Porsche India has added a Performance Package to the Macan Turbo. Now, the flagship model in Macan’s line-up is priced at Rs 1.4 crore (ex-showroom Mumbai).
The ‘sports car of the compact SUV’ segment as Porsche likes to call it; the Macan truly stands true to its claims. Powered by a 3.6-litre V6 petrol it churns out 434bhp(+30bhp as compared to the basic variant) and 600Nm(+50Nm) of torque, also, the performance package sheds the 0-100kmph time by 0.4 seconds and achieves a higher top speed by 6kmph at 272kmph, as compared to the Turbo variant. In the Sport Plus mode, the rolling acceleration time also drops by 0.2 seconds (between 80kmph to 120kmph).
Mechanical changes include an upgraded braking system with colossal 390mm diameter brakes (larger by 30mm), a lowered body by 15mm (with Porsche Active Suspension Management), ECU controlled chassis and a sports exhaust system. Porsche’s Sport Chrono package is added as well, which allows for better gearshifts from the 7-speed PDK box and an even sportier exhaust note.
Cosmetic add-ons include the Turbo exterior package which gets you 21-inch 911 design wheels, LED headlamps with PDLS plus and several black-finish panels. On the inside, it gets an all-black theme with Alcantara elements.
The Macan Turbo with Performance Package is now on sale at all Porsche dealerships across the country.
