Porsche Launches New Performance Oriented GTS Trim for Macan EV for 2026

Porsche continues to flesh out the Macan Electric lineup, with the new GTS trim. The second-most powerful model in the stable, behind the Macan Electric Turbo, the new trim produces up to 563 hp and 704 lb-ft of torque with an overboost function. 

At full power, the Macan GTS can accelerate from 0 to 100  km/h in just 3.8 seconds (0.5 seconds slower than the Turbo). Without the overboost function, the dual electric motors (one at each axle) combine to make 509 hp.

The Macan GTS features significant suspension tuning to improve handling. Ride height has been reduced by 10 mm, lowering the centre of gravity of the Macan EV to be the lowest in Porsche’s lineup. Handling can be even further improved with optional rear-wheel steering. For the GTS model, Porsche has also added new sound profiles for Sport and Sport Plus modes to make the driving experience more exhilarating.

Underpinning it all is the same 100 kWh battery pack that can be found in the Macan Turbo. It can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 21 minutes, with a peak charge capacity of 270 kW. At time of writing, exact range figures have not been announced for the GTS model.

The exterior of the GTS receives distinctive touches, specifically the addition of black painted details on the side skirts, side blades, and wheel arches. The trim will come standard with Porsche’s new Sport Design Package, which adds front and rear aprons. As standard, the Macan GTS will come with 21-inch grey rims, and larger 22-inch Spyder RS wheels as an option. Overall, the exterior of the new GTS trim will appear lower, wider, and more aggressive when compared to less powerful Macan EV trims. 

The GTS also receives some new visual customization options, particularly three new colour options: Chalk, Carmine Red, and Laguno Blue. The interior will also receive the option of exterior colour-matched contrast stitching, all of which will be available for the new aforementioned colour options.

The Macan EV GTS is currently available for order, with an MSRP of $122,000. Deliveries are expected to commence in the summer of 2026.
