Production "Porsche": model "Macan". Porsche "Makan" 2014 - the most interesting about the long-awaited German SUV

What is the first thing I would like to say about the Macan model? Porsche has released a new mid-size crossover produced by the world-famous German concern. Initially, it was planned to be called in another way - Porsche Cajun. So, it's worth telling about this model, because it was really expected.

About the history of creating the model Macan

Porsche Macan in the line of the company "Porsche" became the second in a row vsedorozhnikom. The first was, as you might guess, the very Cayenne. The world premiere of the new car was held in Los Angeles in 2013. Sales in Europe began early last year, 2014. Earlier it was said that the basis of this car was put the chassis from its "relative" on the platform - Audi Q5. However, in its design the manufacturer decided to use more parts made of aluminum. Due to this decision, the Macan model was made easier. Porsche began to weigh less as much as 130 kilograms. And this is in view of the fact that the "Porsche" dimensions are much larger than that of the Audi Q5.

The length of the SUV is 4675 mm and the width is 1923. The wheelbase has the same value as the Q5. The volume of the trunk is quite good - 500 liters. And it can be increased three times (up to 1500 liters), if you fold the back row backs.

Exterior and interior

This is also an important nuance concerning the Macan model. Porsche received a very original and interesting design. The aggressive front part immediately demonstrates the sporting character of this model. Also, you can not help noticing the sloping roof with a heavily piled back post. Plus to everything - narrow rear lights and a side rear window, which was significantly reduced.

The interior of the car was designed specifically for him. It is very special and unique. Its main feature is the "character". The interior is perfectly in harmony with the exterior of the car. But nevertheless inside is full of space. In addition, it is very comfortable. Due to comfortable high-quality seats and masterfully created by the designers of comfort, it turned out to create a car from which I just do not feel like going out.

Specifications

As power units for a car such as the Porsche Macan, manufacturers have prepared various engines. For example, the modification, known under the "S" marking, boasts a 3-liter V6 compressor engine, whose power is 340 horsepower. It provides the car acceleration to 100 km in 5.5 seconds. And the maximum that the model can reach is 254 km / h.

But, for example, Macan Turbo is set in motion by a 3.6-liter modernized twin-turbo "six". It develops a power of 400 horsepower. With this engine, the crossover reaches hundreds in 4.8 seconds. And the maximum is 260 km / h. Really, powerful indicators for the crossover-all-roads!

But you can still buy a car like Porsche Macan Diesel. Its characteristics also can not but rejoice: 258 horsepower, 3 liters volume - this model can accelerate to 100 km / h in 6.4 seconds. And this is good performance for the car, under the hood of which "registered" diesel engine. The maximum speed, too, can not be called small - 227 km / h. What about the gearbox? The new "Porsche" can operate under the control of either a 6-speed manual gearbox, or under a 7-band "robot" (2 clutches).

Updates

Porsche Macan technical specifications is worthy - this could already be understood. However, not everything is said about them. In 2014, in the spring, for this SUV, a petrol turbocharged "four" with a capacity of two liters became available. It produced 240 horsepower and operated under a 7-speed gearbox. The car with such characteristics reaches a mark of 100 km / h in less than 7 seconds. And its maximum speed is 223 km / h. Excellent performance for a car with a 2-liter power unit!

Manufacturers also promised to produce a 180-horsepower diesel and a 54-hp electric motor. More precisely, the development is already available, it remains only to implement them in the car "Porsche Makan".
