  • The idea of a Porsche SUV is hardly new, but we're always curious to see how they live up to the brand's history. On this epsiode, Carlos Lago piliots the twin-turbo Macan GTS around Motor Trend's figure eight handling track to see how it stacks up.

      J O they don't have to make UA-cam videos, they easily make enough money off their magazines to keep the company running. There are also lots of alternative ways to produce video content and make money without them ever even setting foot on UA-cam

      Well to be fair this isn't REALLY the same type of SUV as those generally were (the Ford Explorer, for example). Its much smaller, doesn't use a body on a truck frame, isn't REALLY intended for towing or off road (not to say that it can't do these things)... That said, even the "old school" SUVs are still much better than they once were.

    • @pascalweissenberger7213

      @@themattenthehat i wouldnt say it like that. I drove the Macan in the Gts variant offroad last year. The Macan did things i didnt expact that he can do this. You cant compare with a G Wagon or sth like that but for an compact, normal Suv the Macan is really good in driving off road. He plays with the best in his price class

    This is an enjoyable video to see how the porsche handles and to see the adjustments he makes to counter over-steer and yo hear the engine and for him. To give a play by play as he drives and explains certain aspects. All very enjoyable to listen to. That's if you appreciate vehicles beyond what they look like, name, and number they make on paper ONLY then this isn't the video for you and you more then likely haven't been a advit car lover since a baby

    The minute I hear somebody say "I bought the Porsche minivan so that I could oversteer out of the corners" is the moment that I realize that person has no taste in motorsports. It's kind of like when you see somebody put a spoiler on a Honda Odyssey.

      Different standards and laws in different places probably? In my country all turn signal indicators (front&rear) are amber coloured. Where as many cars in US can use the red tail light as a turn indicator. Here it's not allowed, they must be amber coloured.

    I hope you are reading comments. You have a lot of subscribers. I would add some more exterior drive by so you can see the outside of the car, even if the track is in a figure eight. It might make it more interesting. Seven minutes is a long time for doing so little. I could see seven minutes driving and doing some off roaring and such. Hope this helps you improve. Check out our channel for ideas. We are new too, but I think we have some good videos. You will see different exterior car shots and interior with both GoPros and Sony. Comment if you have more questions or want feedback. Heidi.

    I have been a follower of MT since way before the internet. I'm saying that because I don't want to be thought of as a MT hater. Saying that, you made the comment that the figure 8 among other things helps to gauge transitions that "you actually feel" . Actually feel on a racetrack but not on the streets! Yes there are a lot of idiots that will drive like that on the streets but for the average, normal daily driver that doesn't apply.

The Macan GTS is a track capable SUV and is a whole lot of fun at the limit while also being really comfortable and practical. I would very much like to own one someday.
