[@robertjdm]

The answer is yes! Yes it's worth it!

[@topfitnessssss]

Is not .. not til the "Turbo S" comes out in a few months.

[@kevgladwin]

This is a pretty good review video. For someone who's not an experienced automotive journalist, you done good! More of this please.

[@assaleh90]

You're great at capturing the differences and explaining them, great video.

[@donstantonhobbiesandworkvideos]

Is the fella in the back seat wearing his sisters top??

[@JustlifeTomSandraYordi]

😁😁😜😜😜

[@fueltoblaze1554]

Ha, exactly what I was thinking

[@Nevakonaza.]

Looks like a dress :p

[@poimendekaf]

😂😂😂

[@9hundred67]

that's his toy boy.

[@olivershore4508]

"I spec'd this, I spec'd that", it's your dads car ! And state the freakin' obvious, "the first thing you notice is the turbo is more responsive", than a diesel, no shit Sherlock.

[@FreekickerzBelgium]

he spec'd it as a present for his dad so he doesnt lie

[@TomCogan]

Great video as always Seb

[@fueltoblaze1554]

Your bar of great videos must be pretty low.

[@georgedean4998]

Great review. I had the same driving experience as you described.

[@BigsizeNL]

man i had to sub after i saw your morning intro, I love it! ahaha

[@AntoineDuplaix]

hey seb ! actually, there are 258 hp in the S diesel, not 300, that is for the S petrol

[@Floridos]

Can't call this guy a petrolhead when he doesn't even know the amount of horsepower they have with the s diesel. 😂 So painful to watch. But I unsubscribed before I get comments like: "Don't watch his videos then!"

[@AntoineDuplaix]

+Mr Kast It is not because he don't know the amount of hp of his dad's car that he is not a petrolhead, he prefer enjoy cars more than enjoy numbers and that's cool

[@1989osu]

+Antoine Duplaix Films so he's into something he knows nothing about? Okay, got it.

[@kendrickgoat]

+1989osu lol. so true

[@trihardcx6743]

Antoine Duplaix Films The S petrol has 340 hp.

[@TheKontraRecords]

I'm sorry, but I just don't like the way he says "my car". 'Cause its his dads Porsche. And even he beeing the one to spec it, he does not know why the turbo has some of the button's. The ride hide, has nothing to do with the turbo for example, it just depends on having the Air Suspension fittet or not. :/ So I'm not sure about this Video...

[@RoyEpuna]

Between him and the guy recording the video, it's his car.

[@astrxhub]

KontraRecords Well it doesn't matter you couldn't afford it anyway

[@RRodrigues]

The dude in the back seat is just sleeping, the turbo Macan is that enthusiastic Hun? Ahah

[@jonasreno2164]

GREAT REVIEW!!!

[@drew9312]

Nice, interesting comparison.

[@MattJGAMINGChannel]

j'adore tes videos continue!

[@RAMESH-cz8ro]

When he intros his video saying mooooooorrrrrrniiiiiinnnnnnggg but uploads it at 5pm gmt

[@megatafiq8741]

It's time to upgrade the Elise into an Exige or evora

[@will2557]

Or a Bugatti Veyron...

[@will2557]

+Aventador Dreamer Joking aside, he could probably afford a Bentley continental gt v8, not the v12 because they are like £40K!!!

[@carscarsandcars6968]

I love cars and I have a car channel I hope you guys can check it out

[@TheZeRa8]

Or à jet

[@toddlithgow]

yep or at least get a better elise like a 220 cup because his only has like 120hp and the 220 is insanely fast for an elise.

[@mirkomillo2911]

Nice review Seb....yeah when we talk about any car with more than 200cv, the amount of torque is a significant performance and driving feeling factor. Your Macan Diesel S has 427 lb.ft @ 1750-2500 rpm and the Macan Turbo has @ RPM: 405 @ 1800. This is the reason the two 'sisters' feel almost the same when at low revs....obviously the more you rev and the more the Macan Turbo will push you against the seat unleashing 400cv....

[@renardnelson5456]

I see no reason to spend 20k+ for the Macan Turbo. The Macan S is superb. It is also 200 lbs lighter. I put an ecu remapping tune on my ‘15 Macan S and my performance numbers are now identical to the stock ‘15 turbo. My 0-60 went from 4.9 - 4.2 sec. My 1/4 mile speed went from 102 mph - 107 mph. Although the turbos stopping distance is shorter. But that’s nothing that performance discs and brake pads can’t remedy. But even as is... the braking feels strong and fade free. Stop after stop. I love my S! And I love the 20k that stayed in my pocket as well.

[@mathiasskog8168]

I would like to mention that the turbo comes with red brake calipers while the diesel comes with gray calipers. The turbo would also have the same exhaust tips as the diesel if it was speced with sport exhaust :)

[@toddlithgow]

You should try and find a way to test drive an exige or evora,400 if you can.

[@CinemaUnited]

On the Turbo S you can adjust the suspension? You also have that button on the diesel you just didn't got air suspension than?

