For an even sportier look, the Macan GTS is equipped as standard with extended features in Race-Tex, along with elements trimmed in black leather. Race-Tex is found on the heated multifunction GT Sports steering wheel, the armrests of the centre console, the door panels and the dashboard. The centre panels of the 18-way adaptive sports seats are also covered in Race-Tex, where a special feature is the ‘Diamar’ embossing. Smooth leather is used for the seat bolsters and headrests.
The optional GTS Interior Package enables customers to create a colour scheme with a matching interior and exterior. This package is available in a choice of Carmine Red, Slate Grey Neo and Lugano Blue to match the corresponding exterior paints. The decorative stitching on the seats, steering wheel, door panels and the upper part of the dashboard are also finished in the respective colour, as are the seat belts and the ‘GTS’ lettering on the seats. In addition, the multifunction GT Sports steering wheel is fitted with a badge with coloured lettering matching the selected interior. Cars ordered with the GTS Interior Package automatically come with the Carbon Interior Package, featuring decorative carbon-fibre inlays on the steering wheel, the dashboard trim strip and the front and rear door panels.
Up to three displays, GTS-specific gauges and the Sport Chrono Package
The Macan GTS has a state-of-the-art display and operating concept featuring up to three screens, including the free-standing 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster and the 10.9-inch central display.
The GTS styling continues across the digital displays, with the exterior colour of the customer's car being used for the 3D visualisation of the vehicle in the central display. In addition, the instrument cluster bears the ‘GTS’ lettering. Many functions of the standard Sport Chrono Package can be operated via the corresponding app in the central display. These include recording lap times and telemetry data, adding new tracks, and sector and lap analysis.
The 12.6-inch, fully digital, free-standing curved display of the instrument cluster sits directly in the driver's visual axis. As is customary with Porsche, this screen forms the highest point of the instrument panel. The central display is a high-resolution 10.9-inch touchscreen in Full-HD quality.
The optional passenger display also has a diagonal measurement of 10.9 inches. The passenger can adjust settings for the infotainment and navigation systems, browse media apps and stream video content. This is even possible while driving; thanks to special technology, the display cannot be seen from the driver's seat.
Colourful presentation: the communication light
The Macan GTS features ambient lighting with a ‘communication light’ as standard. In the instrument panel, there is a band of 56 LEDs that runs from one door panel to the other. This coloured and animatable strip of light visualises various vehicle states, such as the charging process, and greets passengers with a special animation when they enter. Typical Porsche features, such as Launch Control or the change of drive modes, are also highlighted with the light strip.
In addition, the communication light also works in conjunction with certain driver assistance systems, such as Lane Change Assist and Exit Warning, and can then issue location-specific warnings. For example, a pulsating light signal on their door warns the driver of danger if they try to open it when, for example, a cyclist is approaching from behind.
