Porsche announced its second-ever electric vehicle, the hotly anticipated Macan SUV, starting at the surprisingly-affordable-for-a-Porsche price of $80,450. This marks the first time the sports car maker has electrified one of its preexisting vehicles. The new Macan will sport a 100kWh battery, 95kWh of which is usable, and an 800-volt architecture for fast-charging capabilities.
The Macan looks to be ridiculously aerodynamic, with a drag coefficient of 0.25. This is achieved with active cooling flaps on the front air intakes, flexible covers on the sealed underbody, and air curtains below the headlights. For the first time, Porsche says the Macan will come with optional rear-axle steering, which enables a maximum steering angle of five degrees. This allows for a compact turning circle of 36.
