독일 포르쉐가 9월 1일, 마칸(Macan) 라인업의 최강 버전인 마칸 터보 퍼포먼스 패키지를 공개했다. 마칸 터보를 바탕으로 엔진, 브레이크, 섀시 등을 강화한 고성능 버전이다.
변화의 핵심은 V6 3.6리터 트윈 터보 엔진 튠업을 비롯한 성능 향상이다. 엔진의 최고출력을 440마력으로 터보보다 40마력 올렸고 최대토크는 61.2kgm으로 5.1kgm 강화했다. 결과적으로 0-100km/h 가속시간이 4.4초로 0.2초 줄었으며 최고속은 272km/h로 6km/h 향상되었다. 연비는 NEDC 기준으로 약 10.3~10.6km/L 수준에 이른다.
엔진 튠업과 함께 새로 개발한 브레이크 시스템도 장착되었다. 프런트 브레이크 디스크의 지름을 마칸 터보보다 30mm 확대해 390mm까지 키웠고 붉은 컬러의 6피스톤 캘리퍼를 달았다. 그 외에 포르쉐 전자식 가변 댐퍼(PASM)와 스포츠 크로노 패키지, 스포츠 배기 시스템 등 주행성능 향상을 위한 장비들을 기본으로 챙겼다. 또한 21인치 911 터보 휠, LED를 이용한 다이내믹 헤드램프 플러스, 카본 디테일 부품 등을 옵션으로 제공한다.
포르쉐 마칸 터보 퍼포먼스 패키지의 정식 판매는 올 하반기부터 이뤄질 전망이며 독일 현지가는 9만 1,142유로로 마칸 터보(8만 3,753유로)보다 7,389유로 더 비싸다.
Atlanta, Georgia. As the sports car of the compact SUV segment, the Macan has been setting standards in terms of driving dynamics since it made its debut. Now, Porsche is upping the ante: equipped with the Performance Package, the Macan Turbo now sits at the top of the model line, highlighting increased power and agility, with an exclusive interior package.
The newly calibrated twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 engine delivers 440 hp. With 40 more horsepower than the Macan Turbo, the Performance Package offers a corresponding performance improvement of 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds (a reduction of 0.2 seconds), and a new top track speed of 169 mph (an increase of 5 mph). The maximum torque has also risen to 442 lb.-ft. (an increase of 36 lb.-ft.) and is available to the driver across a broad rev range from 1500 to 4500 rpm.
However, it is not just engine power that is given a boost in the Performance Package equipped Macan Turbo – a newly developed brake system, a lowered sport chassis, the Sport Chrono Package, and a sport exhaust system are all fitted as standard. The front axle features grooved brake discs with a diameter of 390 millimeters – 30 millimeters larger than the discs fitted on the standard Macan Turbo – and are gripped by six-piston brake calipers painted red. Additionally, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with air suspension is available at the push of a button to deliver an exceptionally sporty feel on the road. This system has also been optimally tuned to the the vehicle, which has been lowered by 10 millimeters. Air suspension also features a self-leveling function and height adjustability.
With the Sport Chrono Package, drivers can ramp up the performance of the Macan Turbo even further. In Sport Plus mode, this package ensures the chassis, engine, and transmission are tuned to the most dynamic level – accompanied by an even more emotional sound from the sport exhaust system. The seven-speed PDK double-clutch transmission delivers even shorter response times, with optimum gear change points, and increased torque during gear changes for maximum acceleration.
To customize the Macan Turbo with Performance Package, a range of tailored equipment options are available, such as the Turbo Exterior Package. Options available with this package include 21-inch 911 Turbo design wheels with spokes painted in high-gloss black, LED headlights equipped with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) Plus, and numerous other black elements. The Turbo Interior Package delivers a black leather interior with Alcantara® elements, color appliqué in numerous areas and carbon elements such as the door entry guards with the model logo lit up in white.
The Macan Turbo with Performance Package is available to order now and starts at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $86,445, excluding title, tax, registration, dealer charges, and delivery, preparation, and handling fee.
