Technically this isn’t a review, it’s just a Porsche dealer doing a video.

However one wishes to refer to the video, IMO worth watching. It’s interior definitely look look more upscale than our Macan EV’s does.

I am looking froward our local dealer getting a S for test drives in the new future. Already scheduled for one… I have two main questions that I want (need) to answer from that drive… I am pleased that both our current Macan EV Turbo and the Cayenne EV S have RAS to assist in my evaluating its comparative handling,

1) Comparing it to our current Macan EV turbo which I often drive “spirited Porsche style,” will the S feel just fine or do I feel it does “not have enough juice?” I think it will be just fine (a $15K savings to us), but need to confirm that.

2) Our Macan handles very nicely, even when spiritedly attacking Porsche corners on a road I drive very often, e.g., one whose every curve I know before I enter it. My salesperson already agreed that while my test drive road is a little bit out of the way, that my test will be down it and back. I am pleased the S tester also does not have PAR, and will take it down that road to answer my question of whether I “need” the $7,790 option PAR or if it too handles very nicely without it— for I have am pleased to drive our Macan spiritedly down that road.

I just re-watched he OutOfSpec Cayenne EV S review which while here earlier, is repeated here. With Push-to-Pass & Sports Chrono being standard on the EV S as shown wiithin the video @ 27:56, the S has tons of juice in the P-t-P. My S drive test is tomorrow so will double confirmation that, now expecting that it will show we could avoid the +$15K for the Turbo — lol allowing us to get lots more options and still be ahead.

On public roads the Turbo is WAY BEYOND what anyone needs from an SUV but there’s that devil inside some of us that feel we would be missing out not having all that power. Those are the ones being chauffeured around because they have lost their license.

The problem is when you spec an S with loads of options….you end up with S with like £40,000 + ($54,140..00)of options . . This quickly mounts up when you factor in whats already is included with a turbo …18way seats ..carbon interior package BOSE® Surround Sound System,HD-Matrix LED headlights,PTV Plus ,to name but a few …my dilemma was each time I specced an S it cost nearly as much as a turbo so turbo it is ….well that’s how I justified it to my wife….
and picture this scenario (a car passes you on the freeway and your wife says thats the same car as ours and with begrudging whisper your utter those immortal words “No that’s the TURBO” as you fail to keep up with it ……..SOLD
