And...??.

3.0 petrol & diesel.
First deliveries in April.
No 4 cyl for now.
3rd petrol model (not 4cyl) may follow soon after launch, or even at launch.

Dropping the v8 in from the cayenne gts would be awesome

No, too heavy!! Turbo-charged V6 will be fine!

[Fezzaman]

I heard from one OPC that UK launch will be next April, 3 models available - Macan S petrol + diesel, and the Turbo. 4 Cyl petrol and diesel to follow perhaps 6mths later. To be PDK only. Any know anything else/different?

[red_slr]

So far I heard its:

3.0 Diesel
3.6 Petrol Turbo
TBA Turbo

First thought was mac'n'cheese, as the yanks like to call their favourite pasta dish. Is it a concidence that the OP is called ChipsAndCheese?

Can I ask peoples who have pre ordered non lunched porsches before what is the process?
Will my local dealer put me on the list & what sort of deposit have you been putting down, also when it is lunched and you dont like it can you get your deposit back?

I could ask sales man but would rather get real live examples

With my Cayman, I had to write a letter of intent....no money changed hands.

Next was a deposit on the actual day of launch.

Next.....the long wait from November last years until April this year!!! That was the hard part!

The letter of intent doesn't get you a place in the queue though, does it? I thought it was actually paying the deposit that did that?

LOI gets you a position in the queue. Deposit fixes it.

How dissapointing. Very lazy design with nothing interesting at all. Poor.

Of course it is. It's a SUV!

They should make a four seat 911 with room for luggage and please everyone!

Exactly, your dealer should offer customers with LOI a car before anyone else.
Put my LOI in about 12 months ago, so I am hoping to get one of the first cars.

As for the looks, I think its the back end that will be different - as they are still keeping it covered.
I expect this to be the case right up until November.

Web says £36K starting price.

if you go Diesel auto, then a evoque, Q5 or even VW tiguan all cost that. Am I missing something or is £36K not to bad.

Plus minimum 10k on 'essential' options...?!

[Paul O]

I really like the look of these, if £36k gets one with an auto gearbox I'd be hugely tempted. It'll probably have a years waiting list though.
