With an output power that has been boosted to 280 kW, the new Porsche Macan GTS, which is positioned between the Macan S and Macan Turbo versions of the SUV, offers 11 kW more than its predecessor.

The latest Macan GTS comes equipped with a biturbo 2.9-liter V6 that produces an unprecedented 380 PS (280 kW), which is routed through a PDK dual-clutch gearbox. With Porsche’s optional Sport Chrono package, the Macan GTS (for Gran Turismo Sport) can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 261 kilometers per hour.

The vehicle, which is designed to cope with all types of terrain, has also been made more agile. With this in mind, the adaptive air suspension, which is standard equipment on this model, can lower the chassis by 10 millimeters.

The Macan GTS is the latest update to this range, which was restyled in 2018 and already boasted highly-responsive driving dynamics, notably with the 440-horsepower Macan Turbo. Count on spending from US$72,650 or around 80,000 euros if you want to buy yourself one of these automobiles. The Macan GTS is set to arrive at United States dealers next summer.

Let’s not forget that an electric version of the Macan is still expected soon. RGA
