On September 24, the 27th Leipzig Opera Ball will be held, which will be attended by athletes, politicians, businessmen and other celebrities. Between the culinary highlights and the first-class stage program of the artists, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a raffle and the main prize is a 2022 Porsche Macan.

The Leipzig Opera Ball is an annual event that raises funds for charity, and this year (9th time) Porsche will sponsor the event. That’s why the Stuttgart-based company decided to offer a specially made Macan. “With this special car, we are creating an attractive incentive to purchase tickets on the evening of the opera ball. Every ticket sold helps to implement social projects,” said Gerd Rupp, CEO of Porsche Leipzig.

This specially made Porsche Macan is painted in Signal Yellow with ‘Leipziger Opernball 2022′ and ’20 Years of Porsche Leipzig’ lettering on the door sills. It is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged Inline-4 engine with 261 hp (192 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque (base model). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 5 seconds with a top speed of 144 mph (232 km/h).

Porsche is currently well positioned in the market. The intention of the company is to maintain the existing sales growth, but also that half of the sales, in the coming years, come from electric vehicles. That would be the path to fulfilling the long-term goal, which is carbon neutral by the end of the decade. When it comes to the Macan, Porsche intends to offer this model with an internal combustion engine until 2024, while an all-electric model should hit the market soon. At full capacity, the intention is to produce almost 90,000 electric Porsche Macans per year.
