Hi all! I placed my Macan order last week with this configuration:
https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRMSJ371 Should be here in Finland around December.

Am I the only one here ordering Copper Ruby Metallic? For me it looks great in configurator and video like this - but I haven't seen the color in real life. I'm not sure how it looks like in dark rainy day... I still have 3 weeks to change my mind ;) Any comments?

I actually saw this color in the dealer's garage. Maybe this gives an impression without sun.

Happy to see several other 4S orders in Volcano Grey! Here’s the build I plan to order next week. (I saw the Arctic blue seat belts at the Atlanta PEC last weekend and decided to go for it.)
https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSHVLFH8

On the fence if I should add the $960 leather package (since it doesn’t add much leather) and change the standard side blades to be painted in exterior color or high gloss black.

4S in Volcano Grey
20” Macan S wheels with colored caps
Standard black interior
Arctic blue seat belts
14-way comfort seats with massage
Compass display on dashboard
Window trim in high gloss black
Illuminated door sills in aluminum
Under door puddle light projectors
Premium package with Bose sound
Trailer hitch (for bike rack)
InnoDrive with ALK
Dashcam prep
115v power socket

Thanks Dutch! This definitely looks a bit different than configurator images. It's a classic color but I'm not completely sure if it fits with all the plastic parts...

bbmertz, re your post above: β€œOn the fence if I should add the $960 leather package (since it doesn’t add much leather…”

The wonderful thing about each of us configuring our cars differently is that we each make the final decisions and judgments. MY perception is that the extra leather is very much worth it. Guessing you would not have posted that sentence if you were not asking for others’ perceptions.

This to me is a heck of a lot of leather and also is the leather most closely located next to our bodies…

Fun TC, I appreciate your response since I am looking for suggestions.

What’s confusing about the leather package is that the standard interior includes many of the same items in leather, so I’m not sure it’s worth the additional $960 (see image below).

As far as I can tell, the only two added leather items are:
- Steering wheel airbag module
- Center console surround

In addition, the leather package changes the following two items from embossed leather to smooth-finish leather:
- Center console armrest
- Door panel armrests and grab handles

Thank you for pointing it out. I would head over to my Porsche dealer with this material you have gathered in handand ask them to clarify the seeming inconsistencies (other than we know that embossed is textured and smooth is not). Any Porsche leather specialists here who could assist us please?

@bbmertz / @Fun TC Driving - posts #62 through 64 on this thread (just a couple pages back) touched on the leather package vs full leather.

Alas not been able to get definitive answers - but on the plus side, in just a month the first Macans will be out. Hopefully will be easier then!

On a different note, what does everyone think about side blade options on a Volcano Gray Macan?

While most threads seem to recommend exterior color side blades, many think that the standard blades blend okay with dark exterior colors (particularly VC) avoiding the need to shell out another $680 for the painted option.

My vote goes to body color.

And if you want to avoid the extra $680 for this option, upgrade to the Turbo: body color side blades are free on that trim. πŸ™ƒ

+1 for body colour (ordered per my spec) - but agree it depends on the exterior colour chosen and/or the β€˜look’ you’re going for (eg B&W β€˜Panda’ contrast).

For me, I just went for the off-road package as that β€˜solved’ the problem for me, came with some other body painted front/rear bits added the roof rails (something that I just wanted blatantly just for looks).πŸ˜†

Porsche’s configurator is one of the best in the market for good reason - inherently adept at making us spend more $$$ and making them an absolute mint at the same time.

I'm considering to change my configuration to Offroad setup, suiting my outdoors-oriented lifestyle and local winter conditions better https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSY4ZUY4.

Does anyone have information on how Offroad package and rims impact range? Obviously they don't look as aerodynamic as default setup.

Any opinions on how Slate Grey Neo would work with Vesuvius Grey rims and default side blades in real life?

Dont really like the 21 offroad wheels. Two different greys could be a problem - unless seen in nature.

Had same decicion with volcano grey. Went with offroad Package in body color and black roof rails. I like non of the 21 Inch wheels, 22 is not suiting my job in the Tyrolean mountains - so i choose the original macan S wheels.
