Nice to look at but, like you, don’t think I could buy one sparkmacan. Mind you, that would be near top of the Good Lady’s colour choice - better not take her to Glasgow! 😂

I think it looks awesome! And being the owner of a bright yellow car already, I would happily buy a Python Green Macan.

I think Porsche know it’ll be in demand, hence only making the colour available with a pricey ‘pack’.

If I were to order a new Macan today, I think it’d be an S (very similar to Gen II GTS in many ways) in Carmine Red. :)

718 or 911 gt, yes. Macan, no. If green it has to be a dark metallic green on a macan

I have a hunch that Python Green Macans will hold their value pretty well, and maintain their ‘price premium’ over monochrome Macans... Let’s see... ;) :geek:

Completely agree, it’s what the GTS should always have been given they only tweaked the same engine.

It takes a special person to own and drive a car the colour if which slaps you about the face.

Not sure about it holding its value, when I saw a Mambo green in an OPC the SE did say that they would have trouble selling in on if it came back as a trade in.

For me it is way better than Carmine which to me always looks a dirty shade of red, the bright Audi Misano red would have been a good choice for a Macan.

Green and brown are the least popular colours for second hand cars. Ask any dealer.

It's a brave colour, and as a past owner of Racing Yellow, these colours are both attractive to those who wouldn't ever buy one, and difficult to resell as a result. I love 'brave' colours, but I think even I would struggle with all that green. It's very much a 'Florida car' where it looks great on the strip, but crap in Tesco's car park in November.
Best, Ade

It’s a Marmite colour, I think you need to love it more than just like it. Maybe would look odd in Tesco car park but be okay in ASDA as it matches their Logo 😂🤐
