Macan principle28 | Life, intensified
For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.
Fitted as standard, 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) lets you experience
motorspor t-st yle gear changes, which
take place in milliseconds and with no
interruption in the flow of power. The
system also features a coasting mode,
which reduces fuel consumption and
emissions where the driving situation
allows. To this end, the auto start /stop
function, intelligent thermal management
and many more efficiency-enhancing
measures make a decisive contribution.
The steel spring suspension, fit ted as
standard, helps to provide the driving
precision and performance t ypical of any
Porsche. As an option (standard in the
Macan Turbo), it can be upgraded to
include optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM). At the
push of a but ton, the shock absorbers
respond even more precisely to the
current driving st yle. An air suspension is
available for even greater dynamic
performance and a high level of ride
comfort. With this suspension, the Macan
sits 15 mm lower. The three-position
ride-height adjustment capability enables you to adapt it optimally to the driving
situation.
Optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V Plus) lets you feel the Macan
principle in every corner – and in a
particularly intense way. Operating in
conjunction with an electronically
controlled rear differential lock, the
system works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels and
thereby significantly further improves
handling and steering precision. It also
increases the agilit y of the car when it
attacks the corner.
Naturally, active safet y also follows the
Macan principle – and, in doing so, fulfils
the requirements of a sports car.
Integrated as standard, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) helps to ensure
stabilit y at the limits of sport y
performance. Typically Porsche, the
brakes set standards for deceleration.
Optional driver assistance systems
relieve your workload so that you can
have more fun. Adaptive cruise control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)
regulates the speed of your vehicle in
line with the speed of the vehicle in
front. Lane Change Assist monitors your
blind spots, while Lane Keeping Assist
monitors your car’s distance to divider
line markings on the road.
Intensive living can also be measured in
bits and by tes, with Porsche Car
Connect for instance. Available as an
option, our comprehensive packages of
remote and PV TS (Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System) services provide you
with all the important information about
your Macan – not only when you’re
behind the wheel. Other digital
functionalities of the Macan include the
abilit y to log into social net works or
search for a Point of Interest and then
select it directly as your navigation
destination. Being highly net worked –
that, too, can be the principle of a
s p o r t s c a r.
So you see: for us, staying true to one’s
principles is essential. The principle of
power above all.

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.

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.

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.
