2013 Porsche Macan

Here are 2013 porsche macan concept, specs, and wallpaper. Porsche Macan is newest cars from Porsche for 2013. Macan is name of Indonesian word for tiger. The 2013 Porsche Macan is a compact crossover SUV based on the Audi Q5, initially announced in November 2010 as a development project, and formally announced by Porsche in March 2011, with deliveries expected in mid 2013.

Porsche aims to position the car below the larger Cayenne. The target will be young people who need more than a sports car but can’t bear to move to a Ford Explorer or a Chevy Acacia and who can’t afford the Cayenne or a Range Rover.

Porsche named their new sport SUV as ‘Macan’.  The name Macan is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger and combines suppleness, power, fascination and dynamics – core characteristics of the new off-road car.

Porsche Macan Price

They would prefer to be driving a Cayman or Carrera but know they need space for the kids. With an expected price in the $45-50,000 range, this should limit buyers to active, wealthier 30-45 year old couples with young kids. How big is this market? Not huge, but it is a gap for Porsche and large enough to be worth spending a half a billion dollars to adapt a Q5. It’s something to look forward to.

The Porsche Macan was originally known by its code name Cajun. On February 16, 2012 Porsche announced the final name for the car to be “Macan”. The Macan will be a smaller SUV based off the Audi Q5 platform. This puts the size among the smaller of the SUVs, competitive to the Q5 but also the Volkswagen Tiguan, Range Rover Evoque, BMW X3, and Mercedes Benz GLK. Nobody will buy a small Porsche SUV for serious off-roading, so just who is the target market and how will the vehicle be used?

The 2013 Porsche Macan will be produced alongside the Panamera and the Cayenne in Leipzig, Germany in a newly extended factory. The Porsche Macan is slated for production next year. All we have right now is the sketch above, enough to make the Porsche fanboys daydream. The rest of us will have to wait until Porsche reveals further details about their baby-SUV along with some real pictures, to see what we really have in store for 2013, if at all the world does not end later this year.
