Porsche's Macan Turbo gets an update

By RELAXNEWS | 30 August 2019


STUTTGART: Despite Porsche launching the Macan S in December with the company's "sport" designation, the new Macan Turbo's updated engine has power that outshines the athletic compact SUV by 80hp.

Though the 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine of this Turbo generation may be smaller than the previous iteration's 3.6-litre V6, it puts out nearly 40hp more power. This upgrade allows the car to reach a top speed of 270kph — for comparision, the Macan S goes up to 254kph — and accelerate from 0 to 100kph (with the Sport Chrono Package) in 4.3 seconds.

The chassis has been optimised for a more dynamic experience, and Porsche's highly sensitive Surface Coated Brakes come standard as do new 20-inch Macan Turbo wheels.

The exterior has been restyled with a unique front apron exclusive to the new Turbo variant and a double-winger fixed roof spoiler. Thanks to the three large air intakes in the front and the sport exhaust system with silver twin tailpipes in the back, any onlooker will be able to identify this particular Macan as the segment-leading Turbo.

On the inside, the 2020 Macan Turbo is equipped with 18-way sports seats finished in leather and a Bose Surround Sound System. The dashboard is outfitted with a 10.9-inch full HD touchscreen display which supports voice-control and online navigation with live traffic information.

To top things off, owners can opt for a wireless charging smartphone cradle, a heated windscreen, and an ioniser to improve interior air quality.

The new Macan Turbo is available to order now, starting at US$83,600 (RM353,000).
