Engine46 | Dynamics
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, DFI injects
fuel at up to 200 bar directly into the
combustion chamber by means of

electromagnetically actuated injection
valves. The spray and cone angles have
been optimised for torque, power output,
fuel consumption and emissions by
enabling a homogeneous distribution of
the air/fuel mixture and, therefore,
effective combustion. DFI improves the
internal cooling of the combustion
chamber by having the mixture prepared
directly in the cylinder. This allows for a
higher compression ratio, which helps to
deliver greater power output at the same
time as enhanced engine efficiency.
Common-rail diesel injection system.
In the Macan S Diesel, fuel is directly
injected by a common-rail injection
system. The injection pressure of up to
2,000 bar ensures effective mixture
formation and enhanced dynamic
performance. Piezo-controlled injectors
enable a flexible injection process with multiple injections taking place per
stroke and delivering fuel in the exact
amounts required for smooth
combustion.
Thermal management.
Engine cooling is prevented during the
initial stages of a cold start so that the
engine reaches its optimum operating
temperature faster. This means it can
begin working at high efficiency sooner,
thereby consuming less fuel.
Active aerodynamics.
The radiator grille shut ter opens the
cooling air flaps only as needed.
Whenever the cooling requirement is low,
such as on relaxed drives, the radiator
grille shut ter closes. Aerodynamics are
improved, which helps to improve fuel
economy. If, for example, a sport y
driving st yle is adopted and the demand
for power increases, the cooling air flaps
will open and let in the necessary amount
of cooling air for increased driving
performance.
O il supp ly.
The integrated dry-sump lubrication of the
V6 petrol engines guarantees a reliable
supply of oil in all driving situations. The
oil reservoir is located directly inside the
engine, which saves on space and weight.

An electronically controlled oil pump
provides the correct amount of oil as and
when needed. Optimised for sport y
driving, it ensures optimum engine
lubrication even in extreme situations.

Exhaust turbocharging.
The V6 t win-turbo engines are equipped
with t wo turbochargers arranged in
parallel – one for each cylinder bank.
Intake air is compressed and then fed to
the engine via the respective charge-air
cooler. This cooling process achieves
t wo things: high cylinder charge and low
component temperatures.
Electrical system recuperation.
To enhance efficiency, the electrical
system in the Macan models is recharged
on demand during engine overrun
phases. Fuel consumption is thereby
reduced, while the full power output of
the engine is made available for
acceleration phases. You won’t notice
any thing of the process itself, except for
the results: optimum power and torque
with lower fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions.
SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton, which is fit ted as
standard, enables you to select a set-up
that favours either comfort or sport y
performance. At the push of a but ton,
the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer an even sharper response and
engine dynamics that are more direct.
SCR system.
The SCR system (selective cataly tic
reduction) in the Macan S Diesel works in
conjunction with a diesel particulate filter
and AdBlue
® technology to provide an
environmentally friendly exhaust gas
recirculation solution and a significant
reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions.
AdBlue
® is a replenishable liquid added
to a separate tank.
Sports tailpipes.
Sports tailpipes are available for your
Macan on request. The t win dual-tube
tailpipes are specially designed and
feature a highly polished chrome-plated
stainless steel finish, also available in
chrome-plated black. A sporty statement
that is visually unmistakable.

Optional for all Macan models.
Sports exhaust system.
The optional sports exhaust system
delivers an even more resonant sound.
The chromium-plated sports tailpipes –
available in a choice of silver colour or
black – are a treat for both the eyes and
the ears.
Optional for all Macan models.

Transmission50 | Dynamics
The love of the road
inspires some remarkably intense relationships.

Transmission.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
7-speed PDK, fit ted as standard in the
Macan models and featuring both a
manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – as well
as excellent driving dynamics and a high
degree of efficiency.
The principle of PDK is that, whenever a
particular gear is engaged, the next gear
is already preselected. As a result, gear
changes take place within milliseconds.
Automatic mode is optimised for fuel
economy. This means that PDK is able to
offer not only a sport y, agile driving feel,
but also increased efficiency. Would you rather change gear manually?

