As the sports car of the compact SUV segment, the Macan has been setting standards in terms of driving dynamics since its debut and now Porsche is upping the ante once again. Equipped with the Performance Package, the Macan Turbo now tops off the model line, impressing with enhanced driving properties, increased agility and an even greater emotional appeal.After the performance enhancement, the twin-turbocharged, 3.6-litre V6 engine delivers 440bhp. With 40bhp more than the Macan Turbo, this figure places the new variant firmly in the top spot of this model line. The car now accelerates from zero to 100 kmph in just 4.4 seconds (a reduction of 0.4 seconds), and achieves a new top speed of 272 kmph (an increase of 6 km/h).
The maximum torque has also risen to 600 Nm (an increase of 50 Nm) and is available to the driver across a broad rev range of between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm. This also increases the tractive force – in Sport Plus mode, the time taken to accelerate from 80 km/h to 120 km/h has dropped to 2.9 seconds (a reduction of 0.2 seconds).However, it is not just the engine power that is given a boost in the Macan Turbo equipped with the Performance Package – a newly developed brake system, lowered body, controlled sports chassis, Sport Chrono Package, better brakes and sports exhaust system are all fitted as standard. The Macan Turbo with Performance Package is available for order now. In India the new top model costs INR 1.29 crores (ex showroom Maharashtra).
