We'd like to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video, remember to click here and get 50% off your first order: www.keeps.com/redline Also wanted to clarify what happened to the Macan with the CEL and oil pressure fault light. When we revved it up during that scene, we assume the computer did not like that and it lost communication of the oil pressure for a split second which threw a code and turned on the warning lights. It also put the car into a limp mode and wouldn't let the engine rev past 5000 RPM. It did tell us it was safe to drive though. We took it to our local Porsche dealer, they cleared the codes and it never came back on even after we revved it again.
I know that most people that buy/lease these are a few tax brackets higher, but I don't get how this is excusable at this point. $85k and they still have the nerve to charge you extra for it beyond that??
Interesting how they usually underestimate power and performance numbers when they are so given to hyperbole in their literature. GTS listed at 4.7 to 60 but probably a few tenths less. How do you think they can realistically turn this vehicle into an EV? I think I'll be out.
If Porsche says they have built the perfect ________, they're probably right It will cost you, but it might really be perfect Porsche has proven they can build any type of car to the nth degree.
Who needs Blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control when your in control of a rocket. it would be like putting turn signals on Falcon 9 rocket !!! The sound of that thing is just incredible, it was roaring thru my home theater speakers rumbling my 15" sub !!!!!
Beautiful videography and great music intro. Love the sound of this rev engine at 7:55, launch control at 18:05, and acceleration at 19:07. Your visceral expression is great. Best Macan video out there. Makes me want to buy one...with that 2.9L twin scoll turbo mounted in the vee for immediate throttle respond. No turbo lag. Great video
Good luck. I just did that but it took months to find one. Best bet may be to find a dealer with a build scheduled and order it. I wish you well with it, it is definitely worth the upgrade.
Hello, Porsche does offer Google earth, however requires SIM card. Buttons are no distraction, very quick to get use to and NO fingers prints like on newer Porsche models (Cayenne, Panamera). I wish they would keep the buttons when a new face lift comes.
My wife and I purchased at 2016 Porche Macan S in 2018 . Clean title. Very well maintained according to carfax. I absolutely loved everything about that vehicle including the comfort and absolutely the funnest vehicle I have ever driven. After 2 weeks the car started blowing oil out all over the side of the vehicle. The engine needed a rebuild. While it was under warranty it was going to be appx 1 month before the repairs would be completed due to the backlog of vehicles at the Porche service department. We convinced the sales lot to take the vehicle back and instead we picked up a 2016 Lexus RX 350. It’s sad really. The Macan drove better than anything I had ever driven. It’s Achilles heel is reliability. The Lexus prides itself in comfort however even in that category the Macan wins. So if the Macan had the reliability of a Lexus I would never own anything but Porche. But sadly it’s no where close to the reliability of a Lexus. We have had 0 issues with the Lexus so that’s what we have decided is the most important category. Reliability
@@thelarry383 take a look at the 2022 Lexus LQ. It appears that it will have a twin turbo 3.6 Liter V6 with about 416 HP. So it’s coming. Lexus takes their time however which possibly leads to the great reliability. Regardless I agree they should already have something out before now.
@@toddmullis8051 From what I read from Car and Driver, they're saying it's meant to replace the LX. It's going to share a platform with the LS. So in term of handling, I doubt it will be a match for a Cayenne, the AMG/M SUVs
If they go all electric, I think they will lose their customers for anyone who doesn't want to or can't make the switch. Hybrid version maybe a better compromise.
Well, any brand in particular... The all electric powertrains are near and people will have no choice but to buy it. It's not just Porsche, all brands loyal buyers will... If there is no gasoline. I do agree a hybrid is better, but it won't be like that for long probably... Electric is near in 3 to 4 years sadly 🙁...
Actually Porsche is working hard at developping a zero emission fuel that will be able to run in a regular combustion engine. With that, they will be able to keep producing petrol cars in the futur for the purists!
The Google Earth overlay is on the Macan but I think you have to be logged in on the car with the PCM to access it. I’ve got a 2020 Macan and had a 2019 Audi before it and the Porsche maps looks just as good if not better with the overlay!
I picked up my new GTS 6 days ago having previously owned an S. If you spec the GTS correctly it’s a great car and a big upgrade from the S. I went for Air Suspension, Vector Steering and ACC. All are fundamental if you are wanting the best practical drivers car.
I really dont get why would you get an EV in the US. Gas is cheap and you dont get taxed to mars like we do in europe. Id be driving v8s in US until I die bruh
I had the chance to rent a Macan GTS for a week and I was blown away by its performance, comfort, road presence and exhaust! Especially when the valves are open 😍😍
Torque Vectoring is optional, and the last generation GTS was a bi-turbo. If yours had the premium plus pkg it would have LCA automatically included. Someone would have to specifically remove that when configuring that vehicle, and it would have deselected the P+pkg and given the chooser individually selectable options at that point.
I like the 3.0L engine more than the 2.9L. 3.0L is more a Porsche engine. 2.9L is an Audi engine. Audi engines don’t have longevity. I want a 2018 GTS for this very reason.
That launch, my goodness, that was brutal~ It just took off omg. I will say that probably Porsche and Mercedes-AMG have some of the best launch control systems ever, but Porsche I think wins for having just a lot more brutal of a launch control.
Hi, I noticed the darker window glass in the back, did that car have the insulated thurmal & noise option? Also, what did you think of the ride comfort going over bumps and broken pavement in normal mode? Loved your video, Rich
Just a slight correction, those aren’t all weather lights, that was the switch for the rear fog lamp, not seen on many cars and widely used incorrectly. Fog light symbol points to left: front fog/all weather lamp. Fog light symbol points right: rear fog lamp.
I really don't get it, everyone who reviews the Macan always complains about small cargo room....HELLO, this is why it's not a Cayenne and not everyone needs a station wagon sized vehicle. This is why the Macan was perfect for us, we don't want an aircraft carrier in our Porsche, I have pickups just for that. The room is plenty for passengers in the back under 6ft. and not every soccer mom wants 9 kids worth of stuff to shuttle around. It's time to break out and realize having a Porsche is not wanting to drive a turbo school bus.
I agree the blind spot is a must and also the emergency braking that only comes with the adaptive cruise control is a must.. ( Porsche active Safe) it was shocking coming from a Lexus that had emergency braking standard.
Completely agree--if youre going to go for an S, just go for the GTS. To spec an S similarly to a GTS, you're spending the same, and you don't get the same power. This is the one to get
If your going for the base, you might as well go with the S, if your going with the S, you might as well go for the GTS. Heck, if your going for the GTS, why not go all the way for the turbo.
Big price difference with the turbo and not much additional power, GTS is the sweetest spot, also for some reason turbo doesn’t come with air suspension included, GTS does.
I don't care for Apple car play OR wireless charging. I plug my phone in for charging and the radio sees it as an ipod. I also use Amazon Music for tunes.
Nice car. Reviews of interesting cars are fun to watch. If I see another KIA review I just doze off..... BTW, People shouldn't be making comments about your hair. Be happy with who you are.
I have this 2021 GTS, also in mamba green. Finally did launch control this weekend (after break-in period) and it made me motion sick, it was so violent. Guess I'm getting too old for such acceleration :(
So something to save lives........the vehicle safety tech you have to pay extra for, but something that can take lives........a smokers package is free. 🧐🧐
