Porsche have given a first glimpse of the new all-electric Macan EV, showing off the new tech, engineering and software powering one of the sports car brand’s bestsellers into the electric era. The Macan is more than 10 years old and is yet to see any electrification. The new e-Macan ushers in the electric age and leapfrogs the hybrid generation entirely, while keeping a hold of the performance, practicality and design cues that make the current model such a success. Prototypes of the new Macan have long been spied rounding the roads around Porsche HQ and Zuffenhausen for months, with two million miles the aim for durability testing. The new e-Macan is based on the Volkswagen Group’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) – developed jointly by Porsche and Audi. Every electric Macan will be all-wheel drive from launch, too, with a motor on each axel. Even the entry-level Macan E will provide more than 430bhp from its four motors – and some 240kW of regen is possible.
