Since then, the sporty crossover has helped Porsche to achieve both high profit margins and sales volume.
At the same time, its relatively affordable price point allowed the legendary performance brand to reach a broader group of buyers.
This week, Porsche introduced a Performance Package for the top-of-the-line Macan Turbo.
It's the most powerful version of the Macan SUV to date.
With the Performance Package, the Macan Turbo's 3.6 liter, twin-turbocharged V6 is recalibrated to produce 440 horsepower - an increase of 40 over the standard Turbo.
As a result, Porsche claims a 0-60 time of just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 169 mph. In addition, the Performance Package also gives the Macan larger, 390 millimeter brakes, lowered sports suspension, and a sports exhaust. On top of that, the Macan's PDK dual-clutch transmission has been calibrated to deliver quicker shift times.
