Review Automotive 2017 Porsche Macan GTS Packs 360 HP and 369 LB-FT of Torque

Review automotive Following the example set by whatever is left of the cutting edge Porsche lineup, the Porsche Macan gets the GTS treatment for the 2017 model year. Like alternate models that share the GTS moniker, the execution of the new Macan falls some place in the center, right in the middle of the Macan S and the top-end Macan Turbo.

To kick things off, the new Macan GTS sports a retuned ECU for its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, which gives a 20 hp and 30 lb-ft support in yield over the base Macan S, for a sum of 360 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Force is sent to each of the four wheels through Porsche's seven-speed double grasp PDK transmission, permitting the spicier Macan to break 60 mph in 4.8 seconds with the Sport Chrono bundle. Keep your foot to the firewall, and the GTS will achieve 159 mph.

In advance, the 2017 Porsche Macan GTS includes bigger 14.2-inch rotors from the Turbo model, with the back circles remaining 13 inches in diamater. Air suspension and Porsche's Active Suspension Management (PASM) comes standard, alongside a 0.4-inch drop in ride stature when contrasted and the Turbo.

In ordinary GTS style, the inside is covered in Alcantara softened cowhide surfaces, with differentiating safety belts and sewing. In the focal point of the gage group, the tachometer is brilliant red. Matte-dark badging and trimming advances around the outside, alongside the standard 20-inch RS Spyder wheels.

The 2017 Porsche Macan GTS stickers in at $68,195 including destination, and will be accessible at merchants starting in March of 2016. That puts it halfway value savvy between the $53,595 Maca S and the $74,895 Turbo.
