T TIME IN STUTTGART
To inject more driving pleasure into the base Macan, Porsche now offers a T version that bundles the performance and handling options enthusiasts want. The 261-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four remains, but standard equipment includes 20-inch wheels with summer tires and Sport Chrono with launch control. Combine the optional air springs with the
T’s stiffer anti-roll bars and optional brake-based torque vectoring, and the Macan T acts more like a sports wagon than a compact SUV. We expect the T to start around $63,000 (as much as a base Macan with all the handling bits). —Connor Hoffman
