Macan concept16 | Life, intensified
Those who prefer to blaze a trail of
their own don’t need to follow the lead
of others. We’re thinking specifically
about cars known as compact SUVs,
characterised by five doors, five seats,
all-wheel drive – and, of course, a higher
seating position. But aren’t they lacking a
certain something?
Something that adds a lit tle life, lets us
enjoy a more intimate relationship with
the road and delivers intense driving
pleasure. A concept that boasts plent y of
space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But
no room for compromise. Compact,
concentrated and intense, but still
powerful. Practical but never ordinary. until our engineers achieved their
overriding development objective: the
first sports car among compact SUVs.
The Macan – built for an intensive

life in which the thirst for experience
and thrills and spills are ever-present,
and in which new challenges are a
permanent driving force. Built for a life
that refuses to be hemmed in by
conventions and feels all the more
authentic for it. Direct and intimate.
A sports car that gives us what we’re
looking for, even in our everyday life: that
feeling of being alive.
The Porsche Macan. Life, intensified.
It is by these standards that we created
the Macan, and saw it emerge with

three distinct guises. Each one a sports
car. Each one unmistakable in its own
segment. Each one a genuine Porsche –
from design and driving dynamics to
equipment specification. From the ultra
sport y S variant, and from the efficient
marathon runner with diesel engine to
the Turbo – which sets performance
standards in its vehicle class
.
All Macan models were developed, tested
and built in keeping with the Porsche
philosophy. That ’s where we take sport y
st yle and performance from the
racetrack and inject it into everyday
driving. We make it as efficient as
possible – and, of course, just as safe
and comfortable. No efforts were spared
Take the everyday out of every day.

We could etch character in stone.
But we prefer more dynamic forms of expression.
Exterior design.
What makes a Porsche a Porsche? The
fact that it is instantly recognisable, some
would answer. Others might say it ’s the
face that stands out from the crowd.
Our engineers would say that it ’s the
Porsche DNA.
We’re referring to a design language that
has survived and described 65 years of
sports car evolution, whether in the wind
tunnel, on the racetrack, in minds or in
hearts. It gives every Porsche its own
unmistakable character. And our
development of it goes on.
The face alone of the Macan lays bare
the dominant sport y genes of its hereditary
line. The characteristic headlights are
integrated into the bonnet. The large,
imposing air intakes of the front apron are
just waiting to inhale life. Every single
second. The bonnet stretches through to the
wheel arches. This lends the front a
broad and powerful presence and
reminds us of the legendary Porsche 917,
which won countless victories in the
early 1970s – including at 24 Hours of

Le Mans, where it held the distance
record for 39 years.

The side profile is t ypically Porsche.
From this angle, every muscle appears
flexed – like a predator ready to pounce.
The roof line slopes distinctively down
towards the rear, drawing the customary
sports car contour that promises
excellent aerodynamics. Our designers
call it the Porsche flyline.
A visual highlight of the Macan is the
sideblades. Not only do they set a sport y
accent, their design pays homage to the
918 Spyder. They make the proportions
of the doors appear narrower and the
flanks seem much sleeker and sportier.
Sideblades are available with a Lava
Black paint finish, in the exterior colour
of the vehicle or – for a particularly
exclusive statement – in carbon.
In sizes of up to 21 inches, the wheels of
the Macan are equally eye- catching. The
particular Macan model that you see
before you is recognisable by its brake
calipers: silver- coloured on the S variants
and red on the Turbo. Typically Porsche.

Three-dimensional LED taillight

Turbo with overarching bonnet
At the rear, the classic Porsche sports
car design reveals itself: slender at the
top, widening into broad shoulders above
the rear wheels – a homage to the 911.
The st yling of the rear hatch gives the
rear end a particularly harmonious look.
For convenience, the rear hatch on all
Macan models is equipped with an
automatic powerlift function. The narrow
LED taillights have three-dimensional
proportions, which gives them an
extraordinary appearance of depth – and
captures your at tention. The overall
effect is to make the Macan look low,
wide and thus intimate with the road –
like any genuine Porsche. After all, a
muscle-toned body is meant to be
admired from the rear as well as the
front.
Of course, our engineers took great care
to ensure that the interior of the Macan is
just as intense with sports car
sensations.

Where it comes from, valuable seconds count.
Where it wants to go, valuable moments matter.

