We could etch character in stone.
But we prefer more dynamic forms of expression.
Exterior design.
What makes a Porsche a Porsche? The
fact that it is instantly recognisable, some
would answer. Others might say it ’s the
face that stands out from the crowd.
Our engineers would say that it ’s the
Porsche DNA.
We’re referring to a design language that
has survived and described 65 years of
sports car evolution, whether in the wind
tunnel, on the racetrack, in minds or in
hearts. It gives every Porsche its own
unmistakable character. And our
development of it goes on.
The face alone of the Macan lays bare
the dominant sport y genes of its hereditary
line. The characteristic headlights are
integrated into the bonnet. The large,
imposing air intakes of the front apron are
just waiting to inhale life. Every single
second. The bonnet stretches through to the
wheel arches. This lends the front a
broad and powerful presence and
reminds us of the legendary Porsche 917,
which won countless victories in the
early 1970s – including at 24 Hours of

Le Mans, where it held the distance
record for 39 years.

The side profile is t ypically Porsche.
From this angle, every muscle appears
flexed – like a predator ready to pounce.
The roof line slopes distinctively down
towards the rear, drawing the customary
sports car contour that promises
excellent aerodynamics. Our designers
call it the Porsche flyline.
A visual highlight of the Macan is the
sideblades. Not only do they set a sport y
accent, their design pays homage to the
918 Spyder. They make the proportions
of the doors appear narrower and the
flanks seem much sleeker and sportier.
Sideblades are available with a Lava
Black paint finish, in the exterior colour
of the vehicle or – for a particularly
exclusive statement – in carbon.
In sizes of up to 21 inches, the wheels of
the Macan are equally eye- catching. The
particular Macan model that you see
before you is recognisable by its brake
calipers: silver- coloured on the S variants
and red on the Turbo. Typically Porsche.

For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.
Fitted as standard, 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) lets you experience
motorspor t-st yle gear changes, which
take place in milliseconds and with no
interruption in the flow of power. The
system also features a coasting mode,
which reduces fuel consumption and
emissions where the driving situation
allows. To this end, the auto start /stop
function, intelligent thermal management
and many more efficiency-enhancing
measures make a decisive contribution.
The steel spring suspension, fit ted as
standard, helps to provide the driving
precision and performance t ypical of any
Porsche. As an option (standard in the
Macan Turbo), it can be upgraded to
include optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM). At the
push of a but ton, the shock absorbers
respond even more precisely to the
current driving st yle. An air suspension is
available for even greater dynamic
performance and a high level of ride
comfort. With this suspension, the Macan
sits 15 mm lower. The three-position
ride-height adjustment capability enables you to adapt it optimally to the driving
situation.
Optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V Plus) lets you feel the Macan
principle in every corner – and in a
particularly intense way. Operating in
conjunction with an electronically
controlled rear differential lock, the
system works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels and
thereby significantly further improves
handling and steering precision. It also
increases the agilit y of the car when it
attacks the corner.
Naturally, active safet y also follows the
Macan principle – and, in doing so, fulfils
the requirements of a sports car.
Integrated as standard, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) helps to ensure
stabilit y at the limits of sport y
performance. Typically Porsche, the
brakes set standards for deceleration.
Optional driver assistance systems
relieve your workload so that you can
have more fun. Adaptive cruise control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)
regulates the speed of your vehicle in
line with the speed of the vehicle in
front. Lane Change Assist monitors your
blind spots, while Lane Keeping Assist
monitors your car’s distance to divider
line markings on the road.
Intensive living can also be measured in
bits and by tes, with Porsche Car
Connect for instance. Available as an
option, our comprehensive packages of
remote and PV TS (Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System) services provide you
with all the important information about
your Macan – not only when you’re
behind the wheel. Other digital
functionalities of the Macan include the
abilit y to log into social net works or
search for a Point of Interest and then
select it directly as your navigation
destination. Being highly net worked –
that, too, can be the principle of a
s p o r t s c a r.
So you see: for us, staying true to one’s
principles is essential. The principle of
power above all.

Macan Turbo30 | Life, intensified
Power package as standard.

