The Porsche Macan T - lightweight for agile performance

Quelle: AutoMotoTV (Glomex)

The two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in the Macan T combines high agility, low weight and a compact design into a package that represents an ideal balance of performance and weight. Compared to the 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine in the Macan S, the drive in the Macan T weighs 58.8 kilograms less on the front axle. This enables high starting performance and optimal cornering characteristics. The output of 195 kW (265 hp) and the torque of 400 Newton meters match the puristic vehicle concept and ensure great driving pleasure. As is generally the case with the Macan, the engine is coupled to a fast-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. A wide torque plateau delivers agile propulsion in all driving situations. With the standard Sport Chrono Package including mode switch and Sport Response button on the steering wheel, the Macan T accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 232 km/h
