GTS: These three simple letters have enjoyed a special reputation among Porsche enthusiasts ever since the 904 Carrera GTS of 1963. Now and for the first time, an all-electric Macan carries this iconic legend. This version (we introduced the standard Macan electric vehicle (EV) earlier this year) is the latest addition to the Porsche electric SUV model line and offers outstanding driving dynamics and exceptional acceleration figures. The sprint from 0-62MPH (100 km/h) takes just 3.8 seconds, reaching 124MPH (200 km/h) in a swift 13.3 seconds, with a top speed limited to 155MPH (250 km/h).
The Power
Like the Macan Turbo, the Macan GTS features the most powerful rear-axle electric motor in the model series which delivers 380 kW (509BHP / 516 PS equivalent) in combination with the electric motor on the front axle, rising to 420 kW (563BHP / 571 PS equivalent) of over-boost power with Launch Control and a maximum torque of 955 Nm.
Again, as with the Macan Turbo, the transmission is specially designed to withstand the enormous torque of the performance models. The Macan GTS offers a combined official range of up to 586 kilometres. At a suitable fast-charging station, the 100 kWh high-voltage battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 21 minutes, with a peak charging capacity of 270 kW.
The must-have ‘Sport Chrono Package’ is thankfully fitted as standard this time and has been expanded to include the ‘track mode’ familiar from the prestige German brand’s Taycan EV, which prepares the car for particularly high-performance driving. The mode increases the level of battery cooling, minimising power loss caused by heat build-up, resulting in noticeably improved performance under sustained load.
The Ride
The new Macan GTS delivers its power in true sports car style, just as a Porsche should, by combining rear-biased weight distribution, a low centre of gravity and intelligent power management. Alongside the all-wheel-drive system with fast-reacting electronic ‘Porsche Traction Management’, ‘Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus’ is also included as standard.
The electronically controlled differential lock enhances traction and agility, positioned directly behind the rear motor to help achieve the 48:52 rear-biased weight distribution. The Macan GTS also features the lowest centre of gravity in the model line. Engineers have specially refined the sports air suspension, which features level control and ‘Porsche Active Suspension Management’. The 10mm lower ride height and model-specific damper and anti-roll bar tuning provide exceptional agility and cornering precision, which can also be further enhanced with optional rear-axle steering.
The Exterior
Although the model broadly speaking looks the same as the regular car, there are a number of distinct differences and new features. The new Macan GTS’s appearance is characterised by various black-painted details on the front, sides and rear, defining signature elements of all Porsche GTS models. Particularly striking are the tinted Matrix LED headlights and strongly contoured outer edges above the airblades.
Incidentally, from early next year (2026), Porsche will offer a new ‘Sport Design Package’ for all Macan models, including new front and rear aprons. The Macan GTS will be the first model to receive it; not only as standard but also with GTS-specific styling. The contrast elements, such as inserts, side blades, wheel arch trims and the lip of the adaptive rear spoiler, are finished in black.
Redesigned side skirts, which widen towards the rear, also contribute to the car’s purposeful appearance. The lower rear section features a striking design with black trim and a pronounced diffuser panel, while the tail-lights are tinted to match the headlights. The GTS is fitted with 21 inch Macan Design alloy wheels in ‘Anthracite Grey’ as standard; 22inch RS Spyder Design wheels in the same finish are available among many options.
The Premium Interior
To continue the sporty appearance inside, the interior of the MacanGTS features extended Race-Tex upholstery with elements finished in black smooth leather. Race-Tex is featured on the heated multifunction GT Sports steering wheel, the armrests of the centre console and door panels and also the dashboard. The centre panels of the adaptive 18-way adjustable Sports Seats are also upholstered in Race-Tex, while the seat bolsters and headrests are finished in fine leather.
For the first time on the Macan Electric, the optional ‘GTS Interior Package’ allows colour coordination between the exterior and interior. To match the corresponding exterior paint colours, the package is available in ‘Carmine Red’, ‘Slate Grey Neo’ or ‘Lugano Blue’. The contrasting decorative stitching on the seats, steering wheel, door panels and upper part of the dashboard are finished in the respective colour, as are the seat belts and the ‘GTS’ lettering on the seats. The steering wheel also features a badge with colour-matched ‘GTS’ lettering. The package also includes the ‘Carbon Interior Package’, adding carbon-fibre trim to the steering wheel, dashboard and door panels.
The GTS theme continues in the digital cockpit. The car’s actual exterior colour is reflected in the 3D vehicle visualisation on the central display, and the instrument cluster features ‘GTS’ lettering. Many of the functions of the equipped-as-standard ‘Sport Chrono Package’, such as lap timing, telemetry recording and sector analysis, can be accessed via the corresponding app in the central display.
The GTS also benefits from the latest updates introduced across the Macan model range, which brought further improvements in relation to driver assistance systems and digital functions. These include the Porsche Digital Key as an addition to the physical key, new parking assistance functions, AI-supported ‘Voice Pilot’, and an increased maximum towing capacity of 2,500 kilograms.
