Apparently, 'Cajun', was just a working title. Because today, Porsche has confirmed the name of its new baby SUV, and that name is 'Macan'.

Porsche tells us the word translates from Indonesian as 'tiger'. We're promised "suppleness, power, fascination and dynamics", which are a given.

Porsche will start building the Macan next year at its Leipzig factory; a factory that has just has €500 million invested in it, so this new car is a pretty serious model in the line up. Information is sparse but it'll be based on the 'MLB' platform, loosely based on the Audi Q5, and Porsche is hoping the Macan will double its total sales volume. That's right Double!

Porsche says the name of a new model "has to sound good in very many languages and evoke positive associations".

Personally I liked Cajun. You lot got any better suggestions on the Cayenne's baby bro'?
