The Porsche Macan has been spotted yet again – this time though almost with no disguise. This image from Carscoops.com, pretty much sums up what the Cayenne’s baby brother would look like. Only the headlights and taillights are still in disguise. These elements will be revealed when the Macan hits the runway at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show in November.

The Macan is expected to sell as a 2015 model, so its on-road launch can be expected in the summer of 2014. The spotted vehicle is the Macan’s Turbo variant that’s expected to have a 3.0-litre V-6 engine –similar to the one found in the Q5 from its sister company Audi.

Like other Porsche models, expect a Turbo S variant to be released shortly after – possibly with a price tag closer to the Cayenne. The base model is expected to come with a 220hp 2.0-litre TFSI engine, also found in the Q5.

The Macan might have similar components to the Q5, but like any Porsche product, expect an inflated price tag. We speculate the Macan will be priced at $45,000 upon its launch. That puts it in the same price bracket as the Range Rover Evoque. That being said, it will still be the cheapest brand new Porsche on the showroom floor.

Expected launch: Summer 2014

Expected price: $45,000 (CAN)

Expected variants:

-Porsche Macan (base) 

-Porsche Macan Turbo

-Porsche Macan Turbo S

-Porsche Macan Diesel
