Summary

With its long history with the 356, 911, Boxster and Cayman models as well as countless successes in motor sports, it is perhaps unsurprising that Porsche is most closely associated with the flat-engine concept. However, Porsche has also been using V-engines since the 70s, both in standard-production projects and motor sports, and has enjoyed considerable success with different manifestations in various models. V-engines have assumed a much higher profile at Porsche since the start of production of the Cayenne in 2002 and the Panamera in 2009. Two new engine variants with bi-turbocharging and displacement of 3.0 and 3.6 litres have been developed for the Macan on the basis of this modular V-engine matrix. The 3.0 litre engine in the Macan S develops 250 kW at a maximum torque of 460 Nm. The 3.6 litre engine in the Macan Turbo develops 294 kW and achieves a torque of 550 Nm. The key development focuses here were performance, emotiveness and efficiency in the compact Sports Utility Vehicle segment.
