Porsche Macan [2014-2019]

A bit expensive for a compact SUV 

With prices starting from Rs 71 lakh, the Macan does not offer much for its price. For much lesser you can get the BMW X3 or the Mercedes-Benz GLE 250D which offer much greater road presence. However, for the high price, one does get super performance.&nbsp;

Porsche has rolled out a new Manthey Kit for the 992.2-generation 911 GT3, created with Manthey Racing to improve its performance on a track. The development teams at Porsche’s Weissach Centre and Manthey Racing worked together to raise downforce and cornering ability without adding extra drag. The kit updates the aerodynamics, suspension and braking hardware to help the car stay stable during long track sessions. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/">Porsche</a> says the goal is to help the 911 GT3 carry more speed through corners, remain steady under different loads and deliver consistent lap times. All updates are made without changing the engine, showing the focus is on engineering, setup and efficiency rather than increasing power output.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/porsche-cayenne-electric-price-in-india-announced-gets-up-to-1140bhp-122270/">Porsche Cayenne Electric Price In India Announced — Gets Up To 1,140bhp!</a>The aerodynamic updates include a front lip extended by 12 millimetres, along with front diffuser fins and side flaps that increase pressure at the front axle. At the rear, the 911 GT3 now uses a swan-neck wing with a Gurney flap and larger end plates that guide airflow. A revised rear diffuser with longer fins improves stability, while carbon-fibre discs on the rear wheels help reduce drag during fast circuit runs.

Drivers can fine-tune rebound and compression damping based on track conditions. Porsche has also increased the front axle spring rates by 10 per cent compared to the previous Manthey kit. This change boosts mechanical grip and helps the car stay predictable during corner entry, load shifts and when driving over kerbs.

Porsche focuses on driver control and clear feedback, making sure the updates suit both track use and daily driving. The cabin remains familiar but includes small track-focused elements that support the car’s purpose on a circuit.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/2025-porsche-911-turbo-s-launched-in-india-at-rs-38-crore-122152/">2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S Launched in India at Rs 3.8 Crore</a>The 4.0-litre flat-six engine stays unchanged. Instead, the Manthey Kit aims to improve handling and aerodynamic efficiency so the car can use its power better under track conditions. Porsche says the latest setup makes the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/porsche/911-gt3/">911 GT3</a> almost three seconds quicker around the Nurburgring compared to the earlier generation fitted with the older Manthey kit.

Porsche Motorsport will expand its Formula E programme from the 2026-27 season by introducing a second factory team, becoming the first manufacturer to operate four works cars on the grid. The new structure will bring the total number of Porsche-powered entries to six. The move forms part of Porsche’s long-term strategy to strengthen its role in electric racing through a parallel operational setup. The additional team will create a framework for technical continuity and resource efficiency as Formula E enters its next development phase.&nbsp;Porsche aims to give the second team a standalone identity while maintaining performance parity.

Our heritage in traditional motorsport is unique and is reflected in every Porsche. In the future, we want to be able to say the same about electric motorsport. Compared to other racing series, Formula E offers a very attractive balance between effort and return. It also gives us the opportunity to further develop technical solutions that are relevant to our production sports cars. Among other things, we want to use this operational shift to find and promote new talent at all levels, not just drivers.'
 
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Porsche-Formula-E-(1)-1763439899302.webp" alt="Porsche Formula E (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The new factory team will be based at Porsche’s Development Centre in Weissach, operating independently from the existing works squad. It will manage its own technical and sporting programmes while running under the Porsche banner. The structure will allow new drivers, engineers and staff to gain exposure within a works environment and establish a consistent framework for internal training and performance development. Porsche will use a competition licence formerly held by McLaren, which withdrew from the championship. This revised format reduces external partnerships but provides greater internal control of race operations and powertrain management.The decision aligns with Porsche’s ongoing commitment to Formula E’s Gen4 regulations. The company continues to view the championship as a platform for electric powertrain research and system validation connected to its road vehicle projects. Data and expertise developed in racing contribute to models such as the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV. The formation of a dual-factory structure increases testing capacity and data acquisition across both teams.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/mahindra-racing-tops-2026-formula-e-pre-season-test-in-valencia-122070/">Mahindra Racing Tops 2026 Formula E Pre-season Test in Valencia</a>As Formula E works toward a potential 24-car grid under the Gen4 ruleset, Porsche’s double-factory arrangement reinforces its stake in the next phase of electric motorsport.

