Mach-E vs. 2024 Porsche Macan EV - design, specs, price

[LincolnLuvr]

Rear taillights look Polestar 4-ish!

Conflicting info on range. The Electrek source says 310 miles WLTP on the 100 kWh battery. Other sources say higher.

5.1 sec 0-60 with the base model and 3.3 sec with the Turbo.
Higher BHP and Torque on the base model vs the MME Premium and yet slower to 60 - must be a heavy baby. It does look gooooood though!

I do need to do a better job at spell checking

That's reludicrus! no one got time for that.

To be clear, those are the 0-100 kph times (0-62 mph), so the 0-60 will be slightly faster.

Porsche also tends to be conservative. I wouldn’t be surprised if testing reveals 2.9 0-60.

I like the power numbers! Higher than expected!

“with a maximum output of 630bhp and 834lb ft of torque.”

You are gonna feel that torque number, good golly!

Thanks for clarifying!
Still a bit disappointed by the base numbers. The Turbo on the other hand is going to be a blast!

The car looks awesome in every respect except range. And I am afraid nobody is going to offer significantly more range until battery technology improves.

The bottom line is battery capacity = range. 100 kWh isn't going to even get close to 350 miles at highway speeds. The MME has 91 kWh usable, and assuming 100 kWh is usable, it isn't a big increase. And not enough for me. If they could put 130 kWh in there I would really perk up.

Interesting. I would actually go the opposite direction.

If you could get a smaller/lighter 75 kWh battery for less money (but still get all the horsepower) that would interest me more.

Then again, in 2 years, I have only been below 50% charge once. So more performance for less money is more interesting to me than a huge heavy expensive battery

First test shows 320 miles on the base model at 70mph for most of the trip (I believe right around 63mph average). It's not 350 for sure, but it's also more than any MME at that speed.

The lower drag coefficient definitely helps with that - but to your point, significantly higher range numbers will probably require new tech.

Maybe take a look at the Smart Brabus - it's pretty fast and powerful, with a pretty small battery.

I do belive the Macan will have a more efficient drive train compared with the MME, as it was designed and manufactured years after the MME. However, I am skeptical the range is as good as prototype testing has shown. Time will tell. Maybe they did some aero magic.