Macan Turbo.
Must intensit y really have any limits? In
the areas of design, performance and
exclusivit y, we have at the very least
redefined them.

The distinctly muscular front apron, with
the side airblades of the conspicuously
large cooling air intakes, is found
nowhere else but on the Macan Turbo.
It ’s a visual promise of thrilling
performance. Bi-Xenon headlights with
dynamic cornering lights provide
optimum illumination of the road – and
therefore a high level of safet y. These
are supplemented by the extraordinary
four-spot LED day time running lights.
The Macan Turbo also stands out thanks
to its front spoiler lip, the design of
which is based on that of the 918 Spyder.
The direction indicators and position lights have been integrated in such a way
that they appear to hover inside the side
air intakes. Below them are the LEDs of
the fog lights. The sideblades are painted
in the exterior colour of the body.
SportDesign sideskirts underline the
powerful profile. Another t ypical feature
of the Turbo is the ‘Macan turbo’ logo on
the rear hatch.
Impressively, the 3.6-litre t win-turbo V6
engine delivers an enormous power
output of 294 kW (400 hp). The sprint
from 0 to 100 km/ h is completed in a
mere 4.8 seconds. Top speed is
266 km/ h. Those aren’t simply bare
numbers, but record figures for
performance in this segment. Not to
mention the very high degree of
efficiency.
19-inch Macan
Turbo wheels are fit ted
as standard. Behind these are the red
brake calipers of the large- diameter
brakes. The steel spring suspension is
equipped, as standard, with Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
which enhances both sport y
performance and ride comfort.
As standard, the Macan Turbo is
trimmed with the leather package, which
emphasises the exquisite qualit y of the
interior. Another highlight is Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
with navigation module and a large
touchscreen. It comes as standard, just
like the BOSE
® Surround Sound System.
Offering a total output of 545 wat ts and
with 14 loudspeakers including active
subwoofer, it delivers a special listening
experience.
The Macan Turbo. Performance in its
most intense form.

Macan S34 | Life, intensified
Pace car for the senses.

Macan S.
The ‘S’ principle has long been a tradition
as far as Porsche cars are concerned.
It represents an especially sport y inter -
pretation of a particular idea. It ’s a
promise of spine-tingling thrills and spills
– and omits any thing superfluous to the
spirit of sporty driving.
High performance, on the other hand,
is something that the Macan S would
never do without. Its 3.0-litre twin-turbo
V6 engine generates 250 kW (340 hp)
and helps it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
in only 5.4 seconds. Top speed is
254 km/ h. Figures to raise the hairs on
the neck of any sports car enthusiast. The Macan S is equipped with 18-inch
Macan S wheels. Its brake calipers are
silver-coloured. This high-performance
athlete is also recognisable by the
‘Macan S’ logo on the rear hatch – and
on the door sill guards in aluminium.
Inside, the sport y theme is epitomised by
the rev counter with silver- coloured dial
face. The CDR Plus audio system
integrated as standard features a high-
resolution 7-inch colour touchscreen
offering intuitive ease of use.
The sport y spirit can be intensified even
further with a range of options such as
the Sport Chrono Package. It includes the SPORT PLUS but ton, one press of
which tunes the engine for an even
sharper response. The chassis and
transmission also adapt their se-tup to
SPORT PLUS mode. The package
additionally comprises a stopwatch and
the Launch Control function for the
fastest possible acceleration from a
standing start, e.g. on a racetrack.
Another option is Porsche
Communication Management (PCM). In
this model, it is supplemented by a
performance display showing lap times
and other essential driving stats.

Macan S Diesel38 | Life, intensified
The new allure of a long-distance relationship.

