The long believed to be called Cajun from Porsche has officially been released to be named the Macan.
The name is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger.
Porsche said “The Macan combines all sports car characteristics with the benefits of a SUV and is a genuine Porsche”. “The name of a new Porsche has to fit with the brand, sound good in very many languages and dialects and evoke positive associations.”

This mid-size SUV will share the same chassis with the Audi Q5, but will be all Porsche with suspension, brakes and engine. It will be built in Leipzig, and there is even rumor of a hybrid.

Set to rival against the Range Rover Evoque in both 3-door and 5-door versions, it is due to arrive in 2013.
