Porsche Macan T is the first four-door sports car that will bear the Touring DNA, which was previously reserved for the 911 and 718 models.

The Porsche Macan T is powered by a 265-hp 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine. Compared to the much more powerful 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 of the Macan S and GTS, the engine saves 58.8 kilos on the front axle, which helps improve its performance. The 265 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque are sent to all four wheels via the seven-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox. It comes with a top speed of 232 kmph and can sprint from zero to 100 kmph in just 6.2 seconds.

The ride height for the Macan T has been lowered by 15 millimeters compared to the normal Macan. The Porsche Macan T is also sharper thanks to the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system which comes as standard. The anti-roll bars at the front axle have also been revised to make them stiffer, as has the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which has been recalibrated to return more power to the front axle when grip becomes difficult.
