The SUV Sports Car - Porsche Macan S
_____________________________________________________
In the world of SUVs, Porsche is perhaps the best at creating big cars that are fun to drive. A few decades ago, it was all about towing weights, mud-plugging ability, and space. If your 4X4 could take the family on a trip away whilst doing its winter workhorse duties without a fuss…well, that was good enough. But now. Oh. Now, people want their SUVs to handle, cosset them, and give them all the technology they could ever wish for at their fingertips. A tall order, but one that Porsche has more than managed to fulfil with its offerings over the years.
Our Porsche Macan S is all about style, elegance, refinement, and a sporting demeanour. None of which you could apply to the Jeeps and Land Cruisers of yesteryear. Boasting over £23,000 of optional features, our Macan S takes the game on even further by introducing features which you would more commonly find on even more exclusive derivatives.
Design-wise, enormous 21-inch 911 Turbo Design alloy wheels, black exterior trim elements, and a sports exhaust system with silver tailpipes provide a real sense of occasion. The exterior colour, Carmine Red, is bold, vibrant, rich, and smile-inducing. It turns heads. And not in a negative way. No, people like the Macan. It reminds them of Christmas, and who doesn’t want to have a burst of excitement on their daily commute?
Of course, it is only when you get behind the wheel that you truly get to appreciate the work of Porsche’s boffins. It is no GT3, and nor would you expect it to be, but it gets very close. For an SUV – a type of car not inherently sporty or with a particularly low centre of gravity – it handles remarkably well. The steering is direct and precise, the suspension set just-so, and the throttle response perfectly configured. It’s an absolute masterpiece.
A Black smooth-finish leather interior, panoramic glass roof, fabulous BOSE surround sound system, supportive 18-way electric adaptive sports seats, Park Assist with surround view cameras, power steering plus, and an electrically extending tow bar system are just a brief sample of some of the options which make the Macan a truly versatile machine.
Have a look for yourself; you won’t be disappointed.
