Good morning guys/ladies
Been lurking on here for a while trying to gain some knowledge, think it's worked.
I was originally after a 911 991.2 in lava orange, boy are those hard to find (I have seen a stunning GTS on here and would love it!!) but may have changed my mind to a Macan Gen2 turbo now to help get the parents around.
Me and the wife love Mamba Green, but these seem to be as rare as Lava orange is on the 911.
If anyone has one, or knows of one that might be coming up for sale, would appreciate a heads up.
Also really like carmine red but fancied a different colour after selling our RS6 last year.
Looking forward to Porsche ownership after having Audis for the last 16 years. Have seen a member on here who was also on the Audi forums, it was his posts that helped me make my mind up in getting a Porsche.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Dunc

Two non-Turbo Gen 2 Macans in Lava Green on Autotrader. Assume you've seen and discounted them
I too had Audis for 15 or so years, last was an RS4 in Suzuka Grey. I miss the sound and the looks (and with hindsight the semi-sensible service costs of the Audis) but the Macan rides and steers better than any of the Audis and its a very nice car to be in
Some chat on here (and not because I have one) that the GTS is more sporting than the Turbo in Gen 2 guise so you might want to consider a GTS? Digressing but I'm keen to try the Gen 2 vs Gen 1 GTS. My car has a 3.0 lump; the newer cars a 2.9 engine similar to the B9 RS4 and I thought the engine in the RS4 loaner I had was superb

Who did you know then.....
Probably a tricky one to find. It was launch colour so suspect some ordered it then but the turbo didn’t come out for some time after that so maybe it died off a bit?
I like it to be honest and have seen a Panny in that colour and it looks lovely.
Good luck !

Yeah, I've seen the ones on autotrader but really want want a Turbo or a GTS. I'm coming from a 500bhp RS6 so really want something that can try and fill that void.

I've seen Mamba on a Panny in the flesh also and it's a cracking colour. Reading through various Porsche owner sites there have been a few Mamba green Turbos, but as said before, it's a brave choice.
The prices on the Porsche network are all over the place, Wolverhampton have a 1 owner turbo at £89k!?
I specced one myself with silly options and it came to £83k.

It seems to work really well on this shape imo.
I just seem to like colours that most don't, like my Misano RS6.
Now, if the owner of the Lava orange 991.2 GTS on here decided he wanted to sell at a reasonable price, that would sort my problems out, parents would have to Uber around

Had a 2L Macan loaner in Mamba. Thought it looked liked the dog's dangly bits but decided it was not a colour I could live with long term.
IMHO it's only in a drag race that the Turbo out performs the GTS. On the road, the GTS suspension will win out. Presumably if you're not worried about warranty you could have a GTS remapped to match the Turbo output as it's basically the same engine.
