You aren’t usually so quick to brake.
Brakes.
At Porsche, we also set ourselves high
standards for braking performance. So it
goes without saying that our brake
systems are super-sized and adapted to
the high power output of the engine.
At the front, the Macan models are
equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers. The brake
discs are internally vented for consistently
high braking power, even during
continuous use.
To cope with the performance capabilit y
of the Macan models, the brake discs
fit ted to the front axle are up to 360 mm
in diameter. The brake calipers of the Macan S Diesel
and Macan S are silver- coloured. On the
Macan Turbo – red.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
As an option, you can have your Macan
equipped with the track-proven Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).
The cross- drilled ceramic brake discs
have a diameter of 396 mm at the front
axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the
rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and
30 mm thick.
Their low thermal expansion prevents
deformation under heavy braking.
Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are
totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping
properties.
The key advantage is that the brake
discs are approximately 50
% lighter than
standard discs of similar design and size.
Enhanced performance and fuel economy
are not the only noticeable benefits:
above all, it represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses. The
results are improved handling, bet ter
roadholding and increased ride comfort.
Optional for all Macan models.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an electronic control system that
maintains stability – and increases
driving safet y – even at the limits of
sporty performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration. PSM
actively intervenes to
stabilise the vehicle when necessary by
strategically applying the brakes at
individual wheels. That ’s not all. If the
driver suddenly releases the accelerator
pedal, PSM primes the brake system for
a higher state of readiness. Maximum
braking power is therefore achieved
much sooner. The integral anti-lock
braking system (ABS) is optimised for
short braking distances.
Standard in all Macan models.

Interior architecture.
Five doors. Five seats. Excellent everyday
practicality
– and an elevated seating
position. That ’s what you can expect of
an SUV. Now let ’s consider what you
can expect of a Porsche: sports car
sensations.
You get in – and find the ignition lock on
the left. It ’s t ypically Porsche, and has
been since 1948. An old motorsport
tradition.
The interior architecture integrates you
perfectly into the vehicle. This is
exemplified by the three-dimensional
arrangement of the controls and the
ascending centre console with control
but tons for the most important comfort
functions. The layout emulates that of
the Carrera GT – it ’s as if you’re sit ting
in a sports car. The Macan is the first ever Porsche to be
equipped with the multifunction sports
steering wheel with 918 Spyder design.
Its appearance is futuristic and its design
highly ergonomic. Gearshift paddles as
well as multifunction but tons for
telephone, radio and on-board computer
offer high levels of user comfort.
Steering wheel heating is available as an
option.
Sports car genes are also inherent in the
three round instruments. The rev counter
is positioned in the centre, exactly where
it belongs in a sports car. In this way,
you can see all the essentials at a glance
when you’re on the move – and keep up
to speed with all relevant information.
Lean back? Yes.
Put your feet up? No.

rear bench seat has a split-folding ratio
of 40 : 20 : 40. With the seats fully
folded, available capacity increases to
1,5 0 0 l i tr e s .
The use of exquisite materials such as
leather brings exclusivit y to ordinary life.
The standard specification includes a
leather steering wheel rim and seat
centres in Alcantara – in the Macan Turbo,
the adaptive Sports seats with 18-way
adjustment are completely upholstered
in leather. On request, you can refine
even more interior features of your
