You aren’t usually so quick to brake.

Brakes

The-brake-calipers-of-the-Macan-are-

finished-in-black.-The-calipers-on-the-

Macan S-are-silver-colored.-On-the-

The-key-advantage-is-that-the-brake-discs-

are-approximately-50-percent-lighter-than-

standard-discs-of-similar-design-and-size.-

Enhanced-performance-and-fuel-economy-

are-among-the-most-noticeable-benefits-

along-with-a-major-reduction-in-unsprung-

and-rotating-masses.-The-results-are-

improved-handling,-better-roadholding-

and-increased-comfort.

Sensors-continuously-monitor-driving-

direction,-speed,-yaw-velocity-and-lateral-

acceleration.-PSM actively-intervenes-to-

stabilize-the-vehicle-when-necessary-by-

strategically-applying-the-brakes-at-

individual-wheels.-That’s-not-all.-If-the-

driver-suddenly-releases-the-accelerator-

pedal,-PSM primes-the-brake-system-for-

a-higher-state-of-readiness.-Maximum-

braking-power-is-therefore-achieved-much-

sooner.-Integral-ABS-is-optimized-for-

short-braking-distances.

At-Porsche,-we-also-set-high-standards-

for-braking-performance.-So-it-goes-

without-saying-that-our-brake-systems-are- Macan Turbo-and-Macan GTS—red.

super-sized-and-adapted-to-the-high-

power-output-of-the-engine.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake

(PCCB)

As-an-option,-you-can-have-your-Macan-

equipped-with-the-track-proven-Porsche-

Ceramic-Composite-Brake-(PCCB).

The-4C-Macan-model-is-equipped-with-

4-piston-aluminum-monobloc-fixed-brake-

calipers-at-the-front.-All-other-models-get-

6-piston-fronts.-Rear-calipers-are-the-

same-across-all-models.-The-brake-discs-

are-internally-vented-for-consistently-high-

braking-power-even-during-continuous-use.

Optional-for-the-Macan Turbo,-Macan GTS-

and-Macan S.

The-cross-drilled-ceramic-brake-discs-

have-a-diameter-of-396 mm-at-the-front-

axle-and-a-thickness-of-38 mm.-At-the-

rear,-they-are-370 mm-in-diameter-and-

30 mm-thick.

Standard on Macan 4C.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

PSM-is-an-electronic-control-system-that-

helps-maintain-stability—and-increases-

driving-safety—even-at-the-limits-of-

sporty-performance.

To-cope-with-the-performance-capability-

of-the-Macan-models,-the-brake-discs-

fitted-to-the-front-axle-are-up-to-360 mm-

in-diameter.

Their-low-thermal-expansion-prevents-

deformation-under-heavy-braking.-

Furthermore,-the-ceramic-brake-discs-

are-totally-resistant-to-corrosion-and-offer-

more-favorable-noise-damping-properties.

Airbags

Engineered body design

All-Macan-models-are-equipped,-as-

standard,-with-full-size-airbags-for-the-

driver-and-front-passenger.-These-are-

supplemented-by-the-Porsche-Side-

Impact-Protection-(POSIP)-system.

The-use-of-ultra--and-super-high-strength-

micro-alloyed-steels-makes-a-crucial-

contribution-to-safety-and,-at-the-same-

time,-purposefully-encapsulates-the-

principle-of-lightweight-construction.

It-comprises-side-airbags-in-the-front-seats,-

curtain-airbags-along-the-entire-roof-frame-

and-the-side-windows-from-the-A-pillar-to-

the-C-pillar,-and-side-impact-protection-

elements-in-the-doors.-Side-airbags-are-

standard-for-the-rear-compartment.

The-forces-exerted-in-the-event-of-a-

frontal-impact-are-dispersed-by-a-system-

of-longitudinal-and-transverse-members.-

Reinforcements-in-ultra-high-strength-

steel-provide-additional-protection-for-

occupants-in-the-event-of-a-side-impact.

Two-auxiliary-sensors-in-the-bumper-help-

detect-frontal-collisions.-A-cluster-of-

acceleration-and-yaw-rate-sensors-detects-

a-threat-of-rollover-and-triggers-the-curtain

airbags-and-seat-belt-pretensioners.

The-system-also-uses-multiphase-steels.-

High-strength-and-clearly-defined-

deformability-are-two-qualities-that-they-

have-in-common.-The-passenger-cell-is-

a-cage-formed-of-high-tech-steels-and-

offers-a-high-level-of-protection.
