Porsche Macan T: Technical data and start of sales

Porsche has a Macan T on offer for the first time. The SUV with the special abbreviation was presented on February 17th. You can find out what the “T” is all about with us. We also have pictures and further information for you.

The Macan can count itself lucky. As the first four-door sports car model, it was given the special abbreviation T. Until now, this was reserved for the 911 and 718 models. Before only the electric Macan is sold from 2024, the purist clientele will get a special treat.

  • T stands for Touring
  • Targeted tuning and exclusive equipment
  • Very dynamic setup
  • Lowered as standard
  • GT Sport elements in the interior
  • Prices from 69,462 euros
  • Orders start immediately, deliveries from April 2022

Exterior design

Don’t let the abbreviation T confuse you, although it stands for Touring, with Porsche that in no way means that it is a cozy, practical, and rather less sporty car. But on the contrary! For many years, the manufacturer has been using the T to designate models that are characterized by particularly puristic sportiness.

Visually, this has been implemented in some design elements. You have the choice between 13 paint finishes from the normal color palette, but a contrasting tone is also provided for various add-on parts. Exterior mirrors, front panel, roof spoiler, and the lettering on the rear are finished in achaat gray metallic.

The strips around the windows and the tailpipes are in bright black. The Macan T has 20-inch wheels as standard and inserts are attached to the flanks that carry the “Macan T” lettering again.

Engines

When it comes to sportiness, then of course we look specifically at the engines. The Porsche Macan T comes exclusively with a 265 hp two-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine. 400 Newton meters of maximum torque are also available. Macan fans will have noticed that this is the engine that is also installed in the basic model – unfortunately, you don’t get an increase in performance with the Macan T.

But the acceleration from 0-100 km/h is 6.2 seconds thanks to the standard sports Chrono package and the corresponding driving modes – i.e. 0.2 seconds faster than the basic model. The top speed is the same again and is 232 km/h.

A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission sends power to all four wheels, so the all-wheel drive is also available. What is special again is that the Macan T has been lowered by 15 millimeters, resulting in more direct steering behavior and more agile handling.

If you have a little more money in hand, you can optionally have air suspension installed, which lowers the Macan T by another ten millimeters.

Like the exterior, the interior has special T-model details. These include door sills made of black aluminum, the covers are a combination of black leather and striped fabric. A steering wheel heating as standard, a sports Chrono package with a characteristic stopwatch on the dashboard and the revised infotainment system are also included.

In addition, the Porsche emblem is embossed on the seats and headrests and the multifunction GT sports steering wheel has silver-colored contrasting embroidery.

Porsche Macan T Price

If you opt for the Macan T, you get a puristic look, agile handling but no huge performance. In terms of price, the starting price is 69,462 euros, and the order books are now open. Porsche expects the first deliveries from April 2022.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
