Porsche has expanded its all-electric SUV lineup with the Macan GTS, a high-performance, driver-focused model that brings the iconic GTS badge to the fully electric Macan for the first time. Combining sporty design, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional driving dynamics, the Macan GTS sets a new benchmark in the premium electric SUV segment.
Performance and Powertrain
The Macan GTS features the most powerful rear-axle electric motor in the Macan Electric lineup, paired with a front-axle electric motor. Together, they deliver 380 kW (516 PS), which rises to 420 kW (571 PS) of overboost power using Launch Control, generating a maximum torque of 955 Nm. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h takes just 3.8 seconds, with a sprint to 200 km/h in 13.3 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.
The 100 kWh high-voltage battery provides a WLTP range of up to 586 km, and fast-charging capability allows 10–80% charging in just 21 minutes with a peak power of 270 kW. The Sport Chrono Package, standard in the GTS, now includes track mode from the Taycan, enhancing battery cooling and sustained high-performance driving.
Handling and Driving Dynamics
The Macan GTS combines rear-biased weight distribution (48:52), a low center of gravity, and intelligent power management. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, Porsche Traction Management (ePTM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), and an electronically controlled rear differential lock.
The sports air suspension, refined with GTS-specific tuning, features level control and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), lowering the ride height by 10 mm. Optional rear-axle steering further enhances agility and cornering precision, while the Porsche Electric Sport Sound (PESS) provides two distinctive sound profiles for Sport and Sport Plus modes.
Exterior Design
The Macan GTS sports black-accented styling on the front, sides, and rear, including tinted Matrix LED headlights, redesigned side skirts, and a black rear diffuser panel. Standard 21-inch Macan Design wheels in Anthracite Grey are available, with optional 22-inch RS Spyder Design wheels. Porsche introduces three new exterior colors for the GTS: Carmine Red, Lugano Blue, and Crayon, complementing the 15 existing shades and nearly 60 additional colors via the Paint to Sample program.
Interior Features
The interior reflects a sporty, driver-focused theme, with extended Race-Tex upholstery, black leather accents, and optional GTS Interior Package offering color coordination between exterior and interior. This includes contrast stitching, seat belts, GTS lettering, and Carbon Interior trim. The digital cockpit displays the exterior color and includes 3D vehicle visualization, lap timing, telemetry recording, and sector analysis via the Sport Chrono Package app.
Technology, Assistance, and Comfort
The Macan GTS comes equipped with the latest driver assistance systems, Porsche Digital Key, AI-supported Voice Pilot, enhanced parking assistance, expanded in-car gaming options, and a maximum towing capacity of 2,500 kg.
Conclusion
The launch of the all-electric Macan GTS reinforces Porsche’s commitment to combining high-performance sports car dynamics with sustainable electric mobility. With its powerful drivetrain, agile handling, exclusive design, and advanced technology, the Macan GTS sets a new standard in the luxury electric SUV segment, appealing to both driving enthusiasts and environmentally conscious consumers.
