the EV is not to your liking plenty of time to get orders in for one of those!

What do Porsche Centres charge for charging?

Looks quite smart but that’s a rotten colour in my eyes anyway!

I have a major dislike of these “lifestyle” coupe style SUV’s. To me an SUV is a tool for lugging my dogs/grandkids/crap to the dump and doing a little towing with. The cut away rear leaves me short changed on internal space which would I suspect be deeply frustrating as an ownership proposition.

I'm not sold on the looks, especially the rear.

The loss of space in the boot will be made up for by the extra space in the frunk?!

With a Porsche card it works out around 71p. 31p for the electric and 40p per minute standing charge.

Thank you.

Not that cheap to charge at opc then!

Overall not too bad to look at. Taycan CT/ST are better looking imo. The rear could have been better, but i guess they are hampered by aerodynamics. I think its a bit too expensive, but ordered a Turbo. If I can get 300 miles real world use from 80-90% charge should be ok!

I've ordered one and will probably run it personally. Hopefully Ionity will get a move on and start installing more chargers across the country!!
