Porsche has added the new Macan T positioned between the base Macan and sporty Macan S.
The Macan T is positioned between the base Macan and sporty Macan S, and features the former's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4. The engine delivers a peak 261 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, and is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel-drive system. Porsche's Sport Chrono Package, which adds a steering wheel-mounted drive mode selector, is also included. Performance claims include 0-60 mph acceleration in 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 144 mph.
According to Porsche, the inline-4 reduces weight on the front axle by 129 pounds compared to the V-6-equipped Macan S and Macan GTS, making the Macan T feel more agile. And to further aid handling, Porsche includes active dampers as standard. The automaker has also tuned the traction control system, giving it a bias for more power distribution at the rear axle.
Buyers will also have the option to add air suspension, in which case the Macan T will also feature stiffer anti-roll bars specific to the model. Porsche's brake-based Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus system, designed to apply extra braking force on the inside rear wheel during cornering, is also available.Standard design elements include 20-inch wheels, as well as body accents in a dark finish known as Agate Gray.
