The all-new GTS version of Porsche’s compact SUV Macan is available for order, Porsche Centre Doha of Al Boraq Automobiles announced yesterday.
Like all Porsche models that bear the three letter insignia, the Macan GTS is inspired by motor racing.
A reengineered chassis, 20hp more than the Macan S and reinforced brakes are some of the features on offer in the latest addition to the Stuttgart-based manufacturer’s GTS line-up.
With an output of 360hp and 500nm of torque, the Macan GTS places in-between the Macan S and the Macan Turbo.
The technical basis for this comprises of a three-litre V6 bi-turbo engine from the Macan S, accompanied by the Porsche Doppelkupplung and Porsche Traction Management with flexible power distribution between front and rear axles. Completing the zero to 100 km/h sprint in 5.0 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package, the Macan GTS has a top speed of 256 km/h.
The GTS version of Porsche’s compact SUV combines a high level of driving dynamics with outstanding everyday utility. A sportier tuning of the PASM chassis lowered by 15mm, along with 20-inch RS Spyder design wheels with matt black paint finish and mixed tyres (front: 265/45 and rear: 295/40), are some of the new sporty features.
Also, in keeping with iconic Porsche styling are the standard GTS sport seats with Alcantara centre panels, additional Alcantara trim in the interior as well as a distinctive sounding sports exhaust system.
The new Porsche Communication Management celebrates its SUV debut in the Macan GTS.
The Macan GTS can be recognised at first glance thanks to a range of exterior accents finished in black, this includes high gloss in the upper and matt finish in the lower areas of the car, as well as GTS-specific colouring, that comes as standard.
For the first time, the Macan GTS is also available with the option of LED headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus which guarantees optimum illumination of the road under all conditions.
The deliveries of the Macan GTS will commence in March, 2016. The basic retail price in Qatar is QR290,800.
