2014 Porsche Macan specs leaked

Porsche will full reveal the new Macan SUV at the Los Angeles show in about a week, but details of the crossover range's outputs and weights have purportedly just leaked online from a Chinese brochure. The spec sheet, leaked by Autohome in China, appears to show the power outputs and curb weights of the Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo.

The sheet notes the entry level Macan S's twin-turbo 3.0-litre engine as developing 250kW of power and 460Nm of torque, while the diesel model's 3.0-litre V6 offers 190kW and 580Nm. The top-spec Macan Turbo's twin-turbo direct-inject 3.6-litre V6 is cited giving 294kW and 550Nm.

The Turbo might be the post powerful, but it's also the weightiest, tipping the scales at 1947kg, compared with the Macan S at 1928kg and the diesel at 1898kg.

The brochure also mentions 0-100km/h accleration figures for all three drivetrains, with the Macan S Diesel managing 6.2 seconds, the petrol Macan S 5.5 seconds. and the Turbo a very impressive 4.8 seconds. As previously reported -- when the last tidbits were leaked -- Porsche may also later bring a lower base model four-cylinder engine to the Macan range.
