Chassis and dynamics

Setup exclusive to the Macan T for optimum dynamics

The Porsche Macan is the sports car of its segment. The Macan T strengthens this claim even further with a combination of powertrain and chassis technology that is exclusive to this model: The first Macan with a four-cylinder engine is equipped with steel-sprung suspension lowered by 15 mm and features Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

The chassis has been recalibrated for the Macan T and its comparatively low front axle load. Its exclusive tuning and stiffer anti-roll bars on the front axle ensure reduced body roll during cornering and a direct steering feel. With increased agility, playful handling and an ability to deliver plenty of driving pleasure, the Macan T also completely retains long-distance comfort and everyday usability.

The Macan T can also be optionally equipped with air suspension including PASM, which lowers the ride height by a further 10 mm. This chassis combination, alongside a four-cylinder engine, is exclusively available on the T model. The chassis has been specifically adapted for the Macan T and now has stiffer anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. Even at its normal level, the lower centre of gravity provides an additional boost to driving dynamics. In Sport Plus mode, the suspension is lowered by a further 10 mm, thereby maximising performance.

Porsche Traction Management with new tuning

Porsche Traction Management (PTM) has also undergone model-specific tuning. In order to fully unleash the purist character of a Touring model, the Macan T offers all-wheel drive with a particularly pronounced rear-wheel bias. This makes driving on winding country roads in particular an even more pleasurable experience. If desired, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) with specific tuning can further sharpen the driving dynamics.
