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.
