Porsche_US Macan-GTS_2016-2

There’s no freewheeling in life. It drives us to new things every day. Not going from A to B, but to the limit. To take it all in. And set yourself the challenge – 24 hours of each and every new day. As sports car manufacturers, we have this attitude in our blood. And we never stand still. We have driven the new Macan GTS in numerous tests on the race track so that in everyday life you can experience a new form of high performance. We have made it sharper to generate more endorphins. We have made the sound more resonant and intensive – a veritable feast for the ears. In brief, not a car for the faint-hearted. But a statement in design and performance. Here are the facts: an aggresive 360 hp and 369 lb.-ft. torque. The Macan GTS is equipt with air suspension that is 10-mm lower as standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and optional new LED main headlights, improving on an even edgier design. Those who like to live life to the full don’t make any compromises – inside or out: classic materials like leather and Alcantara® and the new high-quality Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with optional navigation module, online services and Apple CarPlay™ round off the overall image of a sports car that provides pure fascination. For a thrilling driving experience. Life in a Porsche that bears the letters GTS.

Those who carry the sports gene don’t stand still, they surge forward. That’s what we have done with the Macan S engine, getting another 20 hp and 30 lb.-ft. torque out of it. The result? Can be seen and heard: the highly efficient 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivers 360 hp. Torque: 369 lb.-ft. And the spurt from 0 to 60 mph is completed in just 5.0 seconds. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, it’s just 4.8 seconds. Top track speed: 159 mph. Sounds nothing like a compact SUV? Quite right. We do build sports cars after all. Active all-wheel drive places the power precisely and dynamically on the road. The standard 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) provides a sporty drive thanks to faster gear changes. 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). In the new Macan GTS, the 7-speed PDK changes gear in a fraction of a second, with no interruption in the flow of power. The advantage is that whenever a particular gear is engaged, the next gear is already preselected. While the clutch for the engaged gear is opening, the clutch for the intended gear is closing. This has the effect of making the drive feel more sporty, dynamic and agile. Sport Chrono Package. Two important parts of the Sport Chrono Package are a digital and analog stopwatch and the SPORT PLUS button. At the press of a button the engine becomes even more responsive. The rev limiter is adjusted to a harder setting. Shift times become even shorter, gear changes even sportier. Launch Control is primed to deliver optimum acceleration from a standing start.
