I told my brother I was buying an SUV his response was "have you lost your mind?!" Then I let him drive my Macan Turbo and his response was OMG This Thing Is Easy Speed!

The Cayenne is a boat, close enough I guess

I have a macan s, and drove the cayenne base model before, honestly it handled way better than i expected, no where close to been a boat, i almost regretted not buying one because i thought it would handle really bad haha

lol - a ship

fuckoff

r

RS would be faster. matchs the m2

yeah me too i would enjoy watching comparisons between big fast heavy sedans against probably lighter smaller sports car

Sid Acidic You seen the one on car wow? SQ7 vs Civic Type R vs S/C MX-5

S Miller yup saw that one but i would appreciate if they could combine track test as well .

Sid Acidic I think it would probably have been Honda, Audi, MX-5 but yeah that would have been good.

had a 535 and love my S more...with the V8 550 thou its a different story..this V8 is a beast!!

I also have a macan S and made me think twice about my n54 e90 335i. So I am not alone. These things are true monsters

Thanks

​@@Rndmrth3 ist dein 335i gechippt? Hab nen n54 FBO mit MHD stafe 2 also cirka 430PS.. der macan turbo performance gefällt mir.. bin am überlegen mal einen probe zu fahren..

Since BMW and specially M-cars are the ultimate driving machines, any loss has to be either to a super sports car or it's not a fair test. These are facts and all we car loving people know them. Hence why you see so many dislikes in those unfair cases. This one was barley fair. M2 should have won by at least 2-3 seconds. Or if it had been a normal track, i e a bit longer, that would have been the case.

it would be more fair if the m2 was a fucking truck !

BMW is

BMW is rubbish! There is a reason you don't find them on investment car floors. They simply don't last 50K miles and therefore the absolute rubbish resale values. BMWs cannot compare with Mercs and Porsches, not even close in terms of quality and you will hear the rattles after a short period of ownership. By far the most overrated car from Germany. And let us not speak of the nasty experience of a BMW dealership.

Grant Swanepoel I can vouch for the nasty experiences at BMW dealerships... windshield replaced and the sealant oozed out all over my a pylons. Dealer said to come back later and they would, "razor blade the extra sealant off"... yeah, they actually tried this... it looked like black fake Christmas tree with razor blade cuts all over the new glass; I have NEVER had a tire replacement done at ANY BMW dealership without either scratches to my wheels or gouges in the lug nut channels; almost every time I take it in, there are black oil/dirt/grease/Hyde fluid marks on my door handles, shifter, steering wheel and seats (I'm not joking, these places are really this bad); an attempt to "clean out" my sunroof at the price of over 600.00 because of a sun roof that wouldn't close all the way, when all it needed was the tracks greased and a ten second button hold reset; and many many more problems... too many to mention here. I will NEVER EVER buy a new BMW again in the USA. I still haven't bought a Porsche. I pray that maintenance at Porsche isn't a comparison.

@@henzo7087 garbage garbage garbage only the Top here Porsche , Toyota Lexus and Acura , infinity here the rest can suck down a tube BMW are never on the collectors sites there euro trash for the masses

But the Porsche weighs 2 tons 😂😂😂😂

Not so sure about the dct M2 being the quicker version here Mattias. The manual is a touch lighter, had a really nice fresh set of Pilot Supersport tyres fitted on the day, and the track temp was nice and warm. Which wasn't the case when the dct was timed. James is no slower than me in a car, promise.

+steve sutcliffe Good for me then since I've ordered a manual M2. I always like your reviews. Thanks for your input :)

what options ? black blue stitch Pleather and 4 paint colors. Competition version coming ?

Yes you should.

i would too. fuck small shitty cars that can't even touch dirt.

nice but not better sorry

+GraveUypo BECAUSE YOU'LL BE TOUCHING A LOT OF DIRT WITH YOUR SUPER EXPENSIVE PORSCHE WHOSE 4X4 SYSTEM IS ONLY USED FOR CORNERING AND NOT CLIMBING SHIT?

Sandouras i would. i have to. so yeah, shut up.

M2 is a standard coupe with a monster engine so that it is fast. (Same story with MB and Audi) Cayman GTS is a very fast coupe.

Basically what I'm saying is that either the editing is poor and don't reflect what actually happened, or Steve put significantly less effort into the M2's laptime, skewing the results in favor of the Macan. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Manuals are for poor morons who can't afford an automatic. End of the story !

You both are wrong. :P oXiGeN_eXtreMe Right, that explains why why 3% of cars sold in Europe are automatic, right?

Go to America 100% Automatics. Because they are smart not fools like europeans

Why the fuck would I want to go to America? It's not like you have decent cars. Also, why did you feel it was necessary to insult 743 million people?

Ever driven a manual gear car before? And you are from America, I am assuming? I hope you know that your Mustang GT350R and Ford Focus RS only come with the manual option. And they are for poor people, right? Last time I checked the Ferrari F40, the Porsche 911R and the Mclaren F1 weren't selling for only 40 bucks...