[@DerrtyRidhey]

how about the ride comfort? Is the ride firmer/less comfortable in Turbo in comparison to S or standard Macan?

[@haydenbarrick9245]

Showed my mum the video, she loved it so much she put the 2 cars together and bought a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

[@Garage_Distinct_Clips]

Wow

[@renardnelson5456]

I own a ‘15 Macan S with all available options (sport+, chrono, pana roof, etc.). 70k out of the dealership. A similarly equipped turbo would have been about 92k. That said the turbo is about .6 seconds quicker to 60 and 7 mph faster top speed. Braking is 12 feet better from 100 mph in the turbo. At the same time the S is about 200 lbs. lighter. All that said I just spent $1200 on an ecu remapping sports tune. Which has given me a dyno tested increase in hp (45) and torque (62). My performance numbers now are pretty identical to a stock Macan Turbo now. And it feels like it!! Really strong thrust all the way through the powerband. I see no reason whatsoever to spend 20k+ more for a Macan Turbo.

[@loganmurphy8764]

Hey I extremely appreciate your review! It's practically entirely the same engine except the cylinder bores are .6 larger in the turbo. Would you happen to know any other engine differences between the two?

[@fredso]

You can almost buy a Dacia for the same price as those rims lol

[@cas9676]

whahahah

[@andrei147]

Dacia? hahah. You're right.

[@LorenTzoLiak]

He definitely needs a Macan Turbo covered on one badass wrap to 'suits' he's character + the Vossen VFS-2 in a custom matte black finish. ;)

[@xukzALEXx]

Sport plus and the suspension come with the sport crono package .

[@BABELISGREAT]

Seb, is the diesel macan "night blue metallic" colour?

[@paulchen508]

"sevolenkung plus" makes the steering differenz. But also availabel for tha DIesel.

[@foxb.21]

I think Macan S Disesel is quite different than Macan S (the one i owned). Macan S has the same exhaust sound as the Turbo, and has the clock display on the dash as well. The downside is Macan S only has 340hp where Turbo is 400hp. You should test drive the Macan S. In my opinion, don't need to upgrade to the Turbo. xoxo

[@whatarerice]

The clock on the dash is an optional extra

[@STUEYStuart]

i have a cayyene s i test drive the turbo and i didn't think it would be worth but this is with the cayenne

[@Levi-gg5ol]

The only turbo that is worth it, is the Quad turbo intercooler :)

[@seinundzeiten]

What is the fuel economy of the diesel?

[@footballgeorgiebest]

Ha, the guy in the back seat looks like he's been driven to his death.

[@cabriolifestyle8736]

Does anyone know where is that plateau? (I know it from videos, but have newer been there.)

[@eh.1]

If you compared a full optioned diesel it would be more fair. You can have almost everything of all those options in your diesel that you say the turbo has. I'm very satisfied with our diesel and I wouldn't trade it for a turbo any day.

[@christophertice537]

Thanks Seb! We’re thrashin it forsure lol

[@megatafiq8741]

Lotus for life

[@manuv92]

No rear view camera in the Turbo? :D I think it's a pity, that Porsche makes the Turbocharged engines feeling like natural aspirated ones, because i love the feeling of a turbocharged engine,, more than of a natural aspirated. The moment, when the Turbo sets in and presses you in your seat is the best feeling ever.

[@toddlithgow]

should have a rear view mirror so you can see the bmw's behind you 😂

[@raymondhsieh5988]

it's a beauty

[@tintman831]

Hell yeah!

[@_raayhaan_6533]

the Macan turbo sounds amazinh

[@jackbrand4621]

Shmee, 20 years ago

[@tommyd447]

omfg this guy is sooo attractive

[@FreekickerzBelgium]

the macan doesn't have Porsche PDK but a double clutch transmission from the Audi Q5

[@TheZeRa8]

Fuck pdk

[@drivelinetime]

They are the same transmission, minus turbo specific tuning to the gearbox

[@FreekickerzBelgium]

+drivelinetime indeed but its not the PDK but a double clutch transmission from audi!

[@whatarerice]

The turbo has PDK..

[@FreekickerzBelgium]

+whatarerice false it has an audi gearbox the pdk is optional

[@raoulpeterseil3819]

Am I the only one that thinks that gmk looks like jason statham?

[@itsoli2919]

What country do u live in seb?

[@occultustactical6138]

We must be hard up for content. Who knew that a Porsche came in a diesel. While a diesel will give better mileage and good torque the Turbo has Sport plus, Sport Chrono and launch control as well.

[@olorin11]

What about red Brembo breaks??? Didn't say.

[@SuperChampzLive]

That random guy in the backseat lol

[@MrJPablo10]

1:53 those rims are from the 911 Turbo

[@ilyesdavid213]

yep

[@michaels3757]

I would have the petrol S, then go for a tune for 650 NM

[@CarLifeOfficial]

More power? Worth it!

[@korzensz]

This is guy is like French MRJWW-new car every second episode 😂

[@bestboy007]

seb looks like a dwarf in this car. :D

[@MW-ii5nb]

The macan s diesel has about 260bhp not 300. They feel the same power wise because they have similar torque, in fact the diesel has more.

