Porsche defending. The entire electricity with Macan was a bold decision that came in the wrong time, as the luxury demand EV stumbled in the United States and Europe, and Porsche sales collapsed mainly in China. Unfortunately, Porsche will not revive the gas machine, but the company Make a caliph– She is trying to do this cheaply and quickly.
Autocar Reports The new gas -SUV, named “M1”, will be twin New Audi Q5Which was installed on the structure of combustion of the excellent platform (PPC). The original Macan was dual of the Q5, but Porsche spent a lot of money and effort to re -engineer the car to make it deserve the top of Stuttgart. This included new V-6 engines and a full-wheel drive engine system.
This will not be the case for the upcoming four -wheel drive vehicles. Autocar “M1” will use the same four -wheel drive system at the head of the front wheels with the front wheels such as Q5 and other new Audi models. In Q5, the system works as a front motor in most regular driving scenarios, but it turns into a torque when it is necessary. It can send a maximum of 70 percent of the engine torque, and on some models, Quattro Ultra uses an electronic back difference that can bias the torque across the axis.
It is a more efficient system than the traditional All-Wheel Coattro in Torsen-Cnter-Center, or the original Porsche traction management in Macan, which always sends energy to the back. This is good to help reach the economy and increasingly strict emissions facing Porsche (and every other car industry) everywhere except for the United States these days.

Using Quattro Ultra is also cheaper and easier for Porsche. Upon confirming the “M1” project last summer, the CEO of Porsche Oliver Bloom said that the brand aims to develop this SUV in a relatively short three years.
Porsche needs to save costs wherever. Taycan sales have decreased sharply, definitions collided hard in the American market, and Chinese customers reject non -local brands such as Porsche. Electric 718 Boxster and Cayman are also behind the timetable and will be a difficult sale when they arrive, as there is not a lot of market for electrical sports cars.
But Porsche never did the SUV in its history in its history, which is approximately 40 years of selling SUVs. He has always gone to bias the background driving of superior driving dynamics. The fact is that “the M1 will continue to go well thanks to a permanent Porsche engineering, but it reflects the extent of changing wealth for a company that was one day envied the entire auto industry.
