The electrified revolution at Porsche has gained another powerful and highly engaging entry. Today, the legendary German marque pulled the covers off the first-ever all-electric Macan GTS, solidifying its commitment to blistering performance in the age of the EV.
The “Gran Turismo Sport” designation has always stood for the sweet spot in the Porsche lineup—a perfect blend of daily usability and track-ready dynamics—and this new electric variant is engineered to exceed that tradition. It’s not just an electric Macan; it’s a purebred GTS.
Power, Instantaneous
At the heart of the new Macan GTS is an electrifying dual-motor powertrain. Utilizing the powerful rear-axle motor shared with the Macan Turbo, this crossover delivers exceptional punch:
- Maximum Power: Up to 420 kW (563 hp) using the Overboost function with Launch Control.
- Torque: A massive 704 lb-ft is available instantaneously.
- 0-60 mph: A blistering sprint in just 3.6 seconds.
While positioned between the Macan 4S and the Macan Turbo in the lineup, the GTS is clearly focused on delivering a visceral, rear-biased driving experience—a true testament to the GTS ethos.
Chassis Tuned for the Track
Power is only half the story; for a GTS, handling is paramount. Porsche engineers have endowed the electric Macan GTS with a host of bespoke performance features:
- Sport-Tuned Air Suspension: Standard with GTS-specific calibration, dropping the ride height for the lowest center of gravity in the Macan Electric family.
- Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus): Comes standard, utilizing an electronically controlled limited-slip differential on the rear axle to optimize traction and cornering agility.
- Weight Distribution: A slightly rear-biased 48:52 distribution enhances the car’s dynamic character.
- Track Mode: The standard Sport Chrono package includes a Track Endurance Mode, inherited from the Taycan, which preconditions and manages battery temperature for sustained high-performance driving.
The Signature GTS Look
In true Gran Turismo Sport fashion, the electric Macan GTS gets distinctive visual cues. The aggressive stance is accentuated by unique exterior design elements and the signature GTS black accents:
- Black Details: Tinted Matrix LED headlights, black side blades, and black trim on the rear diffuser panel define the look.
- Wheels: Standard 21-inch Macan Design alloy wheels in an Anthracite Grey finish.
- Interior: The cabin features Race-Tex and leather upholstery, with the option of a GTS Interior Package that color-coordinates stitching and trim with your exterior paint, including the classic Carmine Red.
Charging and Availability
Built on Porsche’s advanced 800-volt Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the Macan GTS offers competitive charging speed and range.
- Battery: A 100 kWh battery pack (95 kWh usable).
- Fast Charging: Capable of charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 21 minutes at a suitable DC fast charger, with a peak rate of 270 kW.
- Range: (Preliminary) Combined WLTP range is up to 586 kilometers (estimated to be competitive with the Macan Turbo’s EPA range).
The all-electric Porsche Macan GTS is available to order now, with the first models expected to arrive at dealerships in Spring 2026. With a starting MSRP of $103,000, the Macan GTS positions itself as the ultimate choice for the driver who demands visceral performance without compromise, perfectly executed in an electric crossover package.
