Porsche Macan Forums

Hello all

I am spec’ing my Macan S and love/ hate the option universe.

See link

My questions:

1) pebble grey extended leather vs black with deviated stitching
£1k price difference but i actually love the pebble grey. makes the inside seem so airy and light. But…will it lose its sheen/ look more quickly? (i have no kids or pets).

2) have gone with the aluminium interior trim - is it actually too shiny/ look too cheap? Not keen on spending even more but…is the carbon trim worth it?

3) have ‘de chromed’ and gone with black roof rails, exhaust - is it too ‘black’? Does chrome make it look more like an estate car?

4) Is PVTC worth it? does it dampen body roll around corners?

5) seat belts in red or leave as black or pebble grey?

Thank you for any and all comments!

Very nice spec. I would go for the red belts to complement the dials and calipers. Plus 18" spare wheel

I have the pebble grey interior which I still love - I think it looks stunning.

It is still looking fresh and new. I have had a couple of blue marks from jeans (which cleaned off) but nothing else. I have no small children or pets.

IMO: pebble grey and pebble grey seat belts and I think the aluminium would be too much and no contrast with pebble grey, I would go darker with trim if going pebble grey.

£17k is a lot of options to add to an S.

I would suggest that a GTS would be a better choice, primarily because it will have a lot of your options as standard.

GTS is the sweet handling variant so that is all you will need unless you intend to track it.

£8-£12k is generally a more realistic range to try to keep within unless the car is a long term keeper.

Thanks. You’re right! maybe red seat belts and either the carbon or pb door trim could be an option

I completely agree. It’s a timing issue though. I can get the s hopefully by august bs the gts likely mid 2023. Maybe i should just wait..

love the red seat belts - wasn’t sure if it would look too boy racer. But i’m leaning towards them again…

Welcome to the forum.

Specification should really be your choice as you have to live with the car but, seeing you asked:

1) pebble grey extended leather vs black with deviated stitching
£1k price difference but i actually love the pebble grey. makes the inside seem so airy and light. But…will it lose its sheen/ look more quickly? (i have no kids or pets).

I had the Pebble Grey/Agate Grey on my Macan SD and loved it. I'm sure the black/pebble will look even better. The Pebble Grey lasted well over the five years I had the car with just the occasional wipe with a leather wipe keeping it clean.

2) have gone with the aluminium interior trim - is it actually too shiny/ look too cheap? Not keen on spending even more but…is the carbon trim worth it?

I had the carbon interior and thought it worth every penny.

3) have ‘de chromed’ and gone with black roof rails, exhaust - is it too ‘black’? Does chrome make it look more like an estate car?

This is a matter of opinion. I stuck with silver but then my SD was Sapphire not Night Blue.

4) Is PVTC worth it? does it dampen body roll around corners?

Waste of money unless you plan on taking your SUV on regular track days.

5) seat belts in red or leave as black or pebble grey?

I went for pebble grey. Can't think why you'd want red but then I don't see why you've gone for a red compass dial either.

Thanks Peter. Very helpful.

The red dial was an ode my disappearing youth. A splash of rebellion and protest…:)
