No, sadly not a new Macan model, yet...!

Just watched this Henry Catchpole video of the Cayenne Turbo GT, and thought wouldn’t it be a fab swan song for the ICE Macan, if Porsche went out with a bang with a ‘GT’ version of it’s smaller SUV model?!

Probably won’t happen, but it’s a nice thought, I think... :)

I agree. A 500bhp turbo model would be superb

Sadly I though this was a thread following an announcement. I agree it would be a great swan song- I can’t see them investing in development of a 4L V8 version though although I really hope I’m wrong! A 500-550bhp Macan would be a real winner with enthusiasts.

It is strange if you take official Porsche figures todays GTS is only 0.2s faster 0-60 than the original Macan Turbo PP - although I’m sure with all the suspension and handling revisions over the years it’s probably quite a bit faster round a track.

The Alfa equivalent and the x3m and Merc amg all have 500 + bhp.
Shame Porsche don’t do a final runout Macan to Match these rivals.
It would be a huge success I think

Yes - I'd definitely be on for a 500bhp+ version.
