I highly doubt it. I guess it also depends on when Porsche is scheduling a facelift for the Macan which is due in 2020. These specialty models only come out just prior to the change over so if they aren't planning a change by 2020 there is a chance but does anyone really need something like this? You can take a macan turbo and do a cobb and exhaust and have one hell of a fast truck now.

That article was written, reviewed, and approved by idiots. It is the product of people that couldn’t find an airbag by driving their Prius into a wall.

There is no evidence I can find that suggests the entire notion behind the article wasn’t the product of someone’s morning constitutional which was then the frame for a canvas of click bait.

That written, I like the notion. It doubt it will happen. If it does we probably wouldn’t get it in the U.S., and if we did, mortals wouldn’t be able to buy one.

I do really hope that the next Macan generation, that will include the ridiculous haptic touch-panel center console from the Panamera, is delayed until at least MY 2021.

While the concept will appeal to those who must have the "latest and greatest", to me, it's like giving a cat a holiday. What would you do with it? Most tracks prohibit SUV's/CUV's so it would be pure "overkill", a Café racer of sorts.

Concept seems a bit ridiculous but witness the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifioglio with 505hp and a better ‘Ring time than a 996 GT3 and all of a sudden it’s a little more possible.
