Macan S Diesel38 | Life, intensified
The new allure of a long-distance relationship.

Macan S Diesel.
Whoever actually said that intense
moments had to be so fleeting?
The Macan S Diesel provides a lasting
endorphin rush on long journeys.
On principle, we build every Porsche to
be as efficient as possible. This is
particularly true in the case of the
Macan S Diesel. The engine is a 3.0 -litre
V6 turbo diesel capable of delivering
190 kW (258 hp). Maximum torque is a
beefy 580 Nm. 0 to 100 km/ h takes
6.3 seconds. Impressive for a diesel.
Impressive for a sports car: relatively low
fuel consumption and emissions for such
power. That ’s partly down to the SCR system
(selective catalytic reduction). In
conjunction with a diesel particulate

filter, it provides an environmentally
friendly exhaust gas recirculation
solution.
The Macan S Diesel is identifiable by the
exterior ‘diesel’ logos on the front left
and right – and by the 18-inch Macan S
wheels and silver- coloured brake
calipers.
Interior features, including two-zone
automatic climate control, as well as the
high degree of storage flexibilit y are the ideal prerequisites for long drives. With
options such as an electrically extending
towbar system or roof rails, you can
ensure that the Macan S Diesel is even
better prepared.
The Macan S Diesel. Heart-pounding fun
that lasts the distance.

Engine44 | Dynamics
Even a life of moderation can be lived with intensity.

Engine.
Auto start/stop function.
To improve fuel economy, the auto start/
stop function switches off the engine
when you are coming to a stop at traffic
lights, for example.
Standard in all Macan models.
VarioCam.
In all Macan models with petrol engine,
the intake and exhaust camshafts are
each equipped with a fully variable vane-
cell controller for stepless timing
adjustments. This helps to deliver high
specific power and high torque – even at
low engine speeds – and, above all,
reduced fuel consumption and low
emissions.
Standard in the Macan Turbo and Macan S.
VarioCam Plus.
With their twin-turbo V6 engine, the
Macan Turbo and Macan S are additionally
equipped with VarioCam Plus. This system

switches the lift of the intake valves,
resulting in instant acceleration and
smooth engine running performance.
Standard in the Macan Turbo and Macan S.
Coasting.
The coasting function enables you to
save even more fuel where the situation
allows. The engine is decoupled from
the transmission, which avoids the
deceleration caused by engine braking.
In this way, the vehicle makes optimum
use of its own momentum and is able to
coast for longer distances. This has real
benefits for fuel consumption without any
impact on comfort or sporty performance.
Standard in all Macan models.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

Engine46 | Dynamics
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, DFI injects
fuel at up to 200 bar directly into the
combustion chamber by means of

electromagnetically actuated injection
valves. The spray and cone angles have
been optimised for torque, power output,
fuel consumption and emissions by
enabling a homogeneous distribution of
the air/fuel mixture and, therefore,
effective combustion. DFI improves the
internal cooling of the combustion
chamber by having the mixture prepared
directly in the cylinder. This allows for a
higher compression ratio, which helps to
deliver greater power output at the same
time as enhanced engine efficiency.
Common-rail diesel injection system.
In the Macan S Diesel, fuel is directly
injected by a common-rail injection
system. The injection pressure of up to
2,000 bar ensures effective mixture
formation and enhanced dynamic
performance. Piezo-controlled injectors
enable a flexible injection process with multiple injections taking place per
stroke and delivering fuel in the exact
amounts required for smooth
combustion.
Thermal management.
Engine cooling is prevented during the
initial stages of a cold start so that the
engine reaches its optimum operating
temperature faster. This means it can
begin working at high efficiency sooner,
thereby consuming less fuel.
Active aerodynamics.
The radiator grille shut ter opens the
cooling air flaps only as needed.
Whenever the cooling requirement is low,
such as on relaxed drives, the radiator
grille shut ter closes. Aerodynamics are
improved, which helps to improve fuel
economy. If, for example, a sport y
driving st yle is adopted and the demand
for power increases, the cooling air flaps
will open and let in the necessary amount
of cooling air for increased driving
performance.
O il supp ly.
The integrated dry-sump lubrication of the
V6 petrol engines guarantees a reliable
supply of oil in all driving situations. The
oil reservoir is located directly inside the
engine, which saves on space and weight.