He was using the manual version of the PDK, which Porsche will tell you is the slower way to use the system.

you're kidding right? get your head out of your ass

+ewt415 watch the video carefully but first drink a cup of coffee.Just some friendly advice

Fahed Sayed You really think they drive one lap, record that one video, and then post it on the internet? They take multiple of lap times and take the best. and the finish line is right after a corner, if I'm not mistaken. The AWD in the Macan allows it to be driven near full throttle. You won't get that kind of grip and speed in a RWD car at full throttle. A RWD car needs to be driven delicately.

ewt415 watch the video again and listen to the throttle ... 3 seconds before the clock stops you should see and hear the difference unless you are blind and stupid

Fahed Sayed Let me tell you what I see: In both the end of the clips of the Macan and the M2, the car slows down, downshifts, and Steve Sutcliffe turns left, meaning the finish line is right before a corner. The Macan was full throttle *until the clock stopped* but had an *roughly equal amount of time slowing down*, downshifting, and turning into the corner after the finish line as the M2. The M2 was also full throttle until the he started slowing down and down shifting for the corner. Unless the Macan slows down MASSIVELY quicker than the M2 (it doesn't), then the only explanation for this is that whoever edited the video did not calibrate the stopwatch with the actual visual on the screen. It's NOT because they purposely let go of the throttle before the finish line, because if they did that, the M2 would have been running on partial throttle far longer than the Macan. I hope that makes sense and was simple enough to understand lol.

But the AWD probably equals it out.

i agree

you're kidding right? The macan looks uglier than that sin of a design the X4 has?

Macan looks ugly compared to an X4 ??? or GLC????? you're fucking kidding??????? The X4 and the GLC is butt fuck ugly and has been widely referred to in the press as not a very good looking car. You're fucking blind.

I dont like SUVs.. And BMW maken the most tasteless and Ugly ones.. Porsche did a proper job with this Macan.. The x4 is a joke compared to this beast

this person seriously has taste issues thinking x4 better looking

its a conspiracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying laps get rid of the variables of launching from 0mph. All lap times recorded anywhere are with flying laps

Couldn't agree more

Nah I wouldn't say your points are very fair. The Porsche has 4WD so it will be more stable hitting the kerbs, it also has softer suspension meaning it is less likely to be thrown about off the kerbs. Flying lap is how races are done, the M2 isn't a drag car so why start the race like one? Short track is a odd complaint as well.

you're my tongue ? ;°)

Why not?

Why would you pit a low-slung, light, sportscar, against a tall, heavy, crossover? All yall acting like they pitting the M2 against a PDK Cayman GTS or something.

+ewt415 I would pick the M2 over it any day, but when you're at a crossroads in life of having only one car in your garage, one might think long and hard about a car that can do it all. And I mean comfortably seat 4, lug a lot of cargo around and go stupid fast. It might make a soon to be father think long and hard between an M2 and the Macan.

I think the M2 would beat it quite comfortably for some reason. Especially if they're both DCT. Both manual, not sure. Either way gap will be minimal

I have one and mate has the m2 and mines way more comfortable with 3 suspension settings.

That's what true enthusiasts want.

Did you find out the song yet?

not yet... Shazam wont recognise it. I'll post it as soon as I find it.

Any news regarding the song name?

unfortunately no...

When new the Macan turbo was almost 3 times the price in Canada…. Now I’m used market as expected M car holds value better

GTS is a Macan S with some cosmetic options standard.

you clearly know nothing about porsches do you ??????? do some research before you make a comment you look less stupid.

+robbyjai it's a Macan S with a bit more power and some options thrown in. GTS cars are between S & Turbo in cost and performance. Base GTS maybe be better in track than a base Turbo but the GTS options are available on the Turbo .

+robbyjai www.porsche.com/all/comparemodels/CompareNew.aspx?model1=95BAS1&model2=95BAF1&model3=&pool=usa&language=none&selTab=&modelrange=&cartype=&drivetrain=&msrp=&hp=&consumption= There you go wise ass.

Next time do a Hyundai i10 vs 918, short track so yeah they should be within a second of each other

Next time grow a brain before making comments like that. We're talking fast cars, not two complete opposites.

You hav £50k to play with, you want a fast luxury German car but you are not sure if you are willing to get a M2 when it's so impractical. Porsche make good sports cars so you think hmm I need a practical sporty car but is it as good as the M2? This video answers that...no, but god it is near enough that it almost doesn't matter. It's not always just for the online people, but actually for people buying these things!

Similarly, I want a Porsche with proper back seats but I don't like the Panamera and the Cayenne is too big. Sure, the 911 has back seats, for children, and it's nearly 100k. The Macan is the only option. So naturally, you cross shop, but no other SUV holds a candle to the Macan, so you look at the likes of the M3, M4, and M2. As this video displays, this SUV is as good as the best coupe in the market. Which is pretty amazing. It kinda makes you wonder what Porsche could make if they wanted to attack the sport coupe market.

Alright. I understand the comparison from the money perspective, but within that argument there are so many alternatives to the M2 (especially if you don't want something exclusively from Porsche and you're prepared to look in the 2nd hand market). This comparison works only if your alternative to the M2 is only from the Porsche side that has pretty much the same versatility as the M2. So I can't see reason in this comparison unless you're absolutely stuck in between those two options.

Because why not. Cars of this nature are already unnecessary excess and there is no real point in being a car enthusiast. All the points you can attribute as an argument to being a car enthusiast you can attribute to why this video exist and it is, therefore, the very essence of car enthusiasm. Hey, I almost sounded kind of smart there.
