Can You See The DNA? Porsche's Macan Steps Out In Light Camouflage

These are the very latest spy shots of Porsche's Macan SUV testing in light camouflage.

The baby Cayenne will go on sale in late 2014, helped along its development cycle by virtue of its Audi-shared platform. However, Porsche is promising much sportier proportions for the Macan than its Audi sister, and better handling to match.
