The Porsche Macan series today welcomed a new member of the family, the Macan T, which will be officially released and pre-sale soon, with an official retail price of 618,000. It is understood that the new car will make its Asian debut at the Beijing Auto Show.
It should be known that the models with "T" under Porsche are generally two-door models, which represent a unique dynamic driving experience of Porsche, such as the most familiar Porsche 718 T series and the 911 T model launched by Porsche in the early years. The Macan T was Porsche's first four-door model to bear the name T, and this time the T stands for "Touring" travel. Officially, the meaning of this name is that the T series models have a more efficient engine and precise tuning, as well as a unique configuration, which can bring consumers a more extreme and pure driving experience.

But then again, whether this Macan T can improve much power on the basis of the ordinary version of the model, this still has to wait until the test drive in the experience, after all, the Positioning of the Macan T is between the Macan and the Macan S, so it is better to see what you can get by spending more than 60,000 more than the standard version of the Macan.
First of all, unfortunately, the Macan T's 2.0T turbo engine mated to a 7-speed PDK transmission is the same as the standard Macan. In terms of parameters, the maximum power of 265 horsepower and the peak torque of 400 Nm are also in line with the standard version of the Macan, although the four-wheel drive system is still equipped.
Exterior interiors are designed exclusively
The Macan T offers up to 13 solid colors, special colors and metallic paints, and is accented with onyx grey metallic elements on the front, sides and rear of the body, which is an exclusive design that sets it apart from other Macan models. In addition, this unique contrasting colour can be found on the front trim, exterior mirrors, wing panels, roof spoilers and rear markings. Shiny black sports endpipe and side window trims and a 20-inch Macan S hub are standard, with the Macan T's black logo on the side fenders.
The Interior Of which, the Macan T is aligned with the current Macan, including a new center console with glass shape and touch-sensitive surfaces, a 10.9-inch touch display with fully connected Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and online navigation.
However, the Macan T comes standard with a Sport Chrono timer including a multifunctional GT heated sports steering wheel and instrument panel, with black leather components, a Sport-Tex stripe pattern in the center of the outside of the front and rear seats, and a Porsche coat of arms on the front seat headrests. Race-Tex fabrics and a multifunctional GT sports steering wheel with carbon fiber trim and air purification ionizer are available as options.
But what you can get is, specially tuned chassis
The Macan T is the only model to use steel suspension as standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a 15 mm lower body. Tougher anti-roll bars on the front axle and a chassis that have been re-optimised, more inclined to porsche traction management (PTM) for rear axle torque output. In addition, the new car will include a Sport Response component and a mode switch as standard.
It is worth mentioning that for the first time, Porsche has also equipped the 2.0T four-cylinder Macan model with an adaptive air suspension option with active suspension management system (PASM), which can reduce the body height by 10 mm, and can also optionally install the Torque Steering System Plus (PTV Plus), which can further enhance the driving experience.
One thing to say, such a wave of operations only increased the Zero Hundred Acceleration of the Macan T by 0.2 seconds compared to the ordinary version of the model, at 6.2 seconds, and the top speed was 232km/h, which felt that there was no stimulation from the old Cool R of the Car Cloud Bacteria.
Che Yun summary
Friends who know Porsche must know that when buying its models, more or less have to carry out some options, so the price of the ordinary version of The Macan 500,000 is almost the same as the price of some configurations as long as you simply select some configurations, so if you look at it, there is a special tuning and exclusive design of the Macan T seems to be quite attractive, although the improvement in the power part is not large, but for the Macan user group, the power part is not what they are most concerned about. And in the appearance of a more personalized collocation and the tail label of the extra letter "T", can make the users of this car show their own difference, so much to spend the price difference of more than 60,000 is still worth it.
