The 2015 Porsche Macan now has a fourth engine in its powertrain lineup. A visit to the automaker's U.K. website reveals that a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four can be had with Porsche's newest crossover, slotting below the Macan S, Macan Diesel, and Macan Turbo.

The turbo-four is listed to produce 233 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, essentially matching the output of the Audi Q5, though the Macan's engine is paired to a PDK dual-clutch gearbox. Porsche estimates the engine will pull the 2015 Macan from 0-62 mph in 6.9 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds behind the diesel and 1.5 seconds slower than the Macan S.

For now, it appears that Porsche isn't expecting to sell too many turbo-four-equipped Macans because the engine is listed as a special order option only. Pricing isn't listed, so it's unclear how much U.K. customers will save compared to the Macan S and Macan Diesel, both of which are priced at about 43,000 Pounds (approximately $72,200).

A Porsche spokesman told us there are currently no plans to bring the 2.0-liter turbo-four to the U.S., so be prepared to fork over at least $50,895 if you want the keys to a 2015 Macan S with the 340-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6. Meanwhile, the Macan Turbo powered by the 400-hp 3.6-liter twin-turbo V-6 will start at $73,295. The Macan should start arriving in U.S. showrooms sometime next month.
