Nice that they got one run of just 3.5 seconds 0-60 for the 4s.

The 4S is noticeably quicker, given its additional 154 ponies. In fact, based on Porsche claims, it's nearly as quick as the gas GTS in acceleration—we clocked a run to 60 in 3.5 seconds for that model.

They're saying they got 3.5 in the ICE Macan GTS.

Also funny Drew Dorian of C&D earlier said " The steering is quick and feels natural" and in this article Csaba Csere of C&D says "electric power steering calibration is not Porsche's best effort. This car was equipped with optional rear-wheel steering, and while it's easy to position the car accurately, the strong self-centering action feels decidedly unnatural."

C&D writers are all over the place with bias, pretty funny. Csere mostly writes about vintage cars, Dorian modern cars. As a rule as soon as a reviewer says "electric power steering" I take everything else with a lot of salt. You mean the thing all modern cars use?

I guess the EPA range estimates have been released for the 2025 4S and RWD Macan EVs since most of these reviews report a range of 288 for the 4S and 315 for the RWD. The 4S range is disappointing since I assumed that it would be in between the 4 and the turbo at 298 miles rather than the same as the turbo at 288.

I don’t know there’s enough room for the GTS between the 4S and the Turbo right now.

They share the same range and there’s 0.8 sec difference on the 0-60 (maybe even less based on one review).

Would be surprising but who knows!

Like @tmrqs I think (just a guess) that they are positioning the gas and EV models side by side so they don’t cross names. Ie the removal of the Gas Turbo version was intentional

For example:

Macan RWD (Electric)
Macan (Gas)
Macan T (Gas)
Macan S (Gas)
Macan 4 (Electric)
Macan 4S (Electric)
Macan GTS (gas)
Macan Turbo (Electric)

So in this case, yes there is room for a Turbo or Turbo S or GT etc.

lol i suppose like the Taycan (if it were to happen) it would be a few years away when a better bigger more efficient battery is available but I agree looks like there’s no room for a GTS EV especially when they are still selling the GTS gas version.

Anyone know why the Porsche finder doesn't show any incoming S or RWD vehicles yet or for that matter any 2025s?

I think vehicles are expected in a few months and wondering about if it on purpose to push people to see only the 2024s etc
