2. Macan Turbo will motivate to 62 miles per in 4.8s (4.6 with Sport Chrono) accompanied by all the appropriate snorts, burbles and shouts. You do know that's as fast as a 911 right....

3. Macan S will hit 62 in 5.6 seconds, no slouch for those late night milk runs.
4. There will be 4-cylinders
5. Macan S averages 32.5 mpg, Turbo makes 31.7 mpg. Your mileage may vary depending how much fun you intend to have
6. Sport Chrono will shave .2 seconds off acceleration. Sport Plus will alter shifts and suspension to race mode. Just what you need in a grocery getter...

7. Sports car in the SUV segment, will be head and shoulders the most engaging drive in segment.
8. Vectoring moves the power around. Under normal operation 80% is tipped rearward, but when in trouble Macan will shift the pwer around accordingly. Or if you can handle it swap off PTM, and hit Sport to get tail happy. Wou;dn't that be a fun ride to practice....
