Thanks! Yeah I think I'll likely go black interior. It's a little boring (it's what I have now), but I like dark interiors bc they don't look as dirty as quickly.

So my understanding for the raised air suspension is that it only affects the height when you're not in sport mode (giving you more clearance), but that in sport it drops to the same height any GTS has. Is that incorrect? I clicked it bc I plan to be in sport most of the time, but assuming we move back to a cold weather state (which is likely) the extra clearance would be nice in the winter.
I don’t love black interiors either but sometimes it's just what goes best with the exterior. Consider deviated stitching, seat belts, and/or gauge faces in a complimentary color like chalk or silver to have some pop.

My understanding is that 10mm raise impacts every mode. I see no reason for it. I had my GTS further lowered an additional 10mm and I still have plenty of ground clearance. If really driving in deeper snow, put it in off road mode and and lifts plenty high for what the Macan is capable of.

Not trying to be mean but that hurt my eyes just looking at it, but hey it is going to be your car and if you like it go for it. If you do go forward with it I hope you plan on running it into the ground because that is going to be a hard one to sell or trade in.

Copper Ruby is a beautiful color . I have seen two of them in the wild under different lighting . It goes with almost anything else but red (which rules out Bordeaux or the carmine GTS package ) . The cars I have seen had black , the black /beige , and might even work with agate .
Yeah I saw one on the lot today with the black/beige and it was really nice, but I'd prefer a dark interior.

Okay, so I changed to a standard black interior! I took the money saved and added PTV+ and sports chrono. I also clicked off the raised suspension since I was incorrect in my understanding of what it is (thanks Hokie and Yrralis!). And I added the roof rails, which I had intended to add initially but just forgot to click

New build:
Good choice on adding Sports Chrono. Should be a must have on every Macan.

+1. Way better than the original build but I think you can tweak it a little better.

Light interior is nice in not getting as hot in the sun, and if you prefer an overall brighter cabin, the positives end there. The are subject to emphasizing glare (Porsche has at least made the upper surfaces dark), murder to keep clean and show wear much more dramatically. Black is boring, but the right choice here. As someone mentioned you could add the deviated stitching in Chalk, but it’s hard to justify 5k for stitching in a Macan, though it does look great.

Do they have seat belt color to match the Copper Ruby. Haven't check but would think that is cheaper than the stitching.

I don't like black interiors, a grey or beige interior would be my choice given the exterior color. But this copper ruby would never be my #1 choice.

So my 2018 Macan S is at the dealership (dreaded transfer case - at least it's under warranty) and they gave me 2023 Cayenne Platinum Edition as a loaner. I'm really enjoying the black/bordeaux red leather interior. I've been considering upgrading to a GTS anyways, and I built the one below. My Macan is volcano grey and I wanted something a little less conservative this time around (probably a green, blue or red) and really like the copper ruby metallic.

I'm not good with color matching so... do people think the exterior copper ruby metallic clashes with the bordeaux red interior?


I'm also debating PTV+ and sports chrono, but I'm not going to track this so not sure either are worth it. I think PTV+ may be helpful in snow but I currently live in Southern California.
Do Black interior - I love my Sport Chrono, and don't have PTV+

Thanks! Yeah, I've been talking with dealerships about my build, definitely going with black interior.

This is my newest build: Macan GTS | Porsche Car Configurator

Still debating the wheels, possibly upgrading to leather interior, and a few other smaller things.

I really like the Cherry Red Metallic, but not with the red. They do clash! Either go classic black or the Pebble/Black would look great
