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.

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.

Power package as standard.

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.
The Macan Turbo. Performance in its
most intense form.

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.

Transmission50 | Dynamics
The love of the road
inspires some remarkably intense relationships.

Transmission.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
7-speed PDK, fit ted as standard in the
Macan models and featuring both a
manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – as well
as excellent driving dynamics and a high
degree of efficiency.
The principle of PDK is that, whenever a
particular gear is engaged, the next gear
is already preselected. As a result, gear
changes take place within milliseconds.
Automatic mode is optimised for fuel
economy. This means that PDK is able to
offer not only a sport y, agile driving feel,
but also increased efficiency. Would you rather change gear manually?

You can do this using the t wo gearshift
paddles on the multifunction sports
steering wheel, fit ted as standard, or
using the PDK gear selector.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. Additional gearshift
strategies are also available – for
uncompromising driving pleasure.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The tremendous dynamic performance
of the Macan is thanks in part to the
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled

multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake
differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation
(ASR). The electronically controlled multi-
plate clutch regulates the distribution of
drive force bet ween the rear axle and
the front axle. Driving conditions are
constantly monitored to enable a precise
and lightning-quick response to a variet y
of situations.
Sensors continuously check, among
other variables, the rotation speeds of all
four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration of the vehicle, and the
steering angle. If, for example, the rear
wheels threaten to spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
In short, PTM transfers the incredible
sportiness of the Macan to the road.
Behind the wheel, you can feel what it ’s
like to be driving a genuine sports car:
traction, driving safety, outstanding
steering behaviour, superior handling
and, of course, the excellent dynamics
t ypical of any Porsche.
