There are always power differences for a GTS, it just sits in the middle between 4S and Turbo. The Porsche formula is quite simple.
And then there is the Turbo S and GT and in 2-3 years with model mid cycle refresh everything starts from the beginning again.

So much nonsense in that “article”, from the picture of the ICE version to saying the GTS is the “sportiest” trim…
Agree. But I found this info interesting, if true:

Visually, the Macan GTS stands out with distinctive black details, redesigned front and rear bumpers, and 21-inch wheels. Buyers can choose from three new body colours — Crayon, Carmine Red, and Lugano Blue.

Inside, the cabin is finished in a mix of Race-Tex and black leather with body-coloured stitching. The digital cockpit and infotainment display adopt the signature GTS style.

Lugano Blue if confirmed as available for Macan GTS EV, would be an exciting color IMO.

Alcantara is faux suede too ! Whatever I don’t like too much of it , especially on the steering wheel. Personal choice I know!
There's always the option to swap with leather as per other GTS models.

Alcantara steering wheel is always a bit of a debate, I am sure you will find buyers looking for exactly that. It usually does not age as well and has quite a distinct feel.

Yes but why would you? Would potentially make resale difficult wouldn’t it?
A lot more common in the ICE Macan than any other model from my experience, but agree it’s sacrilege!

Main driver for me to look at my order for the EV is the cabin and experience (power and performance gap is likely to close more than ever).

Spent a lot of time in a taycan GTS and it’s an exceptional place to sit with the GTS interior pack.

I had x2 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo - exceptional interior and no suede in sight. Sadly very unreliable and both (first in particular) spent a lot of time in the garage with no loan cars and little help from Porsche GB and hopeless dealership.

I've always swapped on my GTS models.

Alcantara roof lining along with A and B pillars are fine though.

Typically the full GTS interior with either crayon or red stitching comes at a price premium.

Due to this this would explain additional colours of Carmine Red and Crayon.

No real impact on resale either as more folk view leather as the preferred / premium choice.

I’ve seen 911 GTS not selling quickly when missing faux suede.

During the Porsche weekend at Le Mans, I had the Turbo in my hands and the difference in performance didn't really strike me compared to my S... I imagine that the difference with the GTS will be really minimal.

I love mine, and I’ve had them in previous cars. I am lucky I don’t have greasy/oily hands, and if you wash the wheel now and then they are not as hard to maintain as many people think. Leather steering wheels do like to get a shIny look which I don’t find that nice either.

Carmine Red is currently not a metallic finish.
