Hi all -

I consider you all as experts and happy Macan owners.
I'm close to placing order for my Macan 4S - and just had some sleepless nights in making final configuration.

I want to configure a black beaty..... black inside and black outside....
Nevertheless I have some choices to make, and would appreciate your insights and recommendations -
In order to get a black outside, black inside....

Main questions I'm hesitaing on :

*) Wheels
22" RS Spyder wheels :
Jet Black or High Gloss black or Satin Black
*) Sideblades
Jet Black or High Gloss black
*) Matrix headlight
Tinted or not
*) Taillight
Tinted or not
*) Sidemirrors
Painted or not ?

Any help welcome....
And furthermore -

What options are must ?
I have choosen :
-) partial leather
-) RS 22 wheels
-) Sport seats
-) Seat ventilation
-) panoramic roof
-) roof rails
-) PASM
-) HUD
-) Innodrive
-) Chronopack
-) Electric Sound
-) Power Steering
-) Privacy glass

Anything missing ??? Recommendations.
I'm still hesitating about :
-) Rear axle steering
-) Torque vectoring

All ideas from you owners/experts is welcome.

Thanks in advance

I'm still think
Many have already weighed in so I will just say if you’re going for a 4S then you’re edging to the performance end of the trim option. I have rear axle steering on my M4 and 😍 love it. Also wish I could have had the option to get torque vectoring but you can with the S trim. Both help with stability, handling and maneuverability. That, I think is why you buy a Porsche over other brands. So I would prioritize those over cosmetics.

Tints or gloss changes will likely not change the look significantly so any choice will be fine as long as you’re consistent as part shiny mixed with part Matt would be odd in many cases.

-) Innodrive

Definitely get if you do long trips.

-) Chronopack

Definitely get if you want sport mode+ (though maybe this is standard in S) and it looks weird without something there.

-) Electric Sound

Definitely get because it is stupid but super fun and sounds great.

-) HUD

I'm not a fan because how it looks on the dash, makes it bigger, with a hole. I'm fine without.

-) Rear axle steering

I'm in the don't need camp. It is a nice to have but it seems to add more complication for some steering enhancements.

-) Sideblades

For your config all black I really like the painted.

Just some thoughts... they may not be correct.

Cheers!

Hi all -

thanks for your tips, ideas, reflections,...
Last weekend made a final rest drive, and have ordered my new Macan.
Following configuration.

https://porsche-code.com/PSWPEUS9

Car is scheduled to be delivered beginning of June in Belgium, and I'm looking forward to it.
I still have some weeks to modify the configuration - and as always I'm hesitating about the blackened front matrix light (I now have std matrix front light) and the blackened rear lights.
But as always, are those added value or not ?
Any suggestions.

Thierry

Any suggestions ?
Welcome.
Was this your final build? It looks solid although I would recommend the rear axle steering If you're not locked down yet.

This one is pretty loaded now and dialed in with colors, however:

- Have you tried a comparable Turbo build since you are up there in price for your build
- Rear Axle Steering is not selected
- Full Leather is not selected
- Headlights in Black add very minimal black surrounds with no additional functions

I would also recommend the full leather. The look and feel is quite different and worth it for such a car.

I would rather skip on a few cosmetic extras (coloured mirrors or black front/backlights) if you’re on a budget. But of course subjective.