Porsche Motorsport to Add Second Team in Formula E

Porsche will run two factory teams from 2026-27, creating a four-car works effort in Formula E and using the new entry to develop talent for the Gen4.

You may or may not believe in black magic, but once you’re behind the wheel of a Porsche Macan Turbo Electric, pushing it at breakneck speeds around the racetrack, you’re bound to become a believer. Despite weighing only a few kilograms less than the planet Jupiter, the way this thing grips, steers, and annihilates straights can turn your frontal lobe into jelly!

How fast is it, you ask? Well, it finished third overall in this test, but more impressively, it’s nearly two seconds quicker than both the Aston Martin DBX 707 and the BMW M5!Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bharat-mobility-expo-2025-porsche-macan-ev-launched-at-rs-121-crore-in-india-119626/">Porsche Macan EV Launched in India</a>

We’ve long believed the Macan to be a sports car on stilts, but with the latest generation going all-electric, expectations were understandably tempered. Yet, the Macan Turbo Electric turns out to be every bit as precise and surgical as any machine wearing the Porsche crest. Built on Porsche’s all-new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, it shares nothing with its ICE sibling. This variant features a dual-motor setup, rated at 630bhp and 1,130Nm, resulting in a 0-100km/h time of just 3.3 seconds.

The acceleration is brutal and precise. No tyre squeal, no drama – just grip and go. The real magic, though, lies in how it handles. The steering drips with feel, and the body control is taut. The electronics? Pure witchcraft. They don’t just keep you going in the right direction; they also help you stitch the apexes together like a pro.

Yet, despite all that athleticism, the Macan Turbo Electric is a genuinely comfortable luxury car. The ride is supple, the refinement levels are exceptional, and the cabin’s fit-and-finish is pure Porsche perfection.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/porsche-delays-ev-plans-confirms-ice-and-hybrids-well-into-the-2030s-121831/"> Porsche Delays EV Plans, Confirms ICE and Hybrids ‘Well Into the 2030s’</a>

Is there anything missing? Well, it’s a bit too quiet for a Porsche. You can’t help but long for Porsche’s signature mechanical acoustics. And that, really, is the crux of Porsche’s EV dilemma – no matter how spectacular its electric cars become, they can never quite replace the combustion-powered icons that built the brand’s soul. Even Porsche’s balance sheet reflects this – the manufacturer recently posted a $1.1 billion quarterly loss, largely due to its ambitious electrification push. In the end, while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Macan Turbo Electric in itself, its only flaw might be that it doesn’t fully align with what Porsche has always stood for.

Porsche has reaffirmed its standing at the top of North American sports car racing by completing a triple crown in the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. At the season finale at Road Atlanta, the German manufacturer secured the Manufacturer, Team, and Driver Championships for the second year in succession. Although Porsche Penske Motorsport did not win the ten-hour race, a planned and consistent approach ensured the required results. Porsche Penske Motorsport finished the race at third and tenth with its two Porsche 963 prototypes, which was enough to seal the manufacturers’ title. These results also confirmed the team championship, marking a repeat of last year’s success.

