We've learnt that the facelifted Macan is no longer going to have a 'turbo' model with the revised GTS filling the previous turbo slot (with a virtually identical power output).
The 'turbo' designation on 911s has become somewhat redundant with the Carrera models all having turbocharged engines anyway.
Porsche have taken some stick for using the Turbo designation on electric cars which, obviously, don't have turbochargers.
So.... my guess is that the turbo brand is, over the next few years, going to be phased out from Porsche models altogether. I'd put a tenner on the 22 Taycan lineup being rebranded to: The base model (Taycan or Taycan 4CT), then 4S, then GTS (to replace the turbo), then something else to replace the turbo S (I'd put another fiver on it being GTRS!).
Just wild speculation of course, I could be just talking rubbish.... wouldn't be the first time...
