Gen 2 GTS and Turbo are the same but lower ratio from memory at 35 mph per 1000. Somewhere on this computer, I stored the 7 gear ratios as mph per 1000 revs for all three Gen 2 models. the lower ratios for all three models where the same but due to lower 7th gearing the higher gears were closer in GTS and Turbo than S.

I have not seen figures for Gen 3 S and GTS but I suspect they maybe same as the Gen 2 cars but could be tweaked which might partly explain acceleration figure changes or not. There is still a lot of details we do know about the Gen 3 cars
Sorry to resurrect this old thread PMG, but did you find a source for the gear speed figures? I've been googling for ages with no luck.

I find this website very useful for lots of vehicle data and is where i got the figures from.

https://www.automobile-catalog.com/

it takes some time to find the way round it but there is a lot of info

here are the pages for Model year 2022 macans - all have top gear of around 35.6 mph per 1000 revs

There's a bloody great rev counter front and centre and at 4,000 revs in any gear you be near as damn it flying! Keeping it under 4,000 rpm is not really a problem.

Would anybody disagree?

4000 rpm equates to

1st 23

2nd 36

3rd 55

4th 78

5th 99

6th 124

7th 149

this for 'original' S. 'Porsche' engine - can't find any info for later 'Audi' engine. I don/t believe the transmission has changed though.....

Auto Catalog suggests they did

2019/2020 S then 2019/2020 GTS and 2022 S

1st 20 20

2nd 34.4 34.4

3rd 55 52

4th 76 72

5th 100 94

6th 129 118

7th 158 143


basically 6 the and 7th are slightly higher 2019 S and lower in 2.9 litre cars with some tweaks at lower gears

Yes I don't think there is a retractable wing option on the Macan.

Obviously irony doesn't translate very well on this forum. ;)

I do think some of the extra performance of the 2.9 lit Audi engines love the 3.0 2019/20 S engine comes from lower gearing as much as extra torque/ power
