Bolted between the Macan Turbo's front fenders is a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 that develops 434 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. It hooks up to a seven-speed automatic transmission that sends power to standard all-wheel drive. While we haven't driven the new Turbo, Porsche claims it'll be quicker than the outgoing model and have a slightly higher top speed of 167 mph. Additionally, it'll feature a standard sport-exhaust system for a burlier sound as well as surface-coated brakes that reduce brake dust and should provide a sharper pedal response. Likewise, every 2020 Macan Turbo gets adaptive dampers and 20-inch wheels; an air suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes are both optional. The last Macan Turbo we tested had a supple ride that was well controlled in Comfort mode and firm in each suspension's Sport mode. Every model we've driven handled exceptionally well, with little body roll and tons of grip. In fact, most of the vehicles in this class have cornering grip that would have done the best sports sedans proud not that many years ago. The Turbo’s steering isn’t quite as communicative as in Porsche’s sports cars—which is about as good as steering gets—but it is quick and very accurate.
