The New Porsche Macan GTS Is Truly as Fast As Most Sport Sedans in the Canyons - Two Takes

The Porsche Macan has been, for the last six years, the gold standard of luxury crossovers. Now, for 2022, the redesigned Macan and it's top-trim GTS are raising the bar. With a hot, twin-turbo V6 carried over from the previous Macan Turbo (which no longer exists), plus a host of driver-centric features, lightweight GT-style wheels, excellent brakes and sticky Pirelli Corsa tires, the new GTS model proves that in the canyons, you don't need a sport sedan anymore. The Macan GTS is fast, capable, comfortable, but most importantly, hilarious fun to hustle up a windy road. Matt and Zack demonstrate.

    The "GTS sport package" (not to be confused with the GTS trim) is actually only available with white black silver and grey (both light and dark grey) cars (and green), so no you can't get a yellow car with green stiching and is ALWAYS the python green interior. That said, you can get all the good options (torque vectoring, sports chrono) and have other colored interiors. The GTS sport package comes with the satin black wheels, but if you don't want the sport package you can get the same wheels, just with gloss black instead of satin black. The sport package is just a way of very quickly visually identifying which cars have all the "necessary" options. You can still get a GTS trim and spec it up like the old turbo (more luxury oriented such as raised air suspension and full leather interior)

Yes, yes, you could buy a WRX and a base Vette or some other combo, but if you just want one vehicle that does it all in any weather, I think the GTS is the one to beat.

Got it for a weekend car to replace my 987 Cayman S (which is getting old and I'd rather sell it before shit starts breaking or the value really tanks), but aside from the Supra being a big snug it's surprisingly great to daily drive so I've been doing that. But my primary is supposed to be an Ecoboost Mustang which has pretty much just been sitting since I got the Supra. Think I'm going to sell the Ecoboost along with the Cayman. The Ecoboosts are worth more now than when I bought it because of the chip shortage. Need to clear out some driveway space for when Chevy gets their supply chain shit together and I can get a C8 for a fair price. Then I can have 2 cars which both have no room in them and then be completely boned or take my 20 year old musky Tundra if I need a back seat, lol. So yea, way more info than you wanted, but I myself am confused as to what my primary car is. Think I'm mid-transition from an Ecoboost daily/987 S weekender to a Supra daily/C8 weekender. The car I was referencing bringing to the dealership is the 987 S. The Macans are their default loaner car, and they're very enjoyable to drive.

    My first Porsche is a 2019 Macan S. I cannot believe how well it drives. My prior car was a 2019 Audi A4 Quattro S Line with the sport suspension. The Macan drives so much better which is mind boggling to me. I use to own a 2006 Subaru STi and while that car was obviously faster, the Macan feels so much better to drive. The only other car I've owned that had a comparable driving feel or experience was a 2004 VW R32 coupe. Unfortunately the one bought was in bad shape so I had it for a short amount of time. I had been chasing that driving experience for a long time now. I've found it again and have it in a crossover of all things. It's great because I can have a car to pick up my kid, drive my family comfortably and occasionally have a fun drive myself. It's a great daily driver and accessible for most people. I cannot recommend it enough.

    Жыл бұрын

    @Mark McGrath Yes, which seems very unlikely, but it's true. I drove A4s for 10 years so I was very familiar with them and the Macan drives so much better. There's no body roll, very neutral feeling, the PDK is almost telepathic in Sport mode and no understeer to be found. I drove a base Macan recently and I wouldn't trade my old A4 for a base Macan. The handling characteristics were still there, but it was a touch underpowered given the extra weight. The Macan S was a significant step up in driving feel even though it's higher up. Now maybe someone driving an S4 may feel like a Macan S is a sidegrade or downgrade. I was personally ready to try something different after 10 years of driving the same car. I could have dropped an APR tune on the A4 for more power, but it still wouldn't have driven nearly as well. No regrets making the switch.

    Great review. Would love to drive this back to back with my 2018 Macan Turbo Performance Package. It looks like the recalibrated suspension on the 2022 GTS has a leg up, but on the flip side, I think the 3.6l engine in the old Macan Turbo has some more grunt and also more torque (for the PP model) than this new GTS. Thoughts?

    Couple of things: no, those are not the spyder wheels on the car, those are the GT wheels. And yes, python green stitching is the standard when choosing the large GTS interior package (includes the options from the premium package). But there is also a GTS interior leather package for chalk, red, and black stitching.

    The S and GTS have different engines. The S has the shared engine from the Audi S5 (3.0 V6 single turbo) and the GTS gets the shared engine from the Audi RS5 (2.9 V6 twin turbo). There are also differences in suspension tuning and setup, the GTS is stiffer, has different calibration the dampers, different springs, different bump stops. The vehicle also has torque vectoring as an option.

After this second "facelift" for the Macan, the GTS now is the new Macan top model. You should just inform yourself a bit better, before you are claiming some stupid things.
