2018 Porsche Macan

The Macan celebrated its world premiere at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The newest model to the Porsche model range is the automaker's fifth model line and first entry in the compact sports utility vehicle (SÚV) segment. Macan makes a striking impression from the very beginning: dramatic acceleration and braking figures, impressive engine power, extreme agility, and optimum steering precision. What's more, all of these features are combined with a high level of comfort and everyday drivability.The Macan features a 252 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to Porsche's famous PDK transmission and all-wheel- drive system, Porsche Traction Management. The Macan S, with its 340 horsepower 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 engine can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. The Macan GTS increases power to 360 horsepower, and fits the performance oriented Porsche Active Suspension Management and air suspension as standard equipment. The Macan Turbo is equipped with a slightly larger 3.6 liter twin-turbo V6 engine and offers increased power (400 hp) and a faster zero to 60 mph time (4.6 seconds). The top model is the Macan Turbo with Performance Package, which reaches 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds thanks to its 440 hp 3.6 liter twin-turbo V6 powerplant.




Macan Turbo with Performance Package tops the model line
More power, bigger brakes, and sportier suspension calibration
Atlanta, Georgia. As the sports car of the compact SÚV segment, the Macan has been setting standards in terms of driving dynamics since it made its debut. Now, Porsche is upping the ante: equipped with the Performance Package, the Macan Turbo now sits at the top of the model line, highlighting increased power and agility, with an exclusive interior package.

The newly calibrated twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 engine delivers 440 hp. With 40 more horsepower than the Macan Turbo, the Performance Package offers a corresponding performance improvement of 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds (a reduction of 0.2 seconds), and a new top track speed of 169 mph (an increase of 5 mph). The maximum torque has also risen to 442 lb.-ft. (an increase of 36 lb.-ft.) and is available to the driver across a broad rev range from 1500 to 4500 rpm.



With the Sport Chrono Package, drivers can ramp up the performance of the Macan Turbo even further. In Sport Plus mode, this package ensures the chassis, engine, and transmission are tuned to the most dynamic level – accompanied by an even more emotional sound from the sport exhaust system. The seven-speed PDK double-clutch transmission delivers even shorter response times, with optimum gear change points, and increased torque during gear changes for maximum acceleration.

To customize the Macan Turbo with Performance Package, a range of tailored equipment options are available, such as the Turbo Exterior Package. Options available with this package include 21-inch 911 Turbo design wheels with spokes painted in high-gloss black, LED headlights equipped with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) Plus, and numerous other black elements. The Turbo Interior Package delivers a black leather interior with Alcantara® elements, color appliqué in numerous areas and carbon elements such as the door entry guards with the model logo lit up in white.
