2017 Porsche Macan Gets Faster with Turbo Performance Package
CARS.COM — Porsche Macan Turbo owners: You’re not top dog any longer. A new Macan Turbo Performance Package tops the lineup for 2017 with more go, more stop and a lowered suspension compared with the regular Macan Turbo. The Performance Package’s turbocharged 3.6-liter six-cylinder makes 40 more horsepower than the Macan Turbo through unique engine calibration for a grand total of 440 hp. Porsche says this is good for zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds (0.2 seconds faster), which is a few ticks faster than an entry-level Porsche 911 (4.4 seconds).
