Life can’t be truly intense without some twists and turns.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
Sports car makers adore corners. With
our technologies, we are forever fanning
the flames of the relationship. PT V Plus
is an optional system for enhancing both
driving dynamics and stability.
Operating in conjunction with an
electronically regulated rear differential
lock, it works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels. When the
car is driven into a corner, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel as the situation demands.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive
force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle’s vertical axis. The effect is a
direct and sport y steering action. And
considerable driving pleasure at every
t wist and turn. At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
Plus significantly increases agilit y and
steering precision. At high speeds on the
straight, and in fast corners where the
wheels threaten to spin, the electronically
controlled rear differential lock provides
added driving stability. Stability is also
improved on road surfaces with varying
grip as well as in the wet and snow.
Optional for all Macan models.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package adds a
stopwatch with an analogue and a digital
display to the cockpit. The performance
display in PCM lets you view a range of
driving stats, including your total driving
time, current lap distance and lap times
recorded so far. The lateral and
longitudinal forces acting on the vehicle
are illustrated by the G -Force graphic on
the colour screen in the instrument
c l u s t e r.The centre console also comes equipped
with the SPORT PLUS but ton, which is
used to activate SPORT PLUS mode. In
this mode, the engine becomes even
more responsive and the rev limiter is
adjusted to a harder set ting. Porsche
Traction Management (PTM) is now tuned
for even sportier performance. For cars
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), SPORT PLUS mode
results in harder damping and more
direct steering. In addition, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The
shift times of PDK, fit ted as standard,
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. The optional air suspension
automatically drops to Low Level. Launch
Control is primed to deliver optimum
acceleration from a standing start.

Optional for all Macan models.

Safety.
Bi-Xenon main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Bi-Xenon main headlights feature
automatic and dynamic range control,
which provides uniform illumination of the
road whether dipped or main beam is
selected. The dynamic cornering light
function swivels the headlights towards
the inside of a bend based on the
steering angle and road speed. The
static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate
more of the road at tight bends and
turns. Put simply, a greater part of the
road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. In addition, PDLS adjusts the range of
the dipped beams at higher speeds. An
adverse weather function reduces the
effect of reflection phenomena in poor
visibility conditions.
Standard in the Macan
Turbo. Optional for
all other Macan models.
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(P D L S+).
Optional PDLS+ offers t wo additional
functions. The dynamic main beam
feature adapts the headlight range to
oncoming traffic and to traffic in front.
Whenever you approach an intersection,
the Intersection Assistant activates the
static cornering lights on the left and right to widen the light cone. This
provides better illumination in the area
immediately around the vehicle, and you
see what ’s going on around you all the
sooner.
Optional for all Macan models.
Daytime running lights.
Daytime running lights are standard on all
models. On cars with halogen headlights,
this function is implemented by the inner
headlight. On cars with Bi-Xenon main
headlights, the stunning light source is
four LED spotlights in each headlight. The
benefit is clear. If other road users can
see you bet ter, day time driving becomes
a safer experience.

Taillights.
The three-dimensional design of the LED
taillights pays homage to the 918 Spyder
super sports car and lends an impressive
appearance of depth. At the same time,
they are especially responsive and
powerful – and that means added safet y.
In the event of panic braking, the
adaptive LED brake lights begin to
pulsate, alerting following traffic more
quickly to a critical situation. The third
brake light is integrated into the roof
spoiler.

Environment70 | Instinct
Fuel system.
In the petrol models, even the emissions
of the fuel system itself are minimised
for the protection of the environment.
Evaporative emissions are significantly
reduced by the returnless supply system.
Vapour-carrying lines are made from
multi-layered plastic, while a high- capacit y
active carbon filter and the fuel tank also
feature a multi-layered construction in
order to make every thing as impermeable
as possible.
Noise reduction.
The characteristic Porsche sound may
drive our passion, but acoustics is yet
another area in which we continuously
strive for optimisation.
Stiff components and light weight,
temperature-stable materials minimise
play bet ween parts and therefore
mechanical noise. Voluminous silencers
and air induction systems reduce noise
levels further – and that ’s over the
course of the entire service life. In collaboration with t yre manufacturers,
we are managing to reduce the rolling
noise of t yres, while aerodynamic
refinements keep wind noise as low as
possible. What ’s left? The Porsche sound,
pure and simple.
Servicing.
Long-life and hard-wearing materials
reduce maintenance items to a minimum.
At the time of an oil filter change, for
example, only the recycling-friendly
paper insert needs to be exchanged and
not the entire housing.
Moving parts are adjusted automatically,
e.g. by hydraulic valve clearance
compensation.
The use of individual ignition coils in
petrol engines makes the entire ignition
system, except for the spark plugs, wear-
and maintenance-free. Advantage for
you? If it doesn’t need replacing, it
doesn’t need to be disposed of. Not only
does this support the responsible
handling of resources and a caring
at titude towards the environment, it
saves you time and money.
The maintenance intervals of the Macan
models nevertheless depend on various
factors, including the local fuel grade.
For exact information, please refer to the
price list published in your country or
consult your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
A Porsche is a source of long-lasting
pleasure for our customers and a
refreshing change for their environment.
This Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainability.
Here’s just one example: the exhaust
system of the Macan models is made
from extremely corrosion-resistant
stainless steel – and purposefully
manufactured on the principles of
lightweight construction. In addition, our cars are free from CFCs and parts
manufactured with the use of CFCs. In
all, they are over 95
% recoverable.
Naturally, all statutory recycling
requirements are fulfilled. The labelling of
materials facilitates future sorting for
excellent recycling.
On the subject of recycling, there is
plent y of time before it is even needed.
Two -thirds of all Porsche cars ever built
are still being driven today. What bet ter
way to conserve resources?

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.