You can do this using the t wo gearshift
paddles on the multifunction sports
steering wheel, fit ted as standard, or
using the PDK gear selector.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. Additional gearshift
strategies are also available – for
uncompromising driving pleasure.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The tremendous dynamic performance
of the Macan is thanks in part to the
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled

multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake
differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation
(ASR). The electronically controlled multi-
plate clutch regulates the distribution of
drive force bet ween the rear axle and
the front axle. Driving conditions are
constantly monitored to enable a precise
and lightning-quick response to a variet y
of situations.
Sensors continuously check, among
other variables, the rotation speeds of all
four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration of the vehicle, and the
steering angle. If, for example, the rear
wheels threaten to spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
In short, PTM transfers the incredible
sportiness of the Macan to the road.
Behind the wheel, you can feel what it ’s
like to be driving a genuine sports car:
traction, driving safety, outstanding
steering behaviour, superior handling
and, of course, the excellent dynamics
t ypical of any Porsche.

Weight saving.
Those who enjoy life are bound to
be more light-hearted than others.
The axles of the Macan models are
characterised by purposeful lightweight
construction with the use of lighter,
more stable materials. The results are
excellent driving dynamics, a high degree
of comfort and low fuel consumption.
Suspension tuning.
The suspension is tuned for sport y per -
formance by default – t ypically Porsche.
With a series of optional systems ranging
from uncompromisingly sporty to sporty-
comfortable, you can adapt the suspen -
sion tuning of the Macan perfectly to
your needs.
Air suspension.
For a high level of comfort and
tremendous dynamic performance, you
have the option of an air suspension
including PASM. With this set-up, the car
is 15 mm lower than with the steel spring
suspension. The effect? Improved
aerodynamics. The self-levelling function
helps to keep the ride height constant.
A ride-height adjustment capability
enables you to switch the ground
clearance to three levels: Terrain Level,
Normal Level and Low Level. At Terrain
Level, the car is 40 mm above Normal
Level; at Low Level, 10 mm below it.
Loading Level is especially practical:
from Normal Level, the rear end of the
body lowers 40 mm to make it easier
to load the car. This function is operated
by means of a but ton in the luggage
compartment.
Optional for all Macan models.
Steel spring suspension.
The steel spring suspension is
standard in all Macan models. Not only
does
it fulfil exacting requirements
for performance and driving pleasure,
it contributes to enhanced driving
dynamics, lower fuel consumption and
increased ride comfort.
The steel spring suspension in the
Macan Turbo is additionally equipped
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system. It actively and continuously
adjusts damping force based on current
road conditions and driving st yle. When a car is driven off-road or
assertively in a manner that demands
hard acceleration and braking, the forces
acting on the car will normally induce
perceptible body movements. PASM
intervenes in these situations to reduce
them. You can select from three modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘SPORT’ and ‘SPORT PLUS’.
PASM is permanently active, adapting
automatically to the current driving
situation with the aim of increasing
driving stability and comfort.
Standard in Macan
Turbo. Optional for all
other Macan models.
How should such intensity be brought to the road?
Our engineers have some specific ideas.

