Those who were a bit disappointed about the output of the most powerful variant of the Macan should put down their tar and feathers, as Porsche is readying a Turbo S version of the SUV, as the camouflaged pre-production prototype in the following spy video announces.
Shot by TouriClips on the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife, this camouflaged Macan Turbo may very well be of the “S” variety for two major reasons.
For starters, the Macan has been unveiled for quite some time now, so why would Porsche test a camouflaged model when everyone already knows how it looks like? As for the possibility of being a GTS version, they usually arrive after the top of the range variant.
Currently, there is obviously no official info regarding the specifications of the upcoming Macan Turbo S, but we can certainly guess that it will offer somewhere around 440-450 hp.
The only problem with those numbers would be the fact that the Porsche Macan Turbo S might actually be faster than a Cayenne Turbo, but then again, the two models are already stepping on each other’s toes as it is.
For what it’s worth, the Cayenne remains exclusive for the V8 crowd, while the Macan’s largest engine will still remain a “puny” V6. With the “regular” Macan Turbo hitting 100 km/h (62 mph) from 0 in just 4.8 seconds, can you guess how much faster will the Turbo S could be?