An electronically controlled oil pump
provides the correct amount of oil as and
when needed. Optimised for sport y
driving, it ensures optimum engine
lubrication even in extreme situations.
For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

Exhaust turbocharging.
The V6 t win-turbo engines are equipped
with t wo turbochargers arranged in
parallel – one for each cylinder bank.
Intake air is compressed and then fed to
the engine via the respective charge-air
cooler. This cooling process achieves
t wo things: high cylinder charge and low
component temperatures.
Electrical system recuperation.
To enhance efficiency, the electrical
system in the Macan models is recharged
on demand during engine overrun
phases. Fuel consumption is thereby
reduced, while the full power output of
the engine is made available for
acceleration phases. You won’t notice
any thing of the process itself, except for
the results: optimum power and torque
with lower fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions.
SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton, which is fit ted as
standard, enables you to select a set-up
that favours either comfort or sport y
performance. At the push of a but ton,
the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer an even sharper response and
engine dynamics that are more direct.
SCR system.
The SCR system (selective cataly tic
reduction) in the Macan S Diesel works in
conjunction with a diesel particulate filter
and AdBlue
® technology to provide an
environmentally friendly exhaust gas
recirculation solution and a significant
reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions.
AdBlue
® is a replenishable liquid added
to a separate tank.
Sports tailpipes.
Sports tailpipes are available for your
Macan on request. The t win dual-tube
tailpipes are specially designed and
feature a highly polished chrome-plated
stainless steel finish, also available in
chrome-plated black. A sporty statement
that is visually unmistakable.

Optional for all Macan models.
Sports exhaust system.
The optional sports exhaust system
delivers an even more resonant sound.
The chromium-plated sports tailpipes –
available in a choice of silver colour or
black – are a treat for both the eyes and
the ears.
Optional for all Macan models.

Weight saving.
Those who enjoy life are bound to
be more light-hearted than others.
The axles of the Macan models are
characterised by purposeful lightweight
construction with the use of lighter,
more stable materials. The results are
excellent driving dynamics, a high degree
of comfort and low fuel consumption.
Suspension tuning.
The suspension is tuned for sport y per -
formance by default – t ypically Porsche.
With a series of optional systems ranging
from uncompromisingly sporty to sporty-
comfortable, you can adapt the suspen -
sion tuning of the Macan perfectly to
your needs.
Air suspension.
For a high level of comfort and
tremendous dynamic performance, you
have the option of an air suspension
including PASM. With this set-up, the car
is 15 mm lower than with the steel spring
suspension. The effect? Improved
aerodynamics. The self-levelling function
helps to keep the ride height constant.
A ride-height adjustment capability
enables you to switch the ground
clearance to three levels: Terrain Level,
Normal Level and Low Level. At Terrain
Level, the car is 40 mm above Normal
Level; at Low Level, 10 mm below it.
Loading Level is especially practical:
from Normal Level, the rear end of the
body lowers 40 mm to make it easier
to load the car. This function is operated
by means of a but ton in the luggage
compartment.
Optional for all Macan models.
Steel spring suspension.
The steel spring suspension is
standard in all Macan models. Not only
does
it fulfil exacting requirements
for performance and driving pleasure,
it contributes to enhanced driving
dynamics, lower fuel consumption and
increased ride comfort.
The steel spring suspension in the
Macan Turbo is additionally equipped
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system. It actively and continuously
adjusts damping force based on current
road conditions and driving st yle. When a car is driven off-road or
assertively in a manner that demands
hard acceleration and braking, the forces
acting on the car will normally induce
perceptible body movements. PASM
intervenes in these situations to reduce
them. You can select from three modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘SPORT’ and ‘SPORT PLUS’.
PASM is permanently active, adapting
automatically to the current driving
situation with the aim of increasing
driving stability and comfort.
Standard in Macan
Turbo. Optional for all
other Macan models.
How should such intensity be brought to the road?
Our engineers have some specific ideas.

OFF-ROAD button.
Would you like to try roads that aren’t
actually there? A but ton on the centre
console sets your Macan to OFF-ROAD
mode. All relevant systems switch to a
traction- optimised program for off-road
terrain. The optional air suspension
including PASM automatically adjusts to
Terrain Level. In addition, optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
and Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
– integrated as standard – optimally
adapt their set-up for off-road use,
delivering improved driveability and
safety.
PTM, which is also fit ted as standard,
provides a fully variable distribution of
drive force bet ween the front and rear axles – up to 100
% if necessary. This
delivers a crucial increase in traction and
driving safety.
Standard in all Macan models.
Porsche Hill Control (PHC).
A but ton on the centre console enables
you to activate Porsche Hill Control
(PHC), which keeps your speed constant
on downhill gradients. You can set any
speed bet ween 3 and 30 km/ h.
Standard in all Macan models.
Steering.
The steering has been engineered for
sporty and immediate handling. The
tuning of the electromechanical steering
system is what makes the Macan models
so extraordinarily agile. It also contributes to low fuel
consumption. As there is no hydraulic
system constantly drawing power, energy
is consumed only when the steering is
turned.
Power steering Plus.
Optional Power steering Plus is a speed-
sensitive power steering system. At high
speeds, the steering firms up and
responds with greater precision, while
steering comfort remains outstanding. At
low speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for
easy manoeuvring and parking.
On the odd occasion,

even a Porsche doesn’t seem out of place.
