About 2015 Porsche Macan The 2015 Porsche Macan is poised to set new standards in the field of driving dynamics and enjoyment -- on both pavement and off road trails. The Macan combines the typical handling characteristics that Porsche has represented right from the start: highly competitive acceleration and braking figures, impressive engine power, extreme agility and optimum steering precision. All of these features are combined with a high level of comfort and everyday drivability. The wraparound hood and gently sloping roof line accentuate the overall impression of sporty elegance and powerful dynamics. Many of the design elements have been taken from other Porsche sports cars and enhanced for the Macan, making it clear at first glance that the Porsche Macan heralds the first sports car in the compact SUV segment. The Macan S is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin turbo engine delivering 340 horsepower and features active all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled, multi-plate clutch. A seven-speed double-clutch transmission transfers power as required and almost without any interruption in tractive force, enabling the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds (or 5.0 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). The Macan S reaches a top track speed of 156 mph. Macan Turbo is set to be the most powerful vehicle in the compact SUV segment. The 3.6-liter V6 twin turbo engine, which is being used in a Porsche model for the very first time, achieves an unrivaled 400 hp and catapults the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. With the Sport Chrono package, it is possible to achieve such a speed in 4.4 seconds. The Macan Turbo top track speed is 164 mph. Off-road mode comes standard in the Macan, which is activated by pressing a button in the center console at a speed of between 0 and 50 mph.
