Porsche Macan GTS
The new Porsche Macan GTS has its own distinctive look. The front, side and rear are all characterised by black-painted styling elements - a distinguishing feature of all Porsche GTS models. Particularly striking at the front are the tinted Matrix LED headlights as well as the strongly contoured outer edges above the airblades. The sharpened geometry of the side skirts, which taper outwards towards the rear, also adds to the distinctive look. The sideblades are finished in high-gloss black and feature 'GTS' lettering in satin-gloss black, further emphasising the car's sporting appearance.
The wheel arch trims finished in satin-gloss black merge harmoniously into the model-specific rear apron, the inserts of which stand out in their high-gloss-black finish.
The distinctive diffuser trim with its striking fins emphasises the sporty look and adds a powerful yet elegant finishing touch to the design. To underline the elevated level of performance, the adaptive rear spoiler of the Macan GTS is fitted with a spoiler lip painted high-gloss black. The rear lights are tinted to match the design of the headlights.
As standard, the GTS is fitted with 21-inch Macan Design light-alloy wheels painted in the exclusive colour Anthracite Grey. Optional 22-inch RS Spyder Design wheels, finished in the same distinctive colour, are also available. With the launch of the Porsche Macan GTS, three new exterior paint colours are now available: Crayon, Carmine Red and, for the first time on this model, Lugano Blue. In addition to the now 15 standard colours, Porsche offers almost 60 additional shades as part of its Paint to Sample programme.
The Sport Design Package: purposeful styling, down to the finest detail
Porsche is offering a new Sport Design Package with new front and rear sections for all Macan Electric models, providing a particularly sporty look. The Macan GTS is the first to be offered with this package - not only as standard but also in a GTS-specific design. The contrast elements, such as decorative inserts, sideblades, wheel arch trims and the lip of the adaptive rear spoiler, are all finished in black.
Sporty silhouette with the famous Porsche flyline
The new Porsche Macan GTS benefits from the sporty proportions enjoyed by the rest of the model series. Even when stationary, it has the dynamic look that is typical of a Porsche. The gently sloping bonnet and the pronounced wings give the SUV a powerful and sporty appearance. The front lighting is separated into two parts: the flat upper light units with four-point daytime running lights are embedded in the front wings and emphasise the width of the car. The headlight module with Matrix LED technology is positioned slightly lower.
The famous Porsche flyline forms a single unit with the sloping rear window. Together with the frameless doors, this results in a sporty silhouette. The pronounced shoulders give the rear of the car a muscular look. Beneath the active rear spoiler, a continuous light strip spans the full width of the rear. Porsche lettering runs down the middle of this 3D light strip and is finished in matt black on the GTS model.
Like the other Macan Electric models, the new GTS features Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) with active and passive elements. With a drag coefficient of 0.25, the Macan Electric is one of the most aerodynamic SUVs. The automatically extending rear spoiler, active cooling flaps on the front air intakes and flexible covers on the fully enclosed underbody all contribute to this.
Air curtains beneath the headlight modules optimise the airflow, as does the low-slung front end. Two pronounced edges on the sides at the rear, along with the diffuser blade, ensure aerodynamic efficiency. Thanks to the air suspension, ride height can be reduced depending on speed, resulting in improved aerodynamics and greater electric range.
For an even sportier look, the Porsche Macan GTS is equipped as standard with extended features in Race-Tex, along with elements trimmed in black leather. Race-Tex is found on the heated multifunction GT Sports steering wheel, the armrests of the centre console, the door panels and the dashboard. The centre panels of the 18-way adaptive sports seats are also covered in Race-Tex, where a special feature is the 'Diamar' embossing. Smooth leather is used for the seat bolsters and headrests.
The optional GTS Interior Package enables customers to create a colour scheme with a matching interior and exterior. This package is available in a choice of Carmine Red, Slate Grey Neo and Lugano Blue to match the corresponding exterior paints. The decorative stitching on the seats, steering wheel, door panels and the upper part of the dashboard are also finished in the respective colour, as are the seat belts and the 'GTS' lettering on the seats. In addition, the multifunction GT Sports steering wheel is fitted with a badge with coloured lettering matching the selected interior. Cars ordered with the GTS Interior Package automatically come with the Carbon Interior Package, featuring decorative carbon-fibre inlays on the steering wheel, the dashboard trim strip and the front and rear door panels.
