A well specced gts will be touching £90k by the sound of it?
That's way too much. ~ £75k
A gts is that now if you dont go mad, with the expected hike of £8k it will be close.

To blow £90K I think you’d have to go pretty mad and tick every box. For me, I’m hoping to keep mine at £70K. Some cheap essentials like heated steering wheel, quick clear screen, privacy, reverse camera, plus chrono and a pan roof. It’s got air suspension and sport exhaust/seats as standard anyway I understand. So, that gives me Turbo power, better handling and a liveable spec all for the price of a basic Macan 2 Turbo…..

Anyone heard any more news on the facelift?

I have seen shots of the electric one and the centre console looks huge with the drivers leg pressed right up against it. Test driving the outgoing model it only just had enough room for my left leg (sit weirdly due to and injury, not built like a tank).

Nope and still waiting for the configurator to be updated. I suppose there are still 12 days left in July!

And yet there has been a change to the configurator (maybe not intentional though?) as Mama Green disappeared from the available colour option for the S about 2 months ago, but still shows for the Turbo...?

I'd heard today was the big unveiling, but nothing so far.

Looking at the PH lead article there seems to be a much wider price gap between the standard and the S than there was previously. It has gone from approx £2.5k to around £6k.

Will be interesting to see if there's any additional equipment (other than wheel size) to explain the increased difference. Edit - I note the S gets PASM as standard.

I spec-ed my pre facelift GTS to £68k.

This new one starts at over £64k. Hope that includes a lot of the kit as standard. There’s also a pack available which includes some of the options in my original config. Looks like I’d need to spec that too.

Love the new nip/tuck look and Papaya is stunning as are the new wheels. Though doubt I’d be brave enough.

Configurator still not updated yet.

Configurator up. Got to £70k without finishing, ran out of time, looks like I'll be adding all the same stuff and it'll be well into 70s.

Not sure about big black plastic front on GTS. May have to check an S against it later, only reason we went for GTS is with our options on an S it was barely much more. This looks lots more.


Still have consideration of big centre console. It looks sculpted for legs but chunky still.

Loaded my old £67k pre facelift GTS config and retained options. Took price to over £72k.

Going to start from scratch to see if I can get that down.

If not, hoping GFV has gone up proportionately.

Well, still hovering around £74k with GTS Sports package, slightly less without. Forced into Python green interior and poor selection of exterior colours. Now up to £77k, £10k more than before. Madness. Stick with the Emira.

Anyone else notice factory collection available? Or has it always been there?

Because it's a Porsche and they can......why does Python Green cost over £7k???? Same answer.....

Yep, probably why the 19" wheel option for the S has now gone and you can only have ghastly blingly 20" ones, and plus the reduction on interior colour choices with removal of the high grade leather option, and I think I'm out.
For me though, an S close to spec of a one I did an online build on back in Jan this year is hardly any more expensive.

I also wondered if leather steering column is now standard on extended leather option on the S as its not listed as an option anymore if you tick extended leather, and it was before.

The Paypaya Orange would have been great had they kept the Expresso leather option....... furious

Oh well.......looks like I'll be keeping what I have now until it dies, no more car change for me.

Being purely selfish I'm just pleased that Shark Blue isn't an option on the face lift as I'm not ready to get out of my Voodoo Blue Macan just yet. I checked the Shark sample plate against mine at my local OPC last week and while I think Shark is a bit lighter it is very similar.

iPhone picture doesn't show much difference.

For me the darker colours work better on the car and also help not to highlight the contrast with the big black front “mouth”. Re pricing, I actually think a relatively lightly optioned GTS is not a bad deal V the outgoing Turbo. Similar price with some creature comforts plus I suspect it will dynamically be better

Looks like an S with options we want would be a~£4k price rise.

We actually put a deposit (i.e. no commitment pre-order) on a GTS as that was only a couple of thousand more pre-facelift. That GTS has a price rise of ~£3.5k but with the options we now think we want it's a £72k car. IMHO it isn't a £72k car.

Car prices are irrelevant because of pcp,s
Its definitely £25k better than a Kia or Golf?