Macan S Diesel.
Whoever actually said that intense
moments had to be so fleeting?
The Macan S Diesel provides a lasting
endorphin rush on long journeys.
On principle, we build every Porsche to
be as efficient as possible. This is
particularly true in the case of the
Macan S Diesel. The engine is a 3.0 -litre
V6 turbo diesel capable of delivering
190 kW (258 hp). Maximum torque is a
beefy 580 Nm. 0 to 100 km/ h takes
6.3 seconds. Impressive for a diesel.
Impressive for a sports car: relatively low
fuel consumption and emissions for such
power. That ’s partly down to the SCR system
(selective catalytic reduction). In
conjunction with a diesel particulate

filter, it provides an environmentally
friendly exhaust gas recirculation
solution.
The Macan S Diesel is identifiable by the
exterior ‘diesel’ logos on the front left
and right – and by the 18-inch Macan S
wheels and silver- coloured brake
calipers.
Interior features, including two-zone
automatic climate control, as well as the
high degree of storage flexibilit y are the ideal prerequisites for long drives. With
options such as an electrically extending
towbar system or roof rails, you can
ensure that the Macan S Diesel is even
better prepared.
The Macan S Diesel. Heart-pounding fun
that lasts the distance.

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

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.

Life can’t be truly intense without some twists and turns.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
Sports car makers adore corners. With
our technologies, we are forever fanning
the flames of the relationship. PT V Plus
is an optional system for enhancing both
driving dynamics and stability.
Operating in conjunction with an
electronically regulated rear differential
lock, it works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels. When the
car is driven into a corner, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel as the situation demands.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive
force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle’s vertical axis. The effect is a
direct and sport y steering action. And
considerable driving pleasure at every
t wist and turn. At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
Plus significantly increases agilit y and
steering precision. At high speeds on the
straight, and in fast corners where the
wheels threaten to spin, the electronically
controlled rear differential lock provides
added driving stability. Stability is also
improved on road surfaces with varying
grip as well as in the wet and snow.
Optional for all Macan models.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package adds a
stopwatch with an analogue and a digital
display to the cockpit. The performance
display in PCM lets you view a range of
driving stats, including your total driving
time, current lap distance and lap times
recorded so far. The lateral and
longitudinal forces acting on the vehicle
are illustrated by the G -Force graphic on
the colour screen in the instrument
c l u s t e r.The centre console also comes equipped
with the SPORT PLUS but ton, which is
used to activate SPORT PLUS mode. In
this mode, the engine becomes even
more responsive and the rev limiter is
adjusted to a harder set ting. Porsche
Traction Management (PTM) is now tuned
for even sportier performance. For cars
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), SPORT PLUS mode
results in harder damping and more
direct steering. In addition, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The
shift times of PDK, fit ted as standard,
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. The optional air suspension
automatically drops to Low Level. Launch
Control is primed to deliver optimum
acceleration from a standing start.

Optional for all Macan models.

Even if you take life as it comes, you can still be prepared.

Safety.
Bi-Xenon main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Bi-Xenon main headlights feature
automatic and dynamic range control,
which provides uniform illumination of the
road whether dipped or main beam is
selected. The dynamic cornering light
function swivels the headlights towards
the inside of a bend based on the
steering angle and road speed. The
static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate
more of the road at tight bends and
turns. Put simply, a greater part of the
road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. In addition, PDLS adjusts the range of
the dipped beams at higher speeds. An
adverse weather function reduces the
effect of reflection phenomena in poor
visibility conditions.
Standard in the Macan
Turbo. Optional for
all other Macan models.
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(P D L S+).
Optional PDLS+ offers t wo additional
functions. The dynamic main beam
feature adapts the headlight range to
oncoming traffic and to traffic in front.
Whenever you approach an intersection,
the Intersection Assistant activates the
static cornering lights on the left and right to widen the light cone. This
provides better illumination in the area
immediately around the vehicle, and you
see what ’s going on around you all the
sooner.
Optional for all Macan models.
Daytime running lights.
Daytime running lights are standard on all
models. On cars with halogen headlights,
this function is implemented by the inner
headlight. On cars with Bi-Xenon main
headlights, the stunning light source is
four LED spotlights in each headlight. The
benefit is clear. If other road users can
see you bet ter, day time driving becomes
a safer experience.

Taillights.
The three-dimensional design of the LED
taillights pays homage to the 918 Spyder
super sports car and lends an impressive
appearance of depth. At the same time,
they are especially responsive and
powerful – and that means added safet y.
In the event of panic braking, the
adaptive LED brake lights begin to
pulsate, alerting following traffic more
quickly to a critical situation. The third
brake light is integrated into the roof
spoiler.
