Differences between 4S and Turbo - other than cosmetic and the rear motor?

The Turbo doesn't feel heavy.

I didn't know the turbo hides its weight better in the turns. *eyeroll*

hard to believe a lot of the statements here. first: how can it be that people can afford to buy a porsche and not know that the weight of the battery makes every EV heavier. second: i come from the ICE macan turbo (drove 150.000 km) the new macan turbo EV with rear axle steering does not feel heavy.

I knew it was a heavy car going in, but I only had a demo for a few days and since it's not my car I didn't push it. With my own car I push it a lot harder, and I can def feel the weight, despite it having a low center of gravity. It's all relative of course, I'm just comparing driving dynamics of the EV vs the gas Macan. Let's not talk comparisons with other cars, pointless.

And here I was looking forward to shedding 400 pounds moving from an iX

i think "weight" may be all in the suspsension settings you have. The normal is pretty soft... Sport is stiffer, but still soft enough to not notice bumps. Meaning if you really turn, the body is still gonna roll.
Sport Plus is where the dampers are stiff and really start to resemble gas shocks typical of sporty ICE cars.
I don't think the Macan feels heavy, but I do think its not as "cupping" in the cockpit and seating position as other cars like the Taycan. That bitch is on the ground!

so something else I noticed in the video posted from another thread on here... This could be another differentiator between models... It appears they use different lights for the parking lights

one is led, the other is matrix led (standard on turbo)

Matrix LED is not standard on the Turbo in all markets. In the USA it’s an option, so you wind up paying extra for something that doesn’t have the full functionality it has in other markets.

the matrix has to do with the Headlights.... not the parking lights right?

for clarity, i see what you're talkin about. the differences in the headlights...But i'm speaking of the parking lights. 4 bars.

select matrix in the configurator, you’ll see the 4 bars (DRL) change.

The 4 bars are Daytime Running Lights (DRL), not parking lights.

The DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) are the parking lights only lit depending where you have left the indicator stalk - right or left.

DRLs are the side lights when ignition is off and indicator not left on rhd or lhd turning position.

ooooooooh i see.
So stand headlights to any HD option, take the DRL's from 4 bars to 8...i hadn't noticed.
