During a recent media program in Singapore, Porsche showed off a special Macan Turbo with the Performance Package and unique Porsche-Motorsport-themed livery.
The mixture of black, red, silver, and white along the body is reminiscent of the color scheme that Porsche uses on the 919 Hybrid and 911 RSR. It’s a neat idea to paint the range-topping Macan like a racer, but this livery is somewhat boring. We would like to see the little crossover in the famous Gulf design or maybe in J?germeister’s burnt orange
The Macan Turbo with the Performance Pack is the hottest variant of the crossover yet. Its biturbo 3.6-liter V6 packs 440 horsepower (324 kilowatts) and 442 pound-feet (600 Newton-meters), which is by 40 hp (29 kW) and 36 lb-ft (49 Nm) better than the standard Turbo. The extra output shaves the sprint to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) to 4.2 seconds – 0.2 seconds quicker than usual. Top speed also jumps 5 mph (8 kph) to 169 mph (272 kph).
In addition to the extra engine output, the Performance Pack improves the Macan’s capabilities in other ways. The front brakes feature 15.3-inch (390mm discs), an increase of 1.1 inches (30 mm), and red-painted brake six-piston calipers. The air suspension sits 0.4 inches (10 mm) lower. The Sport Chrono Package and a new exhaust system come with these upgrades, too.
