I think at the time that was a Audi engine, basically I dont think there is an actually porsche engine available in the Macan so theres that. I am rambling


Funny enough I also have a GTI on order. Not sure what’s going on with that. Also not sure how I feel about the mk 8 interior nonsense.

As for the macan, yeah all the current engines are shared with Audi. The v6 is nkw the 2.9 version found in the RS5 (and also panamera) but they tune it to different power levels got the S and GTS. Previously, the S used the 3.0 Audi v6 found in the s5, a6, etc. I think when the macan was first launched they may have used the Porsche designed v6 from the 1st gen panamera but not sure.
