Porsche produces its one millionth Macan

MANILA: Porsche has produced its one millionth Macan, marking a significant milestone not only for the nameplate but also for the German car brand. 

The said model was a Porsche Macan 4 that is finished in Frozen Blue Metallic. 

Here are some of its notable features: 

• Frozen Blue Metallic paintwork 
• Two-tone interior in Black and Chalk 
• Adaptive sports seat 
• Heated GT Sports leather steering wheel 
• Head-up display 
• Panoramic roof 

Here’s the one-millionth Porsche Macan’s performance figures: 

Maximum power output (in horsepower)	408
Top speed (in kilometers per hour [kph>)	220
Zero to 100 kph acceleration (in seconds)	5.2
Estimated range (in kilometers)	612
Charging time (from 10-80 percent, in minutes)	21

The said compact sport utility vehicle was handed over to its new owner in Germany, at the Porsche Experience Center Leipzig, which is located at the factory. 

“I find the Macan thrilling because of its sporty features combined with its everyday usability,” 62-year-old entrepreneur and owner of the one millionth Porsche Macan Stefan Schmidt noted. 

“Collecting the car from the factory here in Leipzig, as well as experiencing the track with its corners based on those from other famous circuits, are definitely highlights. Today I truly felt the passion of the Porsche brand up close,” he added. 

Porsche Macan and the Leipzig plant

According to the carmaker, the compact SUV has been produced in its Leipzig plant since 2013 and has achieved great popularity worldwide ever since. 

“The Macan is inseparably linked to Leipzig,” Porsche Leipzig GmbH Chairman of the Management Board Gerd Rupp said in a press release. 

“The model represents growth and change like no other. It symbolizes both the expansion of the site into a full factory between 2011 and 2013 and the start of the plant’s entry into the era of electromobility,” he added. 

Per the Stuttgart-headquartered marque, the decision to use its Leipzig facility for the production of the Porsche Macan led to the factory’s assembly plant being extensively expanded and developed into a full factory with its own body shop and paint shop. 

“With the Macan, Porsche has developed over the past 12 years into one of the most important economic drivers and employers in the Central Germany region,” Rupp was quoted saying. 

In 2024, the second-generation Porsche Macan, which features a fully electric drive system, went into series production. 

On that note, Porsche’s Leipzig complex is now once again expanding, with an additional body shop and an axle production facility being introduced. 

Today, the plant produces vehicles with three types of powertrains — combustion, hybrid, and electric, with a high degree of flexibility, and on a single production line.
