2020 Porsche Macan Turbo Review // Too Fast, Too Serious

This is the Porsche Macan Turbo. It has a new V6 engine and is the ultimate Porsche crossover, with a top speed of 167 mph. Putting its power through all four wheels, its launch control is aggressive, and its build quality is sensational. James and Thomas jump behind the wheel to see what it's really like. Because at $117,000 CAD, it better be good. Watch and enjoy. SUBSCRIBE!

Its great to seem them together again, it breaks my heart seeing couples apart.

I've never really thought about the center of gravity of tomato sauce, but you're absolutely right about it 😆

James: 6ft away--- 1 james away
Thomas: he's actually 5ft 10

These intros are the kind of hard hitting journalism that we need and deserve right now...

Great work guys, thanks. I bought a Macan S earlier this year. I'm one of those strange people that wants a very sporty SUV! Personally I feel like I need an SUV - I live in Sydney, Australia. My driveway and also in-laws, friends, often are steep and awkward and normal cars bottom out. Speed bumps (in parks, at the beach) get bigger as more people drive SUVs and utes. And the roads are a bit rubbish off the highway. Basically we live in a city where - in the suburbs - an SUV is a lot easier to live with. I know it's subjective, but I'm never going back to a car as my daily drive. My kids have their own cars, the back seats are very rarely used, and with the seats down the boot is actually quite big, great for all our stuff for a weekend away with the missus. I optioned Air suspension, (PASM comes standard here), the torque vector rear diff, sports chrono and a bunch of other 'driving' options and I love it. Air suspension drops it down a noticeable bit lower in Sports Plus and I feel like it makes as close as an suv is going to get to a hatchback for ripping through corners on back roads (which I do regularly btw, every few days I sneak off for a rip!). I tried all the alternative SUVs (X3M40i, GLC43, SQ5 etc) and they are amazing in a straight line but (again subjective I know) besides that I don't think they are a patch on the Macan, if you care about the 'fun drive' experience rather than a cruiser. I would love a Cayman but (and yes, I know, the Macan is not a sports car) but I feel like I get 80% of the fun in the Macan and it's a great daily driver too. I would never buy the Turbo, the S is plenty fast for me unless I wanted to take it to a track. In which case I'd get the Cayman or similar as my weekender. Keep up the great work, love the reviews.

Thank you Thomas and James for this...
I've really missed you guys being able to drive the cars and review them.
I've enjoyed watching your quarantine videos but it feels great to see you guys out there together and back at it.
I'm so looking forward to the future uploads. #ThrottleHouse4Life

Throttle house is my fav Car review channel

[trentpearce]

I think Throttle House needs to do a review of a current (2023-2024) Macan GTS. It will completely change their perspective on this little hot hatch from Porsche. Its a riot!

I rented a Macan Turbo though Turo last year, and it is probably the best vehicle I've ever driven. There are cars I've driven that are more fun, but it's still entertaining. There are cars I've driven that handle better, but the Macan is really sharp in Sport Plus. There are nicer interior spaces in cars, but the Macan has really great build quality and comfy seats. It simply does everything well, while not being totally numb or boring to drive. It's actually very expensive though... that's the thing that would keep me away from the Turbo trim level, even if I am having a hard time imagining the Macan any other way.

100% the most entertaining automotive channel on YouTube. Savagegeese is a close second

[Sphereor]

Just in case noone else says it: I really like the new camera perspective from inside the car looking at the road while driving.
It's a great addition to your already great camera work.

Quite possibly my favorite channel for car reviews. You two never disappoint!

“Tomato sauce has a lower center of gravity” 😂

[Lu-cjit]

The undisputed, best channel/partners in crime on YouTube. Much love, from South Africa 🔥

[maurig]

Throttle House is the only car channel I watch from start to end. I don’t even skip the intro just for that *slap* 😂

[benjaminpohl]

The way Thomas says "2020" is so soothing.

The next time someone says brunch, I will only think of James explanation

Fun fact: the word 'macan' does mean tiger in Indonesian. The 'ma' is pronounced like it is in 'mark' and the 'c' is pronounced like how 'ch' is in 'channel'. Kind of like 'matcha' minus the 't' and with an 'n' added.
If you keep the hard c sound, you get the Indonesian word for 'eat'.
