With all the subtly of a sledgehammer, Porsche is releasing photos and info on its upcoming Macan crossover—little brother to the Cayenne—one crumb at a time. We're only a month from the Macan's debut at the L.A. auto show, but in order to keep us entertained until then, Porsche has posted a few photos of Macan prototypes—with no more camo than Scotch tape covering the head- and taillamps—to its Facebook page.
As it turns out, the headlights and most of the crossover's front end are very Cayenne-like, albeit slightly more aggressive, so the subtle tape job works seamlessly. The profile, too, apes its big brother, although the wheelbase betrays the Macan's stubbier proportions.
- Comparison Test: 2012 BMW X5 M vs. 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
- Instrumented Test: 2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel
- First Drive: 2013 Audi SQ5 TDI
As we discovered earlier this year via information leaked from a Porsche dealer meeting, the Macan will launch with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 serving in the S model, as well as a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6 powering the Macan Turbo. Final details, as well as a full reveal of the baby Porsche crossover, will be revealed next month, live from Los Angeles.
