The Porsche Macan – Ready to go faster - The Manila Times
PGA Cars, the importer of Porsche vehicles in the country, recently hosted the Philippine leg of the Porsche World Road Show (PWRS) at the FIA-certified Clark International Speedway in Pampanga. The Porsche holds the PWRS in only 10 countries worldwide and the Philippines is fortunate enough to be only one of two countries in Asia to host the event. Aside from bringing in their all-new models, Porsche also flew-in world renonwned instructors to teach present and would-be Porsche customers high-performance driving so they can safely and better enjoy what the marque has to offer. The Porsche models that were at my disposal included the new 911/911s, Cayman, Macan, Panamera, Cayenne and Boxster. Strangely enough, it was the Porsche Macan that I was able to fully test. The Macan, which is considered as the “sports car of the compact SUV segment” is available in four flavors: first is the “Macan,” which is powered by a 233-bhp 2. 0-liter petrol four-pot. the Macan S (340-horsepower V6). Macan S Diesel (258-hp V6). and the 3. 6-liter Macan Turbo that is only available through special order. For a start, it is sometimes hard to distinguish the Macan from the Cayenne—except for the size (the Macan is a tad smaller). Source: www.manilatimes.net
