A few new pieces of information about the Macan S and Macan Turbo thanks to this latest photo set from Porsche:
— The Macan S on its optional 21-inch 911 Turbo wheels looks as good as the Macan Turbo – with both wearing quad pipes in back. Round for S, squared for Turbo.
— The Macan is so fast…. that the photographer could not keep up! Many of these photos are out-of-focus.
Here are all the latest Macan photos, specs, pricing and details from Porsche — plus a few of the legendary 1978 911 SC Rallye just for fun.

2015 PORSCHE MACAN S

I’ve been a huge fan of the Macan since first seeing the finished show cars last Fall. With Macan S and Macan Turbo variants in the USA launch line-up — it seems like it is hard to go wrong with this latest — and sportiest-so-far — Porsche crossover.
But how does its $49,900 base price feel in real life? Is that a bit steep considering the Cayenne also carries that same base price for 2014?
The base pricing, as many Porsche owners know, is really just a starting point. Finding a car without a single option would be like finding gold coins every day on the way to work — never going to happen.
But the Macan S and Macan Turbo, while smaller than the Cayenne, are seriously potent machines each pushing huge supercharged turbocharged power.
As Porsche has noted a few times, there are not very many other hardcore mid-size SUVs in the Macan’s price range. That is sure to change soon from BMW and especially from Audi with the new SQ5 — but they do have a point.
No crossovers with 400-plus horsepower look this outstanding in real life, that is a certainty.
Included here are my 50 latest high-res photos, plus previous animations and tallpaper collages of this hot new crossover.
