Good evening,

I had to go back to page 50 in the introductions section to find my first post on here.. 9.5 years ago.. when I had just ordered my very first Porsche Macan S.. I haven't been on here for a long time, having sampled a range of Italian stuff, and then coming back full circle to Porsche. I needed a daily and since my kids are older and don't need child seats or buggies, Cayenne's are no longer necessary. Always loved the agility of the Macan and purchased a 2020 Macan Turbo in Volcano grey with just 9k miles from OPC South Lakes. 4th year service included. I had looked at the BMW 550i, but potential reliability issues and poor residuals put me off.

I look forward to re-engaging with this forum once again.

Cheers,

Cowan

Cheers Jon, will do! I was going to add the spec code for the GT3 touring, but the configurator doesn't do the colour justice in the slightest.. It'll be a 1 of 1 in the UK (apparently), but I fully intend to use it properly, as I have all my cars in the past (put 5k on my last Huracan EVO rwd in just over a year).. The colour will be PTS Anthracite brown metallic, Neodyme coloured wheels and Exclusive manufacture Cohiba brown interior with 18 way seats. The configurator makes it look too brown. In sunlight it's almost agate grey with a mokka fleck, but the finish is almost liquid in appearance.

Sounds fantastic! I must admit I’m a big fan of the cognac/black interior myself but looking forward to seeing yours. A pal of mine (First Sea Lord on here) has a touring in agate with the darker yellow stitching on black from memory but either way it’s a wonderful motor.
The only comment he might make is how comfortable it may or may not be on UK roads to put any reasonable mileage on, but that may be subjective and I’ll let him tell you about it 👍

Sounds like a good buy and looks remarkably similar to my (departed) 2020 S, just with a wheel upgrade!

Haven’t got a clue.... I think it’s a reflection. Didn’t notice it until you mentioned it 😄