OFF-ROAD button.
Would you like to try roads that aren’t
actually there? A but ton on the centre
console sets your Macan to OFF-ROAD
mode. All relevant systems switch to a
traction- optimised program for off-road
terrain. The optional air suspension
including PASM automatically adjusts to
Terrain Level. In addition, optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
and Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
– integrated as standard – optimally
adapt their set-up for off-road use,
delivering improved driveability and
safety.
PTM, which is also fit ted as standard,
provides a fully variable distribution of
drive force bet ween the front and rear axles – up to 100
% if necessary. This
delivers a crucial increase in traction and
driving safety.
Standard in all Macan models.
Porsche Hill Control (PHC).
A but ton on the centre console enables
you to activate Porsche Hill Control
(PHC), which keeps your speed constant
on downhill gradients. You can set any
speed bet ween 3 and 30 km/ h.
Standard in all Macan models.
Steering.
The steering has been engineered for
sporty and immediate handling. The
tuning of the electromechanical steering
system is what makes the Macan models
so extraordinarily agile. It also contributes to low fuel
consumption. As there is no hydraulic
system constantly drawing power, energy
is consumed only when the steering is
turned.
Power steering Plus.
Optional Power steering Plus is a speed-
sensitive power steering system. At high
speeds, the steering firms up and
responds with greater precision, while
steering comfort remains outstanding. At
low speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for
easy manoeuvring and parking.
On the odd occasion,

even a Porsche doesn’t seem out of place.

The wheel was invented 5,000 years ago.
Seems only now it’s hitting the big time.
Mixed tyres.
As with any genuine sports car, the
Macan is equipped with wider t yres at
the rear – just like the 911. The visual
impact is not the only effect: the larger
footprint at the rear improves both
stabilit y and traction and also enhances
agilit y for intensified contact with the
road.
Wheels.
For the wheels, too, every thing revolves
around sport y performance – and st yle.
Accordingly, the Macan serves up some
impressive numbers: the wheels look
exceptionally large, with optional sizes up
to 21 inches.
What they all have in common is their
aluminium construction, which saves weight and increases agilit y. That ’s
particularly true of the forged 21-inch
wheels.
The Macan S and Macan S Diesel

are equipped, as standard, with 18-inch
Macan S wheels. The Macan Turbo is
fit ted with 19-inch Macan Turbo wheels

as standard.
Ty r e s .
All t yres have been optimised for driving
performance, handling, rolling resistance
and weight. The rubber compound, tread
pat tern and the carcass architecture have
been designed for the least rolling
resistance possible in order to reduce
fuel consumption.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring sends warnings
to the on-board computer’s display
screen in the event of low t yre pressure
or a gradual or sudden loss of pressure.
The multifunction display in the
instrument cluster gives you a quick and
convenient way to check your t yre
pressures.

You aren’t usually so quick to brake.
Brakes.
At Porsche, we also set ourselves high
standards for braking performance. So it
goes without saying that our brake
systems are super-sized and adapted to
the high power output of the engine.
At the front, the Macan models are
equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers. The brake
discs are internally vented for consistently
high braking power, even during
continuous use.
To cope with the performance capabilit y
of the Macan models, the brake discs
fit ted to the front axle are up to 360 mm
in diameter. The brake calipers of the Macan S Diesel
and Macan S are silver- coloured. On the
Macan Turbo – red.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
As an option, you can have your Macan
equipped with the track-proven Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).
The cross- drilled ceramic brake discs
have a diameter of 396 mm at the front
axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the
rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and
30 mm thick.
Their low thermal expansion prevents
deformation under heavy braking.
Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are
totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping
properties.
The key advantage is that the brake
discs are approximately 50
% lighter than
standard discs of similar design and size.
Enhanced performance and fuel economy
are not the only noticeable benefits:
above all, it represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses. The
results are improved handling, bet ter
roadholding and increased ride comfort.
Optional for all Macan models.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an electronic control system that
maintains stability – and increases
driving safet y – even at the limits of
sporty performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration. PSM
actively intervenes to
stabilise the vehicle when necessary by
strategically applying the brakes at
individual wheels. That ’s not all. If the
driver suddenly releases the accelerator
pedal, PSM primes the brake system for
a higher state of readiness. Maximum
braking power is therefore achieved
much sooner. The integral anti-lock
braking system (ABS) is optimised for
short braking distances.
Standard in all Macan models.

