This week the number of all-new Macan variants has doubled. We’ve announced that two new models will be added to the range; the agile new rear-wheel-drive Macan and the Macan 4S are joining the existing Macan 4 and Turbo Macan. Here is the briefest of summaries:   - The first ever rear-wheel-drive Macan model (the lightest variant in the range) develops 355 hp – enough to allow it to accelerate from a standstill to 60mph in 5.4 seconds. It starts at an MSRP of $75,300. - The new Macan 4S is equipped with all-wheel drive and slots in between the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo variants. The 4S offers up to 380 kW (509 hp) of overboost power – lowering the 0-60mph time to just 3.9 seconds. It has an MSRP of $84,900 - All electric Macan models can be ordered with a brand new optional exterior color, Slate Grey Neo (pictured in the gallery), and the wheel portfolio has been expanded further to feature a 20-inch Macan S wheel.

Last month, Porsche's Powered by Culture Business Resource Group hosted special guest Andrew Davis, Sony Music Entertainment's EVP & Global Chief People Experience Officer, for a conversation centered around the value of belonging as we rounded out #CaribbeanHeritage month with colleagues across North America.   "In my experience, employees need three elements to thrive: Direction, which is leadership, Growth & Development, which is Capability building and an environment that allows you to thrive, which is culture," shared Davis, who spoke of his personal experience as a teenager moving to the US from Jamaica. "My parents taught us the value of getting things done. Work ethic and the belief that things happen for a reason have driven my personal journey - and shape my professional pursuits.""   The candid conversation between Davis and MHP Americas, Inc. – A Porsche Company CEO and President, Tobias Hoffmeister, was a dive into topics from the value of relationships to the impact of technology on industries including music, automotive and mental health.   #DrivenByDreams #CaribbeanHeritageMonth #Belonging

This morning we’re announcing the best quarterly sales in PCNA’s history. In Q2 retail deliveries totaled 21,304 cars – a rise of 13% YoY – made possible by outstanding performances; for example, in June the 911 – the very core of Porsche – achieved its best month ever in the US!   Behind the numbers, there are many new and existing owners. If you’re reading this, and you’re one of them; thank you; and welcome, from each and every one of us at Porsche, to the beginning of what we hope will be a wonderful journey. Please know, supporting you is not only the team here at PCNA but also over 200 independently owned and operated Porsche Centers across America, each focused on the details to ensure your experience is every bit as special as your new car.   These results in Q2 go a long way to balancing out our supply-constrained Q1 – with our overall performance for H1 being just 4% behind where we were this time in 2023. With the first sales of the all-new, all-electric Macan due to begin this fall, to be joined by the new 911 Carrera and GTS before year end, and the new Panamera and new Taycan arriving in greater volume, the next months are already looking busy.   As ever, this has been a team effort – and I’m grateful to everyone, both here and in Germany (you know who you are!), who gave everything to support our customers.
