The Porsche Macan compact SUV, the fifth model line for Porsche, was unveiled to an international audience at the L.A. Convention Center in Petree Hall on Thursday, Nov. 21.
The Macan was not the only highlight that Porsche brought to Los Angeles. The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet, 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, the Panamera Turbo S and Panamera Turbo S Executive, and the 918 Spyder were also displayed.
With the Macan, which comes in two models, Porsche has created its first sports car in the fast-growing compact SUV segment. The Macan S, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 340 hp, can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds.
The Macan Turbo’s 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 produces 400 hp and makes the car sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, says the company.
