Macan EV on sale for late 2022 [?]

[Percymon]

With the weight, and it wearing a Porsche badge, they are going to need an entry model with 350-400bhp equiv, and the top model with 600+

Heck you can buy a Volvo EV with over 400bhp now, and a Polestar 2 LRDM saloon with 470

Sorry mate. We’re talking the last ICE version of the Macan and them running on production due to delays in the new EV.

I think Percymon May be right though even for an ICE. 500bhp would be barely 10% more than current GTS (allegedly) and not sure an extra sixty odd horses would make all that much difference.
If we are playing the “wishing game” I would like to see an AMG munching Macan at around 600bhp

I reckon Litchfield Motors could easily get 600hp out of a Gen III GTS (or S).

Ok so we’re in a agreement then that the next one needs to be 600hp +
I’m in

Agreed. I will draft a letter to Porsche HQ immediately.
Expect to see first prototype by the end of the month and full production by Q4 ‘22.
First deliveries end of ‘26 when the IT bugs are sorted…

Yes I think you are right Simon - might be a little “highly strung” for everyday use though…

God I hope so. A 500bhp version would be so good.

By the time they eventually get this to market it'll need 600bhp to make any impression on the competition. Porsche ponies might traditionally be strong but 500 wont be enough

In fairness the 2.9v6 engine should be good for 600hp. Let hope they go full beans!

I do really think you are forgetting the need to meet EU7 emission regs

There are no regs in our fantasy world PMG
