The Porsche Macan Turbo returns for the 2020 model year with quicker acceleration, a higher top track speed and improved braking ability over the preceding Macan Turbo model.

A 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine generates 434 hp from 5,700 rpm to 6,600 rpm and 405 lb-ft of torque from 1,800 rpm to 5,600 rpm, enabling a 0-60 mph sprint of 4.3 seconds, or 4.1 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package.

In addition to a new powertrain, the standard equipment list gains several performance focused items. They include Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, which offer an improvement in both stopping power and aesthetics over the brakes of the preceding model.

Brake rotors coated in an ultra-hard layer of tungsten carbide reduce brake dust by up to 90 percent and provide sharper a response to pedal input from the driver. White calipers help visually define these brakes, underscoring the reduction in brake dust. After an initial driving period, the rotors also take on a mirror-like finish.

A Sport Exhaust system also joins the list of standard performance equipment, further elevating the level of emotional engagement that this model offers. By default, 20-inch Macan Turbo wheels are also standard and offer a one-inch increase in standard wheel diameter. Porsche Active Suspension Management dampers are also standard equipment.

An exclusive front fascia with three large air intakes, Sport Design side Skirts and Sport Design exterior mirrors in body color differentiate this model, as do dual strip LED fog lights above the left-front and right-front air intakes. LED headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System are standard equipment. The same revised rear light design that characterizes the rest of the Macan model line is also incorporated in the new Macan Turbo along with a redesigned fixed rear roof spoiler specific to the Turbo model.
