Great review !!! It's amazing how they can compare the performance of this vehicle to a 911 .Plus it offers more practical space and costs less.
This Macan is the real deal !!!

Two Quotes -- snipped from article - ( amazing potential in this vehicle)

1) "The power and torque of the 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo meant that the Carrera in front, who was taking the same line, simply could not open the gap, which stayed consistent all the way round, right into the braking threshold for the Bus Stop. "

2) "No wonder then that Porsche expect up to 80 percent of their volume to be conquest sales from other brands, and are prepared for up to 20 percent cannibalisation from their own Cayenne."

I'm def part of the 20%. Only the Macan or a V8 Cayenne could make me switch from my current 958 V6.

Very thorough review, thx for sharing!

Was amusing to read the engineers' unanimous comment of the "1/3" similarities with the Q3 And small details of how they brought down COG and thinned the roof liner, etc. Small pedantic details only Porsche can obsess over!

Thanks for posting this article, 997xpress. Quotes:

"What was also obvious is that Porsche has consigned turbo lag to the history books with its new V6 bi-turbo motors. Blip the throttle at idle with the selector of the seven-speed double-clutch gearbox’s selector in P or N, and the revs rise and fall instantly just as you would expect if it were a well set-up, naturally aspirated motor".

"This feeling of low internal engine inertia continues on the move with snappy throttle response and a willingness to play that is both enticing and rewarding to the enthusiast driver."

Excellent! Thanks for sharing this article. Wish I could open those thumbnail photos for a better look.
