The term “driver’s car<\/a>” gets used a lot here at supercars.net, and the Porsche Macan is one of those partly responsible for this. This is in spite of it being in fact, a crossover, which is not traditionally synonymous with the pure thrills normally afforded by the world’s most loved performance cars.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, this has been the case even before the newest Macan trim arrived, with Porsche<\/a>‘s sportscar DNA having been infused in the nimble\u2014if not diminutive\u2014SUV since day one. Now through the Macan, the German automaker has elevated that philosophy to the next level by applying a tried and true formula to their hugely popular platform. The equation is quite simple really, and it only involves one letter: T<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In recent times, the “T” moniker has become arguably Porsche’s best representation of what it means to be a “driver’s car”. Everything you need for unfettered access to an automobile’s most driver-centric qualities; nothing more, and certainly, nothing less. Contemporary derivatives of this blueprint include the Porsche 911 (991) <\/a>Carrera<\/a> T <\/a>\u00a0and the Porsche Cayman\/Boxster (718) T.<\/a><\/p>\n

For the Macan, it’s very much the same T-reatment the other cars received. That being, a more spartan, stripped down version of the crossover, sparingly equipped with only the parts necessary to create the anatomy of a thoroughly driver-focused car. Perhaps only the absence of a manual transmission is preventing the Macan T from truly being held in the same esteem as the other T models, but in today’s marketplace, that would sadly be heresy.<\/p>\n

Ultimately,\u00a0 you can expect the same powerplant used in the base Macan\u2014a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4<\/strong> which produces 261 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque<\/strong>\u2014but with noticeably sharper handling and enhanced driving dynamics. Yet, it’s still good for 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds<\/strong>; not exactly pokey for what Porsche is marketing as the “value pick” within the Macan roster.<\/p>\n

While details such as Air Suspension and Porsche Torque Vectoring+ remain as options, this keeps the Macan T from becoming bloated with most of the features (and the accompanying higher base price) that its target market would likely want to forgo, anyway.<\/p>\n

Performance-oriented features such as Active Suspension Management and Sport Chrono Package are standard, with the all-wheel drive system (mated to a 7-speed PDK) also tuned to be more rear-biased in the Macan T. Also part of the standard fare are 20″ wheels, as are unique interior accents and exterior badging which help further differentiate the Macan T from its stablemates.<\/p>\n

Base pricing hasn’t yet been confirmed for the Macan T\u2014which will be designated as a 2023 model in time with its production\u2014but it is expected to slot in between the base model and Macan S in that regard. This will place it in the low $60K USD range. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s important to note that the distinct demographic of Macan T buyers should be less inclined to option-out their cars as lavishly as your typical base Macan build, making it perhaps the cheapest Macan trim for sale today\u2014and it already had me at “driver’s car”.<\/p>\n
