The new Macan is launching with two engines: the GTS and S models are each powered by a six-cylinder V-engine with a displacement of 2.9 liters and two exhaust gas turbochargers. As is usual with all Porsche V-engines, the turbochargers are arranged between the cylinder banks in the so-called Central Turbo layout. Short throttle paths from the combustion chambers to the turbine wheels give the units agile and spontaneous characteristics. A newly developed four-cylinder in-line engine in the Macan combines dynamics and efficiency in a particularly harmonious way. Optimizations in efficiency, friction and acoustics have increased the performance and noise comfort of the turbocharged gasoline engine while at the same time reducing emissions. All powertrains in the new Macan are significantly more powerful than in the respective predecessor model. In order to implement the spontaneous power delivery of the engines as directly as possible, the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) with seven gears continues to transmit the drive torque to the axles. The tried-and-tested Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system always directs power to the rear axle and, if necessary, variably to the front. For the most powerful model, the tuning of the all-wheel drive system has been made even more agile. As an option, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) increases lateral dynamics in all models with a transverse lock on the rear axle and targeted braking interventions.

The new F-PACE SVR is available exclusively with Jaguar’s 550PS 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged petrol engine, now with 700Nm torque – an increase of 20Nm. This uplift in torque delivers enhanced performance, with the F-PACE SVR capable of 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds), three-tenths of a second faster than before, and a top speed of 178mph (286km/h), an increase of 2mph. The powertrain now features the same torque converter used in the record-breaking Jaguar XE SV Project 8 sedan, to withstand the higher loads produced. As well as the improved torque and acceleration, CO2 emissions are also reduced from 281g/km to 275g/km with fuel economy now up to 23.1mpg (12.2l/100km).
ŠKODA crews dominated category WRC3 and collected valuable championship points in WRC2 during Rally Croatia (23-25 April 2021), third round of the FIA World Rally Championship. Kajetan Kajetanowicz/Maciej Szczepaniak (POL/POL) won WRC3 in LOTOS Rally Team’s ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo followed by Emil Lindholm/Mikael Korhonen (FIN/FIN) in a similar car from Toksport WRT. The two crews of ŠKODA Motorsport supported team Toksport WRT in WRC2, Marco Bulacia/Marcelo Der Ohannesian (BOL/ARG) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene (NOR/NOR), reached the finish after 20 stages covering 300.32 kilometres in category third and fifth respectively.
