While my Turbo was in the shop for updates my dealer gave me a 4S ev as a loaner, Last time they gave me a 4S ICE loaner. I had 5 days with the loaner and was impressed with the handling and performance. While it didn't have all the options on my Turbo, it still had the essence and is miles ahead of any ICE Macan. imho

There is no ICE 4S Macan...

ICE GTS or S only (S is what I think you meant).

76 horses separate GTS and 4S EV (significant) but alas only 0.2s difference 0-60 with Launch in favour of 4S EV. GTS will however out pace with top speed 20 mph higher.

Same comparison with Macan S (ICE) and Macan 4S EV (86 more horses) and the 0-60 time is 0.5s in favour of the EV - not spectacular IMHO.

EV will nail torque however.

All subjective and nobody launches day in day out.

I had a Macan ICE S for almost 7 years (a 911 4S Cab before that). I've had my 4S EV now for over 11 months. I loved the ICE S at the time. I wouldn't switch back now if you paid me. I loved the 911 also but it was so impractical I had to buy another car for everyday driving. The 4S satisfies both. It's a fast sports car when I need it to be and practical everyday machine when I need that. As for it's speed, I blew a panamera off the line the other day.. and I wasn't even in launch mode. I love what they've done with the Cayenne from an engineering perspective. I pray they move a lot of those improvements to the Macan by the time mine goes off lease (first car I've ever leased.. technology moves too fast in this space).
