A small vehicle, lots of black accents and a slightly better chassis.

It is not a Cayenne GTS
And with this open door, I try another point to make. Just as with the Cayenne in the Macan, the GTS between the S and the Turbo. The Cayenne GTS is, however, one of the last Mohicans with an atmospheric V8 with its fabulous soundtrack. The Cayenne buyer has a reason to use the faster, but tamer sounding Turbo left. For the Macan GTS is going to that party, not because the 3.0 bi-turbo V6 is the same as the block from the Macan S. Porsche reported in the press release have a custom intake and exhaust-process (with less backpressure), but the vehicle is easier to explain. The boost pressure increased by 0.2 bar to 1.2 bar, and therefore the extra twenty horses have been declared.

Furthermore, there’s very little to complain about V6, although it is better in the Porsche and the Macan, the equally large (and stronger) boxer-six-cylinder engine from the 911. That that does not happen, there is more to the Macan subcutaneous is heavily based on Audi’s Q5, which also with a variety of V6 engines available.
With the 3.0 bi-turbo V6, you do not cheated to feel. With the Sport Chrono package launch controlt the Macan GTS in five seconds to the hundred. The roads around the volcano of Tenerife made it unfortunately impossible on the top speed of 256 km/h to verify, but reportedly pitching the Macan GTS will be very easy to get to 200+.
The GTS sauce
If Porsche you are now well conditioned, then, think of these three letters to two colors. Red and black to be exact. The red colour is happy, because this tint personally, I find it rather dusty and aged. Fortunately, there is a choice of sitting in the color palette at Porsche, but not for the black accents for the GTS. If you don’t like, then there is nothing else than another type of Macan.
Window trim, roof spoiler and many other accents include high-gloss black. The headlights and tail lights are dark and the side-blades in atmospheric black carbon running.
Inside, it is mainly the use of alcantara what is striking, here and there decorated with some red accents. Belts, stitching and the tachometer cheer up the quantity somewhat. Surprisingly, it is not, but beautiful it is. That Porsche for the Macan GTS the choice of four interior colors (black, beige, grey or “zadelbruin”), and the red accents are part of an optional package.
A mini-Cayenne
The strength of the Macan is how the car seems to shrink as the pace on winding roads up throws. With a weight of 1855 kg belongs to the Macan, not in the feather class, but the brakes (the same as for the Macan Turbo) shaking speed. Cornering are high and thanks to the four-wheel drive, treats the Macan is not quickly under – or oversteer. That last would, according to Porsche it easier should be able to in a Macan with the optional electronically controlled differential lock (PTV Plus), but to experience that let us to have invitations on a frozen ijsmeer (hint). Continue to roll the Macan GTS 15 mm lower than the rest of the Macan family and comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
Conclusion
You want a sporty Porsche Macan and loves black accents? Then is the Macan GTS for you. Your Porsche dealer requests a book-entry transfer of 107.000 euros for the Macan GTS and it makes the price differences with the Macan S of 92k and Macan Turbo (116k) not life-size. The differences in performance are not, the list has, respectively, 340, 360 and 400 hp. On the other hand will be the difference between a dressed Macan S and a “bare” GTS is also not so big. Ultimately, the Macan GTS likely, just as with the 911 reasonably well, sell. Movie!
