Porsche’s lightweight-special Macan T makes the most of its engine thanks in part to its massively upgraded suspension.
In keeping with the German automaker's lingo,"T" stands for"Touring" and was traditionally reserved for lightweight models with some extra performance equipment thrown in for good measure. So for the first time ever, there's a Macan T, meaning it sits between the base and S models in terms of price and equipment.The 2024 Porsche Macan T comes equipped with the same engine as the base-model Macan, a turbocharged 2.
The optional adaptive air suspension adjusts ride height depending on velocity and drive mode, to deliver superb ride comfort and chassis composition. The Macan T soaked up and dismissed pavement imperfections during our road trip while maintaining stability at highway speeds.
We also accomplished better straight-line acceleration than Porsche states in its official specs; the company claims the Macan T accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, but we achieved a time of 5.3 seconds at the track. In our closed-course evaluations, we loved the small SUV's brake tuning; the pedal feel was excellent, and stops were short and consistent. The ABS is non-intrusive, and the Macan tracks straight under heavy braking.
