Win a 500+ HP Stage 1 Porsche Macan S + $15,000 Cash (Torque Reserve TR-1)

What you're looking at

The prize in Torque Reserve's debut 'TR-1' giveaway is a Porsche Macan S — the V6 one, not the four-cylinder base or T — that the host has run a Stage 1 ECU tune through. Stock, the current gas Macan S makes 375 horsepower from its twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 and hits 60 in about 4.4 seconds. Torque Reserve advertises this car at '500+ horsepower' and a 3.7-second 0-60, which is the figure to keep one eyebrow raised at: a true Stage 1 flash on this engine more typically lands in the 430-450 hp range, and 500+ usually wants downpipes, intakes, or more boost hardware than 'Stage 1' implies. Treat the power claim as the brand's number until the build sheet says otherwise. As a package it's a fast, comfortable, all-wheel-drive daily that happens to come with $15,000 in cash.

Why it matters & the fine print

The appeal isn't rarity, it's the math: Torque Reserve is pitching the TR-1 as its first-ever giveaway with the smallest entry pool it will ever have. The car is a near-new, properly quick Porsche you can actually use every day. Entries are earned by buying merchandise ($20-$250) at a 40x multiplier (a $60 shirt nets 2,400 entries). The promotion is advertised to close 07/12/2026 at 11:59 PM, with a winner announced one to two weeks after. The campaign states no purchase is necessary, which means a free mail-in route exists in the official rules — but that page does not print the address, so confirm before relying on it. Eligibility is U.S. residents, 18+, valid license. A ~$100K prize is taxable income; the $15,000 cash helps but won't fully cover a six-figure haul's federal-plus-state bill.
