Additional power changes how the car drives in many situations. Not just straight line speed, but how the power come on and adds to the driving experience. While some may assume the Macan is just a midsize SUV it can be much more. Porsche builds driver focused cars. If you need current world example, test drive a Macan S then a Macan GTS back to back. Very different experience.

No doubt majority will be happy with Macan 4 EV. For those that want a more spirited driving experience upgrade to the Turbo if your budget allows. Coming from a Macan GTS, I’m going Macan EV Turbo.

You consider Macan 4 a Prius??
😂😂

Based on this Porsche would cease selling cars. My 911TT can abuse all the speed laws just like a “turbo” EV, but they sell a ton of those too.

It is a PORSCHE. I celebrate that, and if it has more than a ton of power, I double celebrate its mega power. If down the road Porsche comes out with a 750 HP Macan Turbo GT and some members here choose to buy it, bully for them!

Do you want to give one to your dealer, or is it for personal use?
It should be useful for distinguishing the Macan4 from the Prius.
Can’t wait september to test it with my new Macan EV!

the Macan EV turbo will be sickeningly quick. I drove a taycan GTS and it was ridiculous. This will be even quicker. My 600hp 2002 911TT (stock is 420 hp) is a turtle in comparison.

beye

Another league with those EVs!

I’m driving a Taycan Turbo S for the next few weeks.

Really too much power, and would prefer a governor that could limit torque/power and can be overridden for the autobahn.

I am going to wait for the EV Macan GTS. My current ride is ICE Macan GTS. Just test drove a Taycan GTS. For me. GTS is THE model to get.

TC Cruising

IF there a GTS Macan… The Macan GTS has 434 HP; the EV Turbo has 630 and the Turbo is faster to 60 MPH.

hopefully- the turbo is always the most powerful but not usually the best handling. I configured the 4 and turbo online to be as similar as possible and the difference is about US$20,000. That leaves space for an in between model with the GTS cosmetic and handling improvements and power somewhere in between.

TC Cruising

I do not know about comparative handling during the EV generation but sure agree that typically the GTS has enough power for 98% and very nice cosmetics.

jww

It looks like the journalists are starting to get their hands on it. I’m hoping reviews are imminently upon us.

Tomorrow it is going to start the party...
I have validated it with different sources.
So 🤞

You were right!
But this first one review is too short to be interesting:
