Inside, the sports seats are trimmed in black leather upholstery and Sport-Tex inserts, with the headrests getting embossed Porsche crests. Elsewhere, silver stitching picks out the seats, headrests and steering wheel, which is a heated ‘GT’ item. A sports chrono stopwatch sits atop of the dashboard, and special black ‘Macan T’ sill plates have been fitted, too. The infotainment system is unchanged – the Macan T retains the same 10.9-inch touchscreen packed with Porsche’s PCM software, which includes satellite navigation as standard.
