Great build with lots of performance options and Burmester to boot! Congrats.

Last 'rumor' i remember reading on ceramic brakes is that they would be available to order in October.

Congratulations on the beautiful build, Casper! Based on the reviews, people have been gushing about how exceptional the Macan is from the handling and drive to the looks and build quality. The Turbo in particular will be bombastic to drive and I feel like you'll enjoy the tighter dynamics of this awesome ride.

I've heard, read and been told that Porsche booked every Macan allocation for this year so anyone who orders one now won't get their car until next year. If you're lucky, you may be able to score a delivery anytime between June and August.

Good luck! Exciting times lie ahead.

I'm not sure where you are located but it's best to visit your local dealer and the sooner the better as I believe many in the US still have June or July and beyond build dates available. But my guess (for whatever that is worth ) is that once the road tests start hitting the news stands etc that those will disappear quickly.

Seeing you are a current Cayenne owner I'm sure they'll be happy to work with ya!

Just curious, why not keep the C'Turbo?

The Macan is nice but not that much smaller (I think 6" inches shorter).

If I didn't have a Porsche SUV, I would choose the Macan over anything but Cayenne Turbo/GTS Both the C'Turbo/GTS looks aggressive and better proportioned than the Macan. I'd definitely choose the Macan Turbo over the Cayenne Base and S.

As the old saying goes, 'It's not the size, but how you use it, that counts.'