Macan principle.
Our home is the racetrack. It ’s where we
fight for every tenth of a second and
every gramme in weight. The knowledge
that we gain is streamed into our series
production models.
We’ve known since 1948 that nobody
wins on horsepower alone, whether it’s
on the racetrack or in everyday life. Our
main development objective is to create
sports cars that stir emotions. By that
we mean the driving feel that only a
genuine Porsche can provide. With
considerable agility and dynamics, but
always with responsibilit y in mind. We
achieve these goals with highly efficient
engines, outstanding driving features and
the relentless will to push boundaries –
upwards. We want something to happen – on the
tarmac certainly, but first and foremost
just beneath the skin. That ’s why every
member of the Macan family was
developed to fulfil one principle in
particular: to bring the urban way of life
to the fast lane and to provide a high
level of sporty performance to everyday
driving. Job done.
Let ’s begin at the heart. Whether it ’s the
six-cylinder turbo diesel or the twin-turbo
six-cylinder, all engines are characterised
not only by their impressive performance
and high efficiency but, above all, by

the typical resonance of their sound.

for driving dynamics and stability. Mixed
t yres are fit ted as standard – as seen on
the 911 – to deliver even greater traction
and agility.

Macan Turbo.
Must intensit y really have any limits? In
the areas of design, performance and
exclusivit y, we have at the very least
redefined them.

The distinctly muscular front apron, with
the side airblades of the conspicuously
large cooling air intakes, is found
nowhere else but on the Macan Turbo.
It ’s a visual promise of thrilling
performance. Bi-Xenon headlights with
dynamic cornering lights provide
optimum illumination of the road – and
therefore a high level of safet y. These
are supplemented by the extraordinary
four-spot LED day time running lights.
The Macan Turbo also stands out thanks
to its front spoiler lip, the design of
which is based on that of the 918 Spyder.
The direction indicators and position lights have been integrated in such a way
that they appear to hover inside the side
air intakes. Below them are the LEDs of
the fog lights. The sideblades are painted
in the exterior colour of the body.
SportDesign sideskirts underline the
powerful profile. Another t ypical feature
of the Turbo is the ‘Macan turbo’ logo on
the rear hatch.
Impressively, the 3.6-litre t win-turbo V6
engine delivers an enormous power
output of 294 kW (400 hp). The sprint
from 0 to 100 km/ h is completed in a
mere 4.8 seconds. Top speed is
266 km/ h. Those aren’t simply bare
numbers, but record figures for
performance in this segment. Not to
mention the very high degree of
efficiency.
19-inch Macan
Turbo wheels are fit ted
as standard. Behind these are the red
brake calipers of the large- diameter
brakes. The steel spring suspension is
equipped, as standard, with Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
which enhances both sport y
performance and ride comfort.
As standard, the Macan Turbo is
trimmed with the leather package, which
emphasises the exquisite qualit y of the
interior. Another highlight is Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
with navigation module and a large
touchscreen. It comes as standard, just
like the BOSE
® Surround Sound System.
Offering a total output of 545 wat ts and
with 14 loudspeakers including active
subwoofer, it delivers a special listening
experience.

Macan S34 | Life, intensified
Pace car for the senses.

Macan S.
The ‘S’ principle has long been a tradition
as far as Porsche cars are concerned.
It represents an especially sport y inter -
pretation of a particular idea. It ’s a
promise of spine-tingling thrills and spills
– and omits any thing superfluous to the
spirit of sporty driving.
High performance, on the other hand,
is something that the Macan S would
never do without. Its 3.0-litre twin-turbo
V6 engine generates 250 kW (340 hp)
and helps it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
in only 5.4 seconds. Top speed is
254 km/ h. Figures to raise the hairs on
the neck of any sports car enthusiast. The Macan S is equipped with 18-inch
Macan S wheels. Its brake calipers are
silver-coloured. This high-performance
athlete is also recognisable by the
‘Macan S’ logo on the rear hatch – and
on the door sill guards in aluminium.
Inside, the sport y theme is epitomised by
the rev counter with silver- coloured dial
face. The CDR Plus audio system
integrated as standard features a high-
resolution 7-inch colour touchscreen
offering intuitive ease of use.
The sport y spirit can be intensified even
further with a range of options such as
the Sport Chrono Package. It includes the SPORT PLUS but ton, one press of
which tunes the engine for an even
sharper response. The chassis and
transmission also adapt their se-tup to
SPORT PLUS mode. The package
additionally comprises a stopwatch and
the Launch Control function for the
fastest possible acceleration from a
standing start, e.g. on a racetrack.
Another option is Porsche
Communication Management (PCM). In
this model, it is supplemented by a
performance display showing lap times
and other essential driving stats.

encounter with intensity.
