TL;DR - No way home for this driver as s/he fled the scene after crashing the SUV onto a traffic light and a concrete barrier. No money, lots of problems. Too much money, more problems. Watch this 38-second video of the Porsche Macan going from a high performance car to a useless one. What happened? The car collided into a temporary traffic light and a concrete barrier at Ophir Road after Beach Road. It was told that the driver had escaped from the Macan, most likely drunk since the accident occurred at 4AM. I have a question... What can one be doing at 4AM on a Wednesday? Online Chatter Rumours have it that the driver fled back to his strawberry farm. Ooof. Just some rich man problems that commoners cannot relate to. And won’t want to anyway. Takeaway Though it is only allegations that this accident happened from drink driving, it is also important to reiterate that alcohol is a make-you-stupid drug. If there's one thing worse than being driven to drink, and that's driving yourself home from it. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

The Macan is the sixth model in Porsche's lineup, and will sit just below the Cayenne in the family hierarchy. Conceived to be the 'sports car' of its segment, the new Macan embodies the sporting DNA of the Stuttgart automaker. The base variant features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine - the smallest in Porsche's current lineup - and packs 237bhp. But at $218,888 (w/o COE), do you think the Macan 2.0 is a good buy?

At the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Porsche celebrates the world premiere of the all new Macan, a model that sees the German sports car manufacturer expand its range to a whole new vehicle segment. As the first Porsche in the compact SUV segment, the Macan is expected to set new standards in dynamic performance - on both paved streets and uneven terrain. The name is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger. And the Macan really does live up to its name: powerful and ready to pounce at any time, yet light-footed and tenacious on off-road terrain. Technical highlights include Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive and the Porsche PDK double-clutch transmission fitted as standard. The body conceals highly efficient six-cylinder engines, which provide powerful propulsion while achieving favourable fuel consumption figures. With a width of 1,923mm (excluding the exterior mirrors) and a height of 1,624mm, the Macan is a compact and dynamic vehicle. The low centre of gravity and wheelbase of 2,807mm provide enhanced driving stability, particularly when cornering. These features, combined with a length of 4,681mm (Macan Turbo: 4,699mm), mean that the Macan has the sportiest proportions in its segment. A turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine rated at 258bhp, accelerates the SUV from nought to 100km/h in 6.3 seconds and returns an average of 19.7km/L. The Macan S is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo engine that delivers 340bhp, accelerates to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds and returns up to 13.8km/L. The 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine in the Macan Turbo produces 400bhp and accelerates to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds or 4.6 seconds with the Sport Chrono package fitted. Although the top speed is 265km/h, the Macan Turbo delivers fuel consumption figures of up to 13.4km/L, which equates to a CO2 value as low as 208g/km. The sporting DNA of the Macan, as with all Porsche vehicles, is also immediately recognisable in the design. The car is unrivalled in its low, broad profile on the road. For instance, the side view window graphics and the sloping roof line at the rear, known at Porsche as the ‘flyline’, are a clear nod to the 911. The rear wheelarches also have the soft profile of the 911. The basic shape of its main headlights is based on that of the 918 Spyder, while the sideblades at the bottom of the front and rear doors are reminiscent of the lower door seams on the hybrid super sports car. The rear lights on the Macan are another striking feature, boasting an extremely compact three-dimensional design and LED technology - a further reference to the 918 Spyder. On all models, the rear diffuser is flanked on both sides by twin tailpipes - round on the Macan S and Macan S Diesel and square on the Turbo. All models are available with chrome-plated stainless steel sport tailpipes as an option. As part of the acoustic design, the petrol models include an exhaust flap, in addition to various other components. The flap is map-controlled and load-dependent, which dictates when it opens and shuts. Inside, the Macan is fitted with a multi-function sports steering wheel as standard, the design of which is completely new and based on that in the 918 Spyder. The driver and passenger seats feature the low position - typical of sports cars. Three round dials with a centrally positioned tachometer combine to form the instrument cluster. The right-hand tube is home to the high-resolution, 4.8-inch colour display. The forward-sloping centre console with the high-set gear selector typical of racing cars draws the driver even further into the cockpit. Multiple technologies contribute to the vehicle's low fuel consumption levels. The standard automatic Start Stop function shuts off the engine as soon as the Macan brakes to a speed of 2.25km/h. When the brake is released, the engine is restarted quickly and smoothly. When drivers lift their foot off the accelerator pedal, the coasting function decouples the engine to allow the vehicle to roll over a longer distance than if the engine was engaged. As soon as the accelerator pedal or brake is actuated again, the PDK selects the appropriate gear and engages the clutch. Up to 1.0L/100km of fuel can be saved in everyday driving situations. The luggage compartment volume is 500 litres, which expands to 1,500 litres when the back seats are folded down fully.

[extract] Not too long ago, Porsche announced its plans for a smaller-sized suv to accompany its Cayenne and expand its model line-up. Not much details were available at that time besides a rendered image of the car. Now, more technical news about the baby suv has been revealed. Many speculated the model name while some were certain that it would be named the Porsche Cajun, but the German automaker has given a different name all together-the Macan. Porsche explained the name to be derived from an Indonesian word meaning 'tiger' and expresses the
