LEIPZIG: The Porsche plant in Leipzig recently produced its one millionth Macan, and the milestone anniversary vehicle is a Macan 4 in the striking colour Frozen Blue Metallic.
The car’s equipment highlights include a two-tone leather interior in Black and Chalk, Adaptive Sports Seats, a heated GT Sports leather steering wheel, a head-up display with augmented reality technology, and a panoramic roof.
Thanks to its overboost power output of up to 300kW (408hp), the Macan 4 accelerates from 0 to 100kph in 5.2 seconds and goes on to reach a top speed of up to 220kph.
The model features a powerful high-voltage battery with a gross energy content of 100kWh, providing a range of up to 612km.
A charging capacity of 270 kW, on compatible 800-volt DC charging points, enables the battery to be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in 21 minutes.
The car was handed over recently to its new owner, Stefan Schmidt from Kiel in Germany, at the Porsche Experience Center Leipzig, which is located at the factory.
“I find the Macan thrilling because of its sporty features combined with its everyday usability,” says the 62-year-old entrepreneur.
The factory collection of new cars in Leipzig includes a test drive on the factory’s own racetrack in an identical model.
Here, customers can get to know their new vehicle under the expert guidance of an instructor and experience how it behaves at the limit.
“Collecting the car from the factory here in Leipzig, as well as experiencing the track with its corners based on those from other famous circuits, are definitely highlights. Today I truly felt the passion of the Porsche brand up close,” says Schmidt.
The site also includes a Porsche Experience Centre with a racetrack and off-road course.
The compact SUV has been manufactured in the city since 2013.
