By ,

The 2017 Porsche Macan GTS will arrive next spring in Canada to bolster the German automaker’s compact CUV lineup, which currently consists of the Macan S and Turbo.

Starting at $71,600, the Macan GTS boasts satin black 20” RS Spyder wheels, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) enabling a lower ride height, a Sport Design package, and available LED headlights.

Under the hood, this new model houses a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine producing 360 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. A 7-speed, dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) are also part of the equation. Top speed is rated at 256 km/h, while acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 5.2 seconds (5.0 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package).
