Having drive the first and owned the second Iād say both are awesome but the GTS pips the turbo feeling practically nailed to the road.
Still in our road trip in Scotland and loving every minute in the car. Pops and bangs galore.
One of our friends up here has a Tesla and you should see his face when we start up!!!!!!!

Hi FSL,
A great real world comparison. Thanks for sharing.
As for the Ackermann Effect, I only experience this with my summer tyres in cooler weather, so maybe your first 400 or so miles, in warm/hot weather are unlikely to create the effect, in either your previous Turbo or your new GTS?
Cheers,

You're more expert than me, Simon.
Haven't experienced it just lately. Was out in it on Saturday for the first time in some time, as have been driving the Boxster in this fine weather. But we have a long drive through France soon, and I think the Macan's comfort will win vs Boxster hood down opportunity.
Nice to have the choice, which I haven't ever had up until very recently.

A Boxster and a Macan GTS. What a great combo!
Enjoy!
