Porsche is expanding the Macan Electric range with the 2026 Macan GTS, a performance-focused variant delivering up to 420 kW (563 hp) in Overboost, a limited slip rear differential, and a sport-tuned air suspension with a lower ride height. Porsche quotes 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a ¼-mile time of 12.0 seconds, and a 155 mph top track speed. As a GTS, the fifth Macan Electric variant also adds unique styling elements and black accents.
The Macan GTS shares its rear electric motor with the Macan Turbo, using Porsche’s largest and most powerful unit in the range with a 230 mm rotor diameter, 210 mm active length, and a 900-amp silicon-carbide pulse inverter. Output is 380 kW (509 hp), rising to 420 kW (563 hp) with Launch Control, with up to 704 ft-lbs of torque. The 100 kWh battery supports charging from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 21 minutes under ideal conditions at up to 270 kW.

Chassis hardware emphasizes agility. Standard equipment includes all-wheel drive with quick-reacting electric Porsche Traction Management, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus with an electronically controlled rear axle differential, and a rear-biased 48/52 percent weight distribution. The GTS has the lowest center of gravity in the lineup, and its air suspension with load-leveling and Porsche Active Suspension Management receives GTS-specific damper and roll-bar calibration plus the lower ride height. Optional rear-axle steering is available. The Sport Chrono Package is standard and adds Track Endurance Mode to pre-cool the battery for longer high-performance runs, and Porsche Electric Sport Sound offers two GTS-specific profiles in Sport and Sport Plus.
Exterior cues include black accents front, side, and rear, tinted LED Matrix Design headlights, and pronounced edges above the air blades. A Sport Design Package with specific fascias debuts on the GTS, with contrasting inlays, side blades, wheel arch extensions, and the adaptive rear spoiler lip kept in black. Wider rocker panels, a specific lower rear fascia with black inlay and visible diffuser, and tinted tail lights further distinguish the model. Standard wheels are 21-inch Macan Design in Anthracite Gray, with optional 22-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in the same color. Colors added for the line include Chalk, Carmine Red, and Lugano Blue, alongside 15 regular choices and approximately 60 Paint-to-Sample options.

Inside, the GTS features extended Race-Tex and black leather, including seat centers for the standard adaptive 18-way Sport Seats. A new GTS Interior Package links exterior and interior with matching contrasting stitching, seat belts, GTS logos, and a steering wheel logo in Carmine Red, Slate Gray Neo, or Lugano Blue, paired with the Carbon Fiber Interior Package. The GTS theme also appears in Porsche Communication Management with a color-matched 3D vehicle visualization and a GTS logo in the instrument cluster. Sport Chrono functions such as lap timing and telemetry can be operated in the PCM.
For model year 2026, the GTS incorporates broader updates across the Macan Electric family, including Porsche Digital Key, new Park Assist functions, an AI-assisted Voice Pilot, enhanced in-car gaming, and an increased maximum towing capacity of 5,500 pounds. The 2026 Macan GTS is available to order now with an MSRP of $103,000, with first deliveries to U.S. Porsche Centers expected in spring 2026.