Their season-long consistency proved decisive, even after teammate Julien Andlauer was ruled out of the finale for medical reasons. Laurens Vanthoor stepped in to complete stints in both cars, helping the team maintain focus through the closing hours. Porsche also defended its IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup title, which measures performances across the season’s longest races. The hybrid-powered Porsche 963 remained competitive throughout, with the No. 6 car leading multiple phases and Felipe Nasr in the No. 7 pushing into the front group early. The LMDh car’s record since the category’s introduction was further extended, showing the strength of Porsche’s engineering package across endurance formats.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/porsche-confirms-withdrawal-from-wec-hypercar-class-after-2025-season-121906/">Porsche Confirms Withdrawal from WEC Hypercar Class After 2025 Season</a>In the GT categories, JDC-Miller MotorSports displayed pace early before finishing twelfth in its Porsche 963. AO Racing’s Porsche 911 GT3 R led briefly in GTD Pro but dropped to eighth after contact, while Wright Motorsports finished sixth in GTD. With four wins and ten podiums across the season, Porsche’s 2025 campaign combined stable performance with strategy to deliver a complete championship result.

Porsche Clinches Manufacturer, Team, and Driver Championships in IMSA 2025 Season

Porsche dominated the 2025 IMSA season, winning Manufacturer, Team, and Driver titles with Campbell and Jaminet leading the way in the Porsche 963.

Porsche has announced it will withdraw from the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Hypercar class after the 2025 season, marking the end of a chapter for endurance racing fans. The manufacturer’s factory team has long been a central part of the WEC, collecting 19 Le Mans victories and setting benchmarks in endurance racing. For followers of endurance motorsport, Porsche’s decision brings mixed feelings, respect for its achievements and disappointment at its departure from the grid. After years of consistent presence in top-level racing, the brand’s exit signals a major shift in priorities within the evolving motorsport landscape.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-indonesian-gp-aldeguer-beats-acosta-to-win-mandalika-race-marquez-suffers-collarbone-injury-121886/">MotoGP Indonesian GP: Aldeguer Beats Acosta to Win Mandalika Race, Marquez Suffers Collarbone Injury</a>Porsche stated that its focus will now turn to the IMSA SportsCar Championship in North America and the all-electric Formula E series. The Porsche 963 will continue competing in IMSA’s GTP category, while the company strengthens its Formula E programme with the next-generation Porsche 99X Electric. The manufacturer said these platforms better support its product and technology direction, particularly as motorsport becomes more integrated with electrification and sustainability goals.

With rising development costs and competitive pressure, the company is aligning investment towards racing formats that directly contribute to technology relevant for future cars. While the move ends its current WEC commitment, Porsche reiterated its intent to stay active in motorsport and continue developing performance and efficiency technologies through racing.The withdrawal leaves uncertainty around Porsche’s future presence at Le Mans in 2026. Privateer entries such as Proton Competition may still run the Porsche 963, but without factory backing, participation will be more complex and expensive. The company confirmed it will continue to supply customer teams with parts and technical input, ensuring the 963 remains part of endurance racing even without a factory effort on the grid.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-russell-beats-verstappen-at-singapore-gp-race-mclaren-wins-2025-constructors-championship-121887/">F1: Russell Beats Verstappen at Singapore GP Race; McLaren Wins 2025 Constructors' Championship</a>For the WEC, losing Porsche changes the competitive picture. While several manufacturers will join the Hypercar field in 2026 and 2027, the absence of a brand with Porsche’s heritage will be noticeable. The move also underlines a broader trend in global motorsport, as major teams shift resources from combustion-based series towards electric and mixed-technology platforms that better reflect the direction of the car industry.

Porsche Confirms Withdrawal from WEC Hypercar Class After 2025 Season

Porsche will leave the WEC Hypercar class after 2025 to focus on IMSA and Formula E, raising uncertainty over its participation at Le Mans 2026.

How do you improve on a product that’s already the fastest-selling vehicle you’ve manufactured in your 70-year history? It’s an unenviable challenge that Porsche faces with the latest version of its best-selling SUV – the Macan.&nbsp;

Success can often be a double-edged sword – even more so if it’s in relation to a product that’s exceeded all expectations since its launch. Before I go any further, let’s rewind a bit. The year was 2002, and Porsche traditionalists – who are very loyal to the brand – were up in arms about Porsche’s first SUV, the Cayenne.&nbsp;

Why? Well, to the traditional customer, for the maker of one of the finest, most reliable and instantly recognisable sports cars in the world – the Porsche 911 – to manufacture an SUV was symptomatic of succumbing to the pressure of popular demand, which they felt was sacrilege and against everything that Porsche stood.

