At SEMA, FCP Euro unveiled what is arguably the wildest Porsche Macan ever. The everyday crossover has been reimagined as a purpose-built drift car powered by an Audi RS7 engine. Dubbed the Drift Macan, it’s a four-seat smoke machine aimed squarely at the track, not the classroom.

The stock V6 has been replaced by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the Audi RS7, delivering more than 600 hp. A new intake, upgraded cooling, and a reworked ZF transmission with “sequential”-style shifts turn the SUV into a rear-drive monster. The swap sounds outrageous yet oddly logical.

Outside, the Macan wears a wide-body kit, a lowered setup with air struts, and a motorsport-style paint scheme. Beneath the huge wing sits a thoroughly reworked suspension, while 034 Motorsport brakes with red calipers make the intent crystal clear.

Inside, the cabin has been pared back: a roll cage, four sport seats, and a hydraulic handbrake are fitted. No frills, just hardware that serves the cause.

After its SEMA debut, the drift Macan will head to U.S. circuits, where it’s set to run as a “drift taxi” in 2026. It’s a reminder that even a straight-laced German crossover can go delightfully off the rails—add an Audi heart and a dash of mischief.
