I have but one ask of Porsche: everything they build needs to go racing. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about the latest 911 or the new Panamera. It must go racing somewhere on principle. Otherwise, I won’t accept it as a Porsche. Behold, the Porsche Macan race truck that we all deserve.
LP Racing has been campaigning this race-prepped Porsche Macan in European rally raids, and it is glorious. Rally raids are big off-road races much like the Dakar Rally that kicks off this weekend. This Macan made its international debut at the 2016 Italian Baja race, where it made a big splash. Wait, no—several big splashes.
That’s exactly why I’ve been wanting to see a Porsche Macan go racing. Seeing people take their Macans on race tracks is cool, but Porsche’s cute little SUV truly deserved the off-road race truck treatment.
Thank you for redeeming the good name of the Macan after that one dude got stuck, good off-road jumping sirs.
Now do Dakar next, please.