[@blitzbilzerian3737]

Des vidéos en français stp ou au moins les sous titres mais je t'assure que la demande est très forte

[@ImTHATguy...]

As soon as you said you were comparing the Turbo to the S diesel, I hit pause and I'm done watching. That's like comparing Pabst Blue Ribbon to a fine brandy

[@TeslaOG]

You forgot the brakes. Macan S all have Silver Calipers. Turbos have Red and the plain Jane Macan has them in black. Yellow is carbon ceramic and a waste.

[@Bob_Lee]

A young Paul Walker.

[@thatsinteresting7008]

Is it worth upgrading to the Turbo ? Yes it is. Its not like you buy an SUV for the ultimate in handling, so get the fastest one that you can.

[@keanehgz]

Gone through all the effort speccing, doesn't delete the diesel badge...

[@TheDarkGamingFR]

Tu parles francais il me semble non ?

[@SamVHR]

I enjoy your content, but I think it's a bit weird that you're riding with two passengers who aren't saying a word. I like the style of the video where you drove the Macan S with two of your friends into town better.

[@born2vehicles479]

I think Seb should get a Aston Martin

[@SimonIngram]

Where has the Renault Megane gone Seb?

[@HammerRocks]

Yeah, I've asked him the same question and yet to get an answer.

[@tarsneyisleestrelas4659]

Scrapyard! where it belongs.lol

[@SimonIngram]

Of course!

[@jimmyboi176]

What are the badges beside the number plate in the turbo at 3.44 ?

[@FreekickerzBelgium]

those are the symbols of Monaco

[@jimmyboi176]

+Freekickerz Belgium oh right, thank you.

[@Fedawx]

On the left side of the plate it's the "Automobile Club de Monaco" and on the right side it's the "Yacht Club de Monaco".

[@jimmyboi176]

+Fedawx thanks, do you know what gmk does for a living?

[@Fedawx]

+james fox132 No I don't... He doesn't want to speak about that on the internet, he told that he wants to keep some privacy.

[@SSSDDDOOOGGG]

acceleration is just a little better? I think a lot :D

[@shayaanali1]

Im going to compare the 520d bmw diesel to the m5 tomorrow who wants to watch

[@parkerandersen7023]

What about macan gts?

[@JustlifeTomSandraYordi]

verry nice Car many options and power 👍 👍

[@golfbuddy1969]

I am a complete sucker for red leather interiors.

[@angeldustfather]

It's not a diffuser it's skid plate

[@Juliushxn]

the diesel has 258 hp not 306 hp

[@BigBoss-ps6vk]

It feels like he’s just reading lines off other car reviews

[@MrHarlemworld]

TURBO ALL THE WAY!!

[@Simp415]

Wait i swear i've seen this video already. Or maybe it was just a picture? Am I being dumb?

[@saibot1221]

it's not worth getting a Macan Turbo. Get a Macan GTS. It's basically the exact same. and it's not worth getting the 'Sport Chrono Package' on the Turbo either. the clock isn't the only difference of course. the 'sport chrono package' enables the motor to work harder pretty much, and in a Turbo it isn't that effective. just a waste of money tbh.

[@Jay-zy8iv]

they're not 22 inches they're 21

[@felixrata9750]

Watch the video before you comment

[@1989osu]

IS IT WORTH IT TO USE ALL CAPS!?!

[@oscardavies3321]

I don't think it is worth the £17,000 extra for a few small changes and some extra horsepower

[@afonsosouto9502]

I would buy a macan s but petrol

[@LeonardoSchaerer]

Doesn't the s need a CH sticker on it to drive out of Switzerland legally

[@Jeannemarre]

Yes, but it looks ugly, never put it on my car either 😂

[@joniproduction7629]

PorschE you pronounce the E

[@PorscheSweden]

You should have bought a Macan Turbo in the first place. Buying a diesel Porsche is the biggest waste ever. Paying huge money for VW engines.

[@matthewramirez4670]

the macan turbo that's all I got to say if you wanted a diesel get a truck

[@Mad69Russian]

No

[@georgemcgregor7405]

Pfffft nothing against my 2005 Ford Focus

[@bestvidsdottk]

This are not 4x4s. It's a starter Porsche Cayenne.

[@eSysmanSuperYachts]

They are both 4x4s

[@thebeastguy15]

macan gts

[@JustlifeTomSandraYordi]

macan gts is a verry nice car 😀😀😀👍👍👍

[@_lxcsjlt5677]

Parle en français stp

[@pawelkrawczyk3478]

what a hobbit :)

[@jamespugh]

keep the turbo diesel . Better mpg

[@whatarerice]

but slower, and it's a diesel.

[@jamespugh]

whatarerice nothing wrong with diesel. Really reliable and good mpg

[@alb2127]

lol he said the macan s diesel has 306bhp it hat 250bhp lol.....

[@Emurphy212]

Little boy

[@AstroDavid04]

Why use the caps lock in the title jeez

[@gav25x]

Wow call the police
