Increased performance, uprated chassis, distinctive style
Porsche Macan GTS – the thoroughbred sports car among SUVs
The new Macan GTS distinguishes itself with a driving experience that surpasses
even that for which the Porsche compact SUV has become renowned. A re-
engineered chassis, 20 hp more power and uprated brakes are among the dynamic
GTS attributes keen drivers will appreciate. Styling highlights featuring typical
Porsche GTS motifs complete the distinctive road presence.
In terms of performance, the 360 hp petrol engine with 500 Nm of pulling power
places the GTS between the Macan S and the Macan Turbo in the range line-up. The
technical basis for this is the 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 of the Macan S,
supplemented by the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) seven-speed transmission and
Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with variable power distribution to all four
wheels. A sports exhaust system gives an aural clue to the potency of the heart
beating within.
A more sporting state of tune has been applied to the Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), which also offers a 15mm lowered ride height. The 20-inch
diameter RS Spyder design alloy wheels finished in matt black paint complete the
dynamic focus of the GTS. Incidentally, the wider tyres on the rear axle that are a
unique feature of every Macan chassis, also provide a particularly purposeful
stance to the new model.

Outstanding Porsche dynamic ability combined with characteristic day-to-day
versatility are offered by the Macan GTS; 0-62 mph acceleration is possible in 5.2
secs, just 5.0 secs with the optional Sport Chrono package. Top speed is 160
mph. This is balanced by fuel economy of up to 31.4 mpg Combined and CO2
emissions of 212 g/km.
Inside, the athletic style continues with ‘GTS’ sport seats with Alcantara centre
panels, and additional Alcantara interior trim. The new Porsche Communication
Management with a touch-screen monitor, extended functionality and increased
operating comfort first seen in the next generation 911 now celebrates its debut
in the Macan. The range of connectivity and infotainment versatility can be
extended further with key options, which includes satellite navigation. Together
with the optional Connect Plus module, the multi-touch monitor offers
online navigation with real-time traffic information and smartphone
integration via Apple CarPlay®.
The Macan GTS can be recognised at first glance by exterior accents in black –
in high gloss above the waistline and in a lustrous matt finish in the lower areas
of the body. This is further complemented by a special version of the Sport
Design styling package in GTS-specific colouring. For the first time, the Macan
GTS is also available with LED headlights as an option which extend the range of
illumination of the road under all conditions.
Together, these special qualities position the new Macan GTS as offering
increased dynamic ability as well as further emphasising the traditional Porsche
brand attributes. As a result, the GTS supports the claim that the Macan is the
sports car in the compact SUV market segment.
The Macan GTS goes on sale in the UK and Ireland from 28 October, 2015, priced
from £55,188 RRP.
Standard equipment on every Macan GTS includes Porsche Traction Management
(PTM), seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) double-clutch transmission,
