The head box and broadcasting Porsche, Dr. Thomas Casper revealed a few more details about the entry-Level Porsche Macan.
He said that while of course can not reveal the exact date, a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, will be added to the range of existing engines Macan “in 2014, probably at the end.” This engine will be developed by Porsche and is probably two-liter flat and while “high priority” for the Casper is the sound.
Given that the “basic” Macan, the S, wears a 3-liter V6 Performance 340 horses and 460Nm of torque, we can expect that the new entry-level Macan will produce less than 300 horses while on the other hand, the logic requires less consumption 8 liters per 100km and CO2 emissions will not exceed 200 gr/km.
This engine may be used in future Boxster and Cayman, but nothing is official yet.
