Porsche just announced it’s adding a GTS variant to the 2020 Macan lineup. The GTS will fit in between the S and Turbo with a 375-horsepower 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 and some styling tweaks – a seasonal gift to the Macan?
The Macan is the top selling Porsche model with sales of more than twice that of the 911. It’s easy to see why – practical, fast and great looks.
Porsche is adapting the electric vehicle technology found in the Taycan for a new Macan EV. Plug-in and zip to the shops gas free with 700 HP on tap – sounds like a winner in a seriously good looking car, but wait, the shape will change!
According to Autocar, the Macan EV will be a radically different body style to differentiate it from its combustion-powered sibling. Initially, it will be sold alongside the regular Macan as a Turbo S model when it arrives in 2021. Funny isn’t it? You go all electric and green but you still need the muscly sounding “Turbo S” to get the right attention.
The Macan has been a big hit since it’s launch a few years ago. Now Porsche has begun the face lifting process on the old girl!
From most angles, it seems to be a real success – the 2020 Macan is prettier, more practical and has more power. It seems to have developed the perfect split personality between the practical small SUV and the hot hatch you used to drive before the kids arrived!
