Five doors.
No box.

The Macan concept.

Create a compact SUV? No, we’d
rather think outside the box. We’ve
created what we always create:
a sports car. Five doors, five seats
and yet intimate with the road;
boasting plenty of space for

hobbies, leisure and sport. But no
room for compro mise. Compact,
concentrated and intensive,
but still powerful. Practical but
never ordinary.

The new Macan – built for an
inten sive life in which the thirst for
expe rience and thrills and spills
are ever-present, and in which new
challenges are a permanent
driving force. Built for a life that

refuses to be hemmed in by
conven tions and feels all the
more authen tic for it. Direct and
intimate.

A sports car that gives us what
we´re looking for: that feeling of
being alive.

The new Macan. Life, intensified.

We could etch character in stone.
But we prefer more dynamic forms of expression.

Design.

Sometimes we recognize faces
that stand out from the crowd
because they exude a charisma
that inspires us and stirs our
emotions. Like the sense that the

car we see before us is a sports
car because it encapsulates
an unmistakable design trait:
Porsche DNA .

The Macan has defining facial
features in the form of the dynamic
front end with characteristic
headlights recessed in the hood.
The large air intakes are just
waiting to inhale life. The side

profile is sharply contoured by
the aggressive sloping roof line.

The rear is characterized by wide,
imposing shoulders. The overall

vehicle design is wide and sleek
and reflects the rhythm of life.

Every design detail radiates
one thing: intensely sporty style.
Typically Porsche.

Exterior design.

Porsche DNA is the name we
give to the use of form that has
characterized 65 years of sports
car evo lu tion, whether in the
wind tunnel, on the racetrack, in
minds or in hearts.

to the wheel arches, lending
the front a broad and powerful
presence. This extraordinary

its time – including the 24 Hours
of Le Mans.

The side profile is distinctly

the front end resembles a predator
waiting to pounce. The roof line
slopes distinctively down towards
the rear, drawing the customary
sports car contour – our designers
call it the Porsche flyline. The side

In sizes of up to 21 inches, the
wheels are also testament
to the high standards that can
be achieved in car design.

Interior design.

It is our firm belief that driver
and car must form a single entity.
As such, you do not simply
sit in the Macan – the ergonomic

center console – a typical feature
of a sports car – shortens the
reach between the steering wheel
and the gear selector and control
buttons and further intensifies that
sports car feel.

Multifunction sports steering
wheel.

The newly developed multifunction
sports steering wheel is inspired
by the ultra-modern concept and
design of the 918 Spyder super
sports car. Accordingly, it follows
another principle of motorsport:
letting your hands remain on the
steering wheel – even when you
change gear. In the new Macan,
two manually operated and
ergono mically positioned gearshift
paddles enable fast and sporty
gear changes.
