The Porsche Macan GTS fits nicely between the S and the Turbo and Porsche South Africa has announced it will arrive around March this year.
The base price will sit at R1,349,000* which will get you a twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 producing 375 hp (280 kW; 380 PS) and 520 Nm of torque.
Power is sent to all four corners via Porsche’s twin-clutch PDK transmission. In the standard offering, the GTS will run to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, with that time dropping to 4.7 seconds when it’s equipped with the optional Sport Chrono pack (R20,570).
The new Macan GTS sits 15mm lower than the Macan S and gets adaptive dampers as standard with the optional air suspension able to drop the ride height by a further 10mm.
Inside you will find splashes of Alcantara and brushed aluminium with contrasting red seat belts and stitching.
On the exterior, you will see 20-inch RS Spyder wheels, painted black to match the black trim strips, diffuser and exhausts which have been tweaked to produce a distinctive sound for the Macan GTS.
*R1,399,000 if you want the five year Driveplan.
