Porsche’s new all-electric SUV gets a new performance trim level.
Standing for “Gran Turismo Sport,” the GTS suffix has been an important one in Porsche’s history for over 60 years, since the 904 Carrera GTS was first introduced in 1963. Now, the three letters have been used to signify Porsche models with compelling performance and a sporty edge. Models like the 911, Macan, Cayenne, 718, and Taycan have all featured GTS variants, and now, the Porsche Macan Electric is joining the group, as a new GTS variant of Porsche’s all-electric SUV joins the lineup as the fifth model in the range for the 2026 model year.
It boasts up to 563 horsepower of Overboost power, and distinguishes itself further with a limited slip rear differential, and an air suspension with decidedly sporty tuning. Made with optimal cornering precision and agility in mind, the new 2026 Porsche Macan Electric GTS also is set apart visually by the traditional GTS treatment: black accents throughout, along with sporty styling treatments.
The new Macan Electric GTS will get from 0-60 in just 3.6 seconds, completing a quarter-mile in 12 seconds flat and reaching a limited top speed of 155 mph. It shares a rear electric motor with the range-topping Macan Electric Turbo, allowing the electric SUV to wield 509 horsepower regularly, with up to 563 horsepower in Overboost. The Sport Chrono package comes as standard for the new Macan Electric GTS, with the Track Endurance Mode that was introduced on the Taycan, optimizing the battery for extended performance driving.
The suspension is specifically tuned for the GTS, with a low center of gravity, and the standard Porsche Torque Vectoring System mounted behind the rear motor to contribute to a slightly rear-biased weight distribution (48/52). Optional rear-axle steering also contributes to incredible handling. Three new colors will be available for the GTS: Chalk, Carmine Red, and Lugano Blue. The standard interior features Race-Tex and black leather upholstery throughout, with available contrast stitching and accents made to match some of the available exterior colors.
Starting at $103,000, the new 2026 Porsche Macan Electric GTS is available to order now, and the first examples of the new high-performance electric SUV are set to arrive at Porsche centers in the US starting in the spring of 2026. With a long-standing and respected history, the GTS name and spirit finally arrives to Porsche’s new electric SUV.
