Four-tenths have been sliced off the zero to 100km/h sprint of the Porsche Macan Turbo thanks to the addition of a new Performance Package option now available locally.

The 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine has copped a 30kW and 50Nm boost to now produce 324kW and 600Nm, the latter spread between 1500rpm and 4500rpm, and teamed with the seven-speed dual clutch automatic the Macan Turbo Performance Pack manages a claimed 4.4-second 0-100km/h.

Porsche has dropped the standard Macan Turbo’s air suspension (dubbed PASM, or Porsche Active Suspension Management) by a further 10mm, while the front discs are now 30mm larger and the full Sport Chrono launch control package and sports exhaust is included.

Further options still abound, of course, including a Turbo Exterior Package featuring 21-inch alloys, LED headlights and black detail highlights, while the Turbo Interior Package adds black leather/Alcantara interior, and coloured appliques with carbonfibre flourishes.
