My New 4S

[DuckMan]

Nice! Would have done an S but they were not announced after we had our build frozen. Looks great!

Very nice, looks like the same as my config, but I keep waffling on color. I'm also thinking STD chrome window surrounds.

I too was waffling about color prior to placing my order and was disappointed that there were no red or yellow exterior options. The Gentian blue looks great in person, however I had a blue Tesla for the past several years and watched a change.

Black looks awesome but only when it’s clean, so I decided on the sophisticated-looking Volcano Gray after seeing it on a Panamera.

The window surround color is a personal preference but I think it blends much better in the high gloss black. That being said, I saved a few dollars by going with the standard side blades and silver badges which looked okay in the photos I’ve seen.

Looks awesome and big congrats. VG was actually my original colour! However, after lots of dark grey cars and currently on X5 I changed at last minute to Ice Grey. Your spec is very similar to mine and hoping for delivery in the UK pre Christmas
The wheels look good too... This was something I was a bit worried about... Enjoy driving and any feedback on speed will be great to read

The 2 dealers in the Boston area must have 20 Macan EVs on the lot, some sold. 15 of them are Volcano. Maybe I should be different That Aventurine Green looks great in most lighting. My Mini SE is arctic silver which is about the same as the ice grey, looks white. Wife says she doesn't like white or black. So I was thinking Dolomite with its hint of blue. But then I get drawn back to Volcano which may be the best compromise for me. I like the Fountain Blue but that is a 10+K paint option.

I wish I had changed the silver electric logo, makes it a target. However, everything else is good to go with standard blades, etc.

You can DIY a logo swap for a couple hundred bucks as soon as Suncoast has the part. It's very easy. Or take 3 minutes and remove it.

If I had gotten the white, blue or black exterior then I would have opted for the black logos. I thought the silver logos blended okay with Volcano Grey so I didn’t bother paying for the option. I did opt for the black window frames on my 4S (which were standard on the 4).

Yeah, I checked the Macan EV inventory in Charlotte and Volcano Grey is by far the most common color here as well. Good thing I got the red seatbelts and compass dial to stand out from the rest!

Picked up my 4s at November 7th.
I've taken very short trips so far. I hope to do something longer in the coming weeks.

My Macan:
Volcano Grey Metallic with Exterior mirrors, Door release levers and Sideblades painted in Black

20-inch Macan S Wheels
Leather Package in Black
Comfort Seats front (14-way)
Panoramic roof system
Rear-Axle Steering
Adaptive air suspension
Matrix LED Headlights
Privacy glass
Surround View incl. Active Parking Support
Porsche InnoDrive with Active Lane Keeping

First little experience:
For reference, my last car was a BMW 530e.

On the uneven streets of my city, the car shows itself very well.
The rear axle steering really makes a difference. I can make much tighter turns
On the highway the innodrive system is really fantastic. Although it still had very few km, I drove a section of highway with it running and it behaved very well, both when cornering and keeping its distance from the car in front.

Sorry I don't have much feedback yet... Not much time to enjoy it yet.

Congratulations ! Muitos Parabéns e muitas felicidades com a nova máquina !
your car is just amazing and hope you are enjoying it.
please keep sharing with us your experience!

Are the red break calipers exclusive to the 4S and Turbo models?

Yes, and presumably will be in the GTS as well when introduced. This is a historic Porsche tradition.

I watched a YouTube review recently on the Turbo and the car had papaya
orange calipers to match the bodywork. I can’t recall seeing this option in the configurator.

I watched the same video, I think it was Autotrader. I was very curious about that, but I believe that it was some kind of filter that they used in the video, because there are a few scenes where the calipers were red in the turbo they were reviewing. They were just brief scenes, but it was definitely in the video.
Porsche themselves don’t offer that service or option unless you are ordering a car in the special bespoke program that they have which offers full customization and there is a wait list for that program many years long and only available to special customers and typically for very special limited edition cars.

Here is the video that I saw, it is time stamped to start at 4:56 and starts showing the calipers in a "matching color" and then transitions to a scene where the calipers are red. Figured it was a video filter, but who knows.

Did you test drive Turbo or Macan 4 before 4S - do you (or anyone) have any comparison regarding performance? Does 4S feel more like 4 or Turbo?

 

[krissrock]

Calipers are red. The s and Turbo have red calipers, and others have black calipers iirc
