Porsche Macan. A pulse of excitement
Choosing a vehicle can be challenging. You want everything in one car: speed and reliability, comfort and style, smart technology and attention to detail. And also bright details that would underline the character and taste of the owner, the possibility of original combinations of colours and materials wouldn't hurt. WS magazine takes a look at the interesting Porsche Macan, which opens up a wide range of possibilities.   
«A sports car among crossovers. A crossover among sports cars». This is exactly the answer that the Porsche engineers will give if you ask them about the Macan concept. And hardly anybody would dare to argue with people, who have been producing one of the best sports models in the world - 911 for half a century already.
Now everyone tries to try on a sports suit - from city small-capacity car up to a massive pick-up. But everyone understands perfectly well that only the real sportsman is able to confirm his ambitions: on a racetrack or on a racetrack. The Porsche Macan is a true athlete. Although he does not mind being a model family man. How does it manage to combine these - sometimes so contradictory - roles?
That's easy. Before any Porsche model is put into production, it has to pass the test of «the Green Hell». That's the name given to «The North Loop», the Nürburgring racetrack in western Germany. 22,8 kilometres, 74 corners, differences in elevation of up to 300 metres. The narrow roadway, with metal safety barriers on both sides, is no place for the weak.
In the hands of an experienced driver, a Porsche Macan Turbo completes the North Loop in 8 minutes and 15 seconds. The second-generation Porsche Cayman is approximately at the same time - and this is a light two-seater coupe, not a five-seater crossover with a large luggage compartment!
The main advantage of Porsche cars is not speed in itself. Far more important is the stamina that allows the car to go as long as possible at the highest possible speed. Naturally, Porsche crossovers are not built for motor racing. But anyone who has ever been to a Porsche Experience knows that the Macan can churn out the best times lap after lap in non-stop mode. The turbocharged engine, the high-speed PDK gearbox, the proprietary all-wheel drive system, the powerful brakes - even in the harshest racetrack conditions, it all works like a German clock.
The Macan GTS or Macan Turbo is for those with a taste for Porsche. Both versions are equipped with the same new 380 or 440 hp 3-litre turbo engine. They "shoot" from a place to 100 km/h in 4.7 and 4.3 seconds respectively! Top speed: 261 and 270 km/h. Both models - with even sportier suspension settings - deliver an unbelievable driving experience with every minute behind the wheel.
But don't think that the Porsche Macan is an extremist who has seen nothing but the racetrack. In fact, it's perfectly suited to the role of a family crossover - just ask any owner. Premium interior with excellent ergonomics, comfortable front seats, spacious rear sofa, almost 500-litre boot, the volume of which, if necessary, can be increased to 1.5 cubic metres... Just get ready for a trip today!
Porsche Macan - this is a good standard equipment and a very rich selection of options, which allows you to «collect» the car to your liking. It's easy to do - with the colourful official configurator. Adaptive air suspension, heated and ventilated seats, electric heated steering wheel and windscreen, servo-driven boot, LED headlights, panoramic roof, towbar, Bose® and Burmester® audio systems, two-tone interior trim options and luxurious «Natura» leather trim, painted with preservation of its natural properties ... And pay attention to the bright palette of body paint options! «Marble White», «Sapphire Blue», «Mamba Green», «Miami Blue»... Plus, you can choose any colour for your vehicle under the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur programme. By the way, the personalisation programme is not limited to body colours. The catalogue offers an endless number of exterior and interior design combinations. Aluminium, carbon fibre, wood, genuine leather, Race-Tex suede, contrast stitching and seat belts, embossed Porsche crests on the seat headrests - just a small list of everything the Porsche Macan offers.
A dynamic sports car or a comfortable crossover? The Macan easily solves this dilemma. It feels great on the racetrack and easily copes with the everyday tasks of a family car. A true Porsche!