Porsche, however, knew that to survive in a fast-evolving world, they had no choice but to keep up with changing customer preferences.&nbsp;

<img alt="Porsche Macan Front View" src="/uploads/2019/06/Porsche-Macan-S-review.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

Stunning success 
Back to the present day, and the sales figures of Porsche’s line-up today is something that most Porsche purist would have found completely unimaginable two decades ago. Sure, there’s the 911 and the Boxster / Cayman duo that continues to shape the soul of the brand. But, the real growth of Porsche over the past two decades came from two SUVs – the Cayenne and the Macan. Over the past 5 years, the Macan alone sold over 400,000 units – something that Porsche couldn’t possibly have dreamt of during its sports-cars-only phase.&nbsp;

Now, back to my original predicament. You see, the success of a product like the Macan can be very tricky, for it’s easier to fall than to rise even higher, especially given the intense competition in the segment. And therein lies the challenge – to improve something that doesn’t have much room for improvement. A difficult task indeed!

&nbsp;But, of course, success does have its own benefits. In fact, Markus Meyer, Product Manager of the Macan, said to me during our drive that success means more customers, which, consequently, also means more feedback about the things that you can improve or change in the product. Clearly, with its record sales volume, there wasn’t much wrong with the Macan in the first place, but, in typical Porsche fashion, Markus and his team set about fine-tuning the product to suit the preferences and demands of the company’s ever-evolving worldwide customer base.&nbsp;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvZbg9cNeZU&amp;t=

Nip &amp; tuck&nbsp; 
First, as one would expect, there are a few design updates to bring the Macan in tune with the latest design trademarks of the brand. So, we’ve now got LED headlights (optional, depending on the model you buy) with LED daytime running lamps that resemble the four-post design of the latest Cayenne and the 919 racing car. However, the big change – for me, at least – is the massive tail light that runs across the width of the rear end of the car – a long-standing Porsche design trademark that’s being brought back. I love the single taillight look – it gives the Porsche a very distinctive visual identity when paired with the 3D Porsche badging at the rear.&nbsp;

One particular highlight – our test car had gorgeous 21-inch wheels (more on that later) and side panels in a black finish, which offered a nice contrast with the Miami Blue shade of the car. 
&nbsp; 
It’s the interior, however, that boasts bigger changes. Given the rapidly rising expectations of customers in terms of connectivity and multimedia, the Macan now comes with a brand new 10.9-inch high-resolution touchscreen, which is absolutely stunning to look at and use. Now, to fit this screen, Porsche had to completely redesign the dashboard. However, I think that given the expectations of today’s customers, the new design is a must.&nbsp;

Also of note is the build quality and high levels of finishing in the interior, which is by far the best in its segment. The way different materials – leather, aluminium, alcantara and carbon fibre – blend and fuse together to offer something discernibly striking is simply fantastic. &nbsp;

Chasing Autobahns&nbsp; 
One of the advantages of testing a new vehicle in Germany is the opportunity to drive it on unrestricted stretches of the Autobahn. Our first test car was the entry-level Macan, which is powered by a 2-litre turbocharged engine. With continual improvements in power delivery and efficiency, the latest version of the engine produces 241bhp and 370Nm. And while that might not sound like much, it does have quite a bit going in its favour. Full torque is available from as low as 1,600rpm, which means even the base model Macan drives like a car powered by a V6 engine. With a 0 to 100km/h sprint time of 6.5 seconds, the R4 engine-powered Macan is more than enough for everyday use. In fact, it almost allowed us to achieve the two-ton mark on the Autobahn without breaking a sweat.&nbsp;

<img alt="Porsche Macan Rear Three Quarter Dynamic" src="/uploads/2019/06/Porsche-Macan-S-rear-three-quarter-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

