Porsche Macan
This new model is the latest SUV to join the Porsche family. Its silhouette is somewhat inspired by the Cayenne, but in smaller format. Its platform, on the other hand, is more like that of the 911 but with one caveat: the engine’s in front. There are two possible V6 engines, a 3.0L 340-hp and, for power enthusiasts, a 3.4L 400-hp. The PDK automatic transmission is a given.
