These are the first images of the all new Macan out testing. Built on the Audi Q5 platform, the Macan will share the same powerplants including the 2.0T TSI (220hp), and 3.0L V6 (295hp) rumored for the "S" version.

Disguised as a Cayenne, we can see the low sloping roofline and long pointer tail. The headlights have a cover to hide their true form, as well as the tailights covered in Cayenne looking tape. The LED running lights were expected and look similar to the Cayenne's. Also, don't let the four doors fool you. Yes, it will be available in 5-door form, but the entire birth of the Macan was in 3-door form. A sports SUV, or oversized GTI/A3 if you will.

These photos play right into Porsche's official sketch that was released and are on track to give some fierce competition to the Range Rover Evoque 3-door and 5-door versions.

Built in Leipzig, it will go on sale in late next year as a 2014 model.

We posted some great renderings awhile back: Check them out HERE
