The Macan is one of the iconic vehicles representing the Porsche electrification era. Since the launch of the internal combustion engine model in 2013, it has grown into the brand's representative SUV, and based on constant technological innovation, it was reborn as the brand's first electric SUV model last year. It is gaining huge popularity in the global premium electric SUV market, combining a total driving distance of 474 kilometers per charge, a maximum output of 360 horsepower, and a high performance spec of zero-back 5.7 seconds.
The 'Juventus S1 Evo3 ev', which is mounted on the 'Macan', is a high-performance electric vehicle-specific design that is characterized by an optimal balance of strong driving performance, excellent overall efficiency, mileage, and low noise. Hankook Tire succeeded in acquiring "NE0," a tire mark for new cars, satisfying Porsche, which presents the strictest technical requirements for selecting automobile parts, with innovative technology leading the global electric vehicle tire market.
"Juventus S1 Evo3 ev" minimizes rotational resistance that greatly affects mileage with the latest EV compound adoption, providing ideal all-power efficiency and durability. Wide and stable tread (tire surface contacting the ground) blocks provide excellent grip on wet and dry surfaces.
Double carcass (tyre skeleton) and high-rigid beads (which hold the tires to the wheels) made of aramid hybrid fibers reliably respond to high instantaneous outputs of high-power, high-load vehicles and provide excellent handling performance when driving at high speeds.
In addition, the interlocking-shaped groove (thick groove on the tire surface) design, which seems to be engaged with teeth, prevents water curtain with excellent grip force while also providing excellent cornering performance on wet and rainy roads.
In addition, by applying a tread pattern design optimized for electric vehicle characteristics without engine sound, noise generated from the road surface is minimized when driving, providing a comfortable and comfortable ride.
Meanwhile, Hankook Tire has greatly strengthened its status as a key assistant in the Porsche electrification sector with the supply of new tires. By establishing an EV portfolio that encompasses the brand's first electric sports car "Taycan" and "Makan" in 2020, the company has once again been recognized for its top-notch electric vehicle tire technology and premium value of its global integrated brand "Hankook."
In addition, starting with the Macan in 2015, it is continuing a strong partnership with Porsche in both internal combustion engines and electrification sectors by continuously supplying ultra-high-performance tires to super premium SUVs such as Cayenne, Taycan, high-performance sports roadster 718 Boxer, and four-door sports sedan Panamera.