Up to three displays, GTS-specific gauges and the Sport Chrono Package
The Porsche Macan GTS has a state-of-the-art display and operating concept featuring up to three screens, including the free-standing 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster and the 10.9-inch central display.
The GTS styling continues across the digital displays, with the exterior colour of the customer's car being used for the 3D visualisation of the vehicle in the central display. In addition, the instrument cluster bears the 'GTS' lettering. Many functions of the standard Sport Chrono Package can be operated via the corresponding app in the central display. These include recording lap times and telemetry data, adding new tracks, and sector and lap analysis.
The 12.6-inch, fully digital, free-standing curved display of the instrument cluster sits directly in the driver's visual axis. As is customary with Porsche, this screen forms the highest point of the instrument panel. The central display is a high-resolution 10.9-inch touchscreen in Full-HD quality.
The optional passenger display also has a diagonal measurement of 10.9 inches. The passenger can adjust settings for the infotainment and navigation systems, browse media apps and stream video content. This is even possible while driving; thanks to special technology, the display cannot be seen from the driver's seat.
Colourful presentation: the communication light
The Porsche Macan GTS features ambient lighting with a 'communication light' as standard. In the instrument panel, there is a band of 56 LEDs that runs from one door panel to the other. This coloured and animatable strip of light visualises various vehicle states, such as the charging process, and greets passengers with a special animation when they enter. Typical Porsche features, such as Launch Control or the change of drive modes, are also highlighted with the light strip.
In addition, the communication light also works in conjunction with certain driver assistance systems, such as Lane Change Assist and Exit Warning, and can then issue location-specific warnings. For example, a pulsating light signal on their door warns the driver of danger if they try to open it when, for example, a cyclist is approaching from behind.
Featuring the high-tech components of the Macan Turbo
GTS - an initialism that has enjoyed a special reputation among Porsche fans since the 904 Carrera GTS from 1963. Now, a Macan Electric carries these legendary letters. The badge is well deserved, thanks to outstanding driving dynamics and impressive acceleration. The Porsche Macan GTS Electric sprints from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and can reach 200 km/h from a standstill in 13.3 seconds, accelerating up to a top speed of 250 km/h. The model also boasts a towing capacity of up to 2.5 tonnes.
Like the Macan Turbo, the Macan GTS features the largest and most powerful electric motor of the model series on the rear axle. The motor has a diameter of 230 mm and an active length of 210 mm and is paired with a highly efficient 900 A pulse inverter made with silicon carbide (SiC). Combined with the electric motor on the front axle, the car achieves a power output of 380 kW (516 PS). From a standing start, with Launch Control enabled, the new model delivers up to 420 kW (571 PS) of overboost power and a maximum torque of 955 Nm. The combined WLTP range is up to 586 km.
The two electric motors of the Macan GTS are controlled individually and almost in real time via the power electronics. The electronically controlled Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) system reacts around five times faster than a conventional all-wheel-drive system and can respond to slip within 10 milliseconds. Distribution of power via the all-wheel-drive system depends on the selected driving programme. In Normal mode, the power distribution is tailored to maximise efficiency and range. In the Sport and Sport Plus modes, the focus of the ePTM is on optimal traction and driving dynamics and the front motor is engaged more frequently.
In the Off-road driving mode, the Macan switches the control systems and the all-wheel-drive system to a 'rough-road' configuration. The speed differential between the front and rear axles is limited by a virtual centre-differential lock, which further improves traction and ensures maximum braking performance on loose surfaces. In addition, the Off-road suspension level (plus 30 mm or plus 50 mm at the special Off-road level) is also activated.
The Macan GTS also expresses its spirit acoustically; its Porsche Electric Sport Sound (PESS) features two GTS-specific sound profiles with their own distinctive characteristics in the Sport and Sport Plus modes.