Efficiency.
The basic premise of any Porsche is
power. It ’s been that way ever since
1948. But there has always been another
principle: efficiency. Again, since 1948.
We remain commit ted to both, and we
always will.
In addition to our pursuit of efficient
engine technologies, such as the
turbochargers used across the model
range, we routinely rely on innovative,
lightweight materials, we are constantly
developing our production techniques
and functionalities and, as we do so, we
are continuously refining our concepts.
How does this benefit you as the driver?
Greater agilit y with increased dynamic
performance – and lower fuel
consumption. Now that’s efficiency.
Exhaust emissions.
The Macan once again demonstrates that
even high-performance sports cars can
achieve comparatively moderate
emission values. The state-of-the-art
engines of the Macan model range reach
their optimum operating temperature
soon after start-up, thanks to the rapid
heating of the catalytic converter
system. Emissions are thereby reduced,
while t yres optimised for low rolling
resistance play their part by lowering fuel
consumption. All models in the Macan
range fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard.
The petrol models are equipped with
stereo Lambda control circuits. These
are used by the electronic engine
management system to determine the
optimum amount of fuel for effective
emission control.

Living for today, in the here and now.
But always caring about tomorrow.

Environment.
Emission control in the Macan S Diesel is
realised by the interaction of a diesel
particulate filter and the SCR system.
AdBlue
® technology helps to achieve a
significant reduction in nitrogen oxide
emissions.
Fuel and fuel consumption.
Doing more with comparatively less –
another philosophy that the Macan
models live and breathe. The petrol
models are designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to 10%.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance because this biofuel is
manufactured from plants, which absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere in order to
grow.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

Environment70 | Instinct
Fuel system.
In the petrol models, even the emissions
of the fuel system itself are minimised
for the protection of the environment.
Evaporative emissions are significantly
reduced by the returnless supply system.
Vapour-carrying lines are made from
multi-layered plastic, while a high- capacit y
active carbon filter and the fuel tank also
feature a multi-layered construction in
order to make every thing as impermeable
as possible.
Noise reduction.
The characteristic Porsche sound may
drive our passion, but acoustics is yet
another area in which we continuously
strive for optimisation.
Stiff components and light weight,
temperature-stable materials minimise
play bet ween parts and therefore
mechanical noise. Voluminous silencers
and air induction systems reduce noise
levels further – and that ’s over the
course of the entire service life. In collaboration with t yre manufacturers,
we are managing to reduce the rolling
noise of t yres, while aerodynamic
refinements keep wind noise as low as
possible. What ’s left? The Porsche sound,
pure and simple.
Servicing.
Long-life and hard-wearing materials
reduce maintenance items to a minimum.
At the time of an oil filter change, for
example, only the recycling-friendly
paper insert needs to be exchanged and
not the entire housing.
Moving parts are adjusted automatically,
e.g. by hydraulic valve clearance
compensation.
The use of individual ignition coils in
petrol engines makes the entire ignition
system, except for the spark plugs, wear-
and maintenance-free. Advantage for
you? If it doesn’t need replacing, it
doesn’t need to be disposed of. Not only
does this support the responsible
handling of resources and a caring
at titude towards the environment, it
saves you time and money.
The maintenance intervals of the Macan
models nevertheless depend on various
factors, including the local fuel grade.
For exact information, please refer to the
price list published in your country or
consult your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
A Porsche is a source of long-lasting
pleasure for our customers and a
refreshing change for their environment.
This Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainability.
Here’s just one example: the exhaust
system of the Macan models is made
from extremely corrosion-resistant
stainless steel – and purposefully
manufactured on the principles of
lightweight construction. In addition, our cars are free from CFCs and parts
manufactured with the use of CFCs. In
all, they are over 95
% recoverable.
Naturally, all statutory recycling
requirements are fulfilled. The labelling of
materials facilitates future sorting for
excellent recycling.
On the subject of recycling, there is
plent y of time before it is even needed.
Two -thirds of all Porsche cars ever built
are still being driven today. What bet ter
way to conserve resources?
