Porsche's new Macan will have the distinction of offering the first four-cylinder engine in Porsche's range in more than two decades.

The modern turbocharged flat-four will help Porsche go with the times while keeping a distinct character for its powertrains and providing a link with the larger horizontally opposed engines used in the 911.

According to UK's Car Magazine, the spec sheet is proposing three different versions of the engine:

Porsche 1.6 flat four with 210bhp /
Porsche 2.0 flat four with 286bhp / 295lb ft
Porsche 2.5 flat four with 360bhp /347lb ft

There may be some uncertainty about the smaller 1.6 liter unit though.