Moving it along 
Now, if the base R4 Macan is that quick, you can very well imagine the speed of the more powerful version. The Macan S that we tested is powered by a brand-new 3.0-litre V6 engine, which has its turbo placed within the V of the cylinders. What that does is increase its efficiency and eliminates turbo lag – something that was quite evident on the faster stretches of our test route.&nbsp;

With 349bhp and 480Nm of torque, the Macan S accelerates like a bullet, and can reach 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds. Effectively, what it means is that even on the fastest stretches of the Autobahn, the Macan S could easily keep up with some of the fastest cars around.&nbsp;

The agility challenge 
Now, given its weight of around 1.8-tonnes, the Macan’s handling and driving dynamics could have been a cause of scepticism. However, in true Porsche fashion, if there’s a lasting impression that the Macan leaves you with, it’s that of agility.&nbsp;

With a length of just under 4.7 metres, the Macan is not a big car at all. And its sharp steering, tightly controlled ride – especially with the optional air suspension – and friendly manners make driving the Macan a rather fun and enjoyable experience. What helps here also is the all-wheel-drive traction, which means that you’re never wary of using full throttle and the extremely well-tuned suspension, especially at high speeds.&nbsp;

Having driven all of its direct competitors, I can (and will) go as far as to say that there’s no other SUV that comes close to the Macan in terms of driving appeal. With its communicative chassis, fantastic steering, superb engine and responsive seven-speed dual clutch transmission, the Macan most certainly remains the driver’s car of choice in its segment.&nbsp;

The challenge 
Now, let’s get to the problem. When the Macan was launched in the Indian market, it faced three particular challenges. First, of course, is the fact that despite everything, the Macan is a bit conservative in terms of size. Pair that with a big transmission tunnel running in the middle of the rear floorboard and, effectively, the Macan is a four-seater SUV at best, albeit a comfortable one.&nbsp;

Secondly, while the 21-inch alloys look stunning on the Macan S, it’s a fact that large wheels are pretty difficult to use on our broken roads. And I don’t know how the Macan will look on smaller wheels – I’m sure it’ll lose some of its visual appeal. However, it all depends on the customer and what he or she prefers – visual appeal or practicality?&nbsp;

And, finally, the primary reason for the lukewarm response that the Macan received in the Indian market originally was its pricing. It was priced above certain models of the Cayenne, and that simply made no sense to the Indian consumer. However, Porsche India is actively working to change that perception with the new Macan, which is due to be launched in India in the middle of this year.&nbsp;

According to Porsche India officials, pricing for the base Macan will be around the `70 lakh mark (ex-showroom) to differentiate it clearly from the Cayenne and to enable it to compete with its direct rivals.&nbsp;

Sure, that would still be a good premium over its typical competition – the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC – but the new Macan has a lot going for it. With its endless customisable options, including bright sporty colours such as Mamba Green, Carmine Red and Miami Blue, the Macan can easily be converted into your personal style statement – something you can’t do with most of its rivals.&nbsp;

And let’s not forget the Porsche badge, which, along with superb build quality and fantastic driving appeal, does give the Macan a distinct edge over its rivals. Whether you drive it or just admire the quality and fit-and-finish, the Macan is a cut above the rest and is the obvious choice for enthusiasts.

The real question, then, is – are you looking to make a statement and own the best driver’s SUV in its segment? If yes, then the Macan is the perfect choice for you. Just remember, it’s still going to cost you a bit more than the competition. &nbsp;&nbsp;

<img alt="Porsche Macan Interior" src="/uploads/2019/06/Porsche-Macan-S-interior.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

The Macan now comes with a brand new 10.9-inch high-resolution touchscreen, which is absolutely stunning to look at and use.

<img alt="Porsche Macan Alloy Wheel" src="/uploads/2019/06/Porsche-Macan-S-alloy-wheel.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

While the 21-inch alloys look stunning, it’s a fact that large wheels are difficult to use on our broken roads – not only are low profile tyres prone to damage, but ride quality takes a hit too. They do look good though!&nbsp;
