  • Porsche Exclusive Shows an Impulsive Macan Turbo

    Then next car in Porsche Exclusive’s range of vehicles is the Macan Turbo. It is so charming that we immediately fell in love with it. The first reason for this is its intense colour, called Impulse Red Metallic. In addition, company’s sub-department has treated the Macan with various cosmetic tweaks. There is literally no official information released by the company, nevertheless pictures are speaking for themselves.

    The same hue, Impulse Red Metallic, which adorns the body of the car, can be seen also throughout the interior on the dials and seatbelts. Other benefits inside are the dark brown leather upholstery and carbon fiber accents visible on the dashboard.

    We can see that the crossover rides on huge rubbers. They come in the dimension of 21-inches and are finished in black high gloss. The Sport Classic alloy wheels are accompanied by the yellow brake calipers. On the exterior we also see blackened bi-xenon headlights, SportDesign exterior mirrors and glossy black side skirts, roof rails and rear diffuser.

    Porsche Macan Turbo is driven by a twin-turbocharged 3.6 liter V6 engine. It produces 400 horsepower (294 kW) and can accelerate the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. And if the car is equipped with Sport Chrono package, then this time decreases with 0.2 seconds. The tops speed is limited at 266 km/h (165 mph).

    Despite this impressive performance, the Macan Turbo is still capable of showing good enough fuel consumption which ranges from 8.9 to 9.2 liters per 100 km (30.7 mpg UK or 25.6 mpg US) as well as CO2 emissions of 208-216 g/km.

  • Porsche Macan Turbo – Nurburgring Test [video]

    Porsche Macan Turbo was spied during Nurburgring tests and probably this is a more powerful “S” model planned by the German manufacturer. The Macan Turbo is expected to hit the market sometime in 2015 with a starting price in Germany of €79,826 (VAT included). So, the possible Macan Turbo S will be over €90,000.

    2015 Porsche Macan Turbo is powered by a twin-turbocharge 3.6 liter V6 – 400HP (294 kW). 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds (4.6 seconds with Sport Chrono package) and a top speed of 266 km/h (165 mph). The fuel consumption is decent 9.2 liters / 100 km (30.7 mpg UK or 25.6 mpg US)and CO2 emissions of 216 g/km.

    The Macan Turbo S is expected to generate at least 430HP (316 kW), so the 0-100 km/h will be cut by 0.2 seconds and the top speed will be slightly increased probably  to 280 km/h (175 mph).

    Besides the additional power, the Turbo S model will get some styling and performance upgrades like retuned suspension, improved braking system and more aggressive aerodynamics elements.

  • Porsche 991 Targa Tributes Original [TEASER]

    Porsche-911-Targa-Teaser-mediumWhat you see above is the original Porsche 911 Targa from 1965. The new one that’s coming out any moment now, is supposed to pay an homage to it. Porsche are still silent about how exactly the 991 Targa is going to look like so our guess is as good as yours. Having the signature movable center roof section and wrap-around rear windows is a certainty. An image claiming to be the real deal is floating around the internet, but we’ll let you fish it out.

    The officials are simply saying: “hey, come and watch the official reveal at the NAIAS in Detroit.

    Detroit is where Porsche will also put the Cayenne Platinum Edition and Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition on a show stand for the first time: basically the Cayennes you know with an extra bit of spice such as exterior touches and interior two-tone color schemes. The Macan S and Macan Turbo will also be there, should you be interested.

    But let’s face it, all eyes will be on the rarity that is the 911 Targa. Can they really go wrong with it?
