However, Porsche engineers will fine-tune the chassis and develop their own dynamic control systems. It will feature engines from the Volkswagen family tuned for maximum power and torque outputs. The Macan is scheduled to go into production in 2013.

Will Porsche maintain its essence in the newer products as well? Only time will tell.
