Sleep, activity, nutrition:

Eat your veggies, get some shuteye and stay in shape. It’s been said time and time again, but now is the time to delve into just how to achieve that trifecta of optimal wellness.

Army Medicine’s Performance Triad, part of the Ready and Resilient Campaign, spells out the importance of sleep, activity and nutrition as integral to optimizing

personal health, performance and resilience. It offers some practical tips for implementing holistic wellness habits over its 26-week health challenge. The challenge began this month and continues through December.

The Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic will post challenges weekly on its Facebook page on “Triad Tuesdays,” as well as tips to help participants accomplish them. Andy Munsterman, director of the Army

Correction to article in the June 5 Herald Union

It has come to the attention of the Herald Union that three of the statements in last week’s article, “No place for sex offenders” were either incorrect or could be misinterpreted.

First, although charged with abusive sexual contact, an offense under Article

120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military judge convicted Sgt. 1st Class Farley of the lesser included offense of assault consummated by a battery, in violation of Article 128, UCMJ. He was also found guilty of maltreatment of a subordinate, a

violation of Article 93, UMCJ. Neither of these offenses require sex offender registration.

Second, the article references previous acts of misconduct committed by Farley. Farley has never been charged with, nor convicted of, the misconduct

referenced in the article.

Finally, the article stated that, “Pfc. Patrick Battles … was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault causing bodily harm.” In fact, Pfc. Battles was convicted with sexual assault, a violation of Article 120, UCMJ.

It’s no coincidence our Army observes National Safety Month in June, just as summer kicks off. This is historically one of the deadliest times of year for Soldiers off duty.

The USACRC/Safety Center has released its annual Army Safe Summer Campaign and posted a separate effort just for National Safety Month at https:// safety.army.mil. These campaigns provide good information based on Army-wide trends, but you know specifically what’s happening in your formations.

Use our materials and your knowledge as starting points to build safety programs that meet your Soldiers’ needs and will see them through summer safely.

If we think positively and act responsibly, our Soldiers will too, adding up to a fun summer for both them and us. No one wants to see a preventable fatality, and putting in the time now helps ensure your unit won’t be touched by tragedy.

Helping them heal

Red Cross project provides nurturing atmosphere, experience for Warrior Transition Unit Soldiers Story and photo by Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

The healing process takes many forms.

For some recovering Soldiers in Wiesbaden’s Warrior Transition Unit that includes nurturing a “healing garden” chock-full of sprouting carrots, flowers and other plants and vegetables.

A collaborative effort between the Red Cross, Warrior Transition Unit and Recycling/Re-Use Center, the garden provides a place where the WTU Soldiers can relax, play a role in contributing to a community service project and watch as their efforts bear fruit — or vegetables as the case may be.

“This started from a personal interest,” said Wiesbaden American Red Cross health and safety chairman Puja Gellerman. The licensed occupational therapist and community volunteer said, as an active gardener “back home” in the United States, she had past experience using a similar healing garden while working at an inpatient acute rehabilitation hospital in Washington, D.C., to help patients recover from brain injuries and strokes — “to work on their different deficits whether it’s cognitive or motor challenges. The idea is to find something that brings meaning and purpose to their daily lives.

“Just getting your hands dirty can be very therapeutic,” Gellerman added.

“The key is lasting memories that really mean a lot,” she said, pointing to one patient who planted herbs in his Red Cross volunteer Puja Gellerman works with Sgt. Jeremie Hottel (from left), room and then “came back with a plant Spc. Scott Spearritt and Sgt.

Supporting D-Day veterans Local credit union brings special meal to 70th-anniversary event

By Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

World War II veterans enjoyed a special steak dinner during the swirl of special events surrounding the 70th anniversary of D-Day in northern France, thanks to the efforts of Andrews Federal Credit Union staff and friends.

“Andrews was the chief sponsor of the event,” said Mikel Russell, Human Resources and Marketing manager for AFCU in Wiesbaden and former director of Emergency Services for the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden, explaining that AFCU teamed up with Steak Team Mission, based out of Texas, to serve about 600 Texas-style barbecue steak meals with all the trimmings to D-Day veterans and Photo courtesy of Mikel Russell family members on June 5 during the 70thVolunteers talk to D-Day veterans during the special anniversary commemoration.

Tours aimed at discouraging shoplifting Thieves risk loss of privileges, $200 civil recovery fee Story and photos by Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

“How many of you know that there are cameras in the store?”

That’s one of the many things Hainerberg Elementary School students encountered during visits to Wiesbaden’s Main Exchange last week. The special tours for the school’s third-graders were aimed at making an impression on the young community members about the consequences of shoplifting before the start of summer vacation.

“We’re basically focusing on the third-graders to prepare them as they get older regarding what happens to an individual as far as shoplifting is concerned,” said Joanne Gates, Army and Air Force Exchange Service Wiesbaden loss prevention manager. “Their minds are so impressionable at this age, and they remember this for life.”

As the students were led through Wiesbaden’s Main Exchange, store detectives Bryan Mattice and Arya Bidardel described the various ways they keep track of merchandise, monitor theft and deal with shoplifting.

“We want to make sure the kids know the consequences of stealing,” said Bidardel. “A lot of theft occurs at this facility (and other AAFES stores) and we want to reduce that.”

While learning a serious lesson about the consequences of criminal behavior, the youths also had a chance to speak over the squad car public address system, try on handcuffs and ask the MPs questions about their daily jobs.

“Our job is to make sure everyone is doing the right thing,” said Walt Tobash, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden civilian misconduct specialist.

“The people who work in this office (loss prevention) are extremely good at their jobs,” Tobash told the young visitors.

Grads look ahead to challenges, successes Story and photos by Chrystal Smith

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Prepare for failure. Embrace it, even.

But when you fail, learn from the experience and return to society the investment that was made in you.

Having an expectation of failure and being resilient afterwards underscored the advice that orators imparted to Wiesbaden High School’s Warrior class of 2014 during the commencement June 8 in the Wiesbaden Kurhaus where 150 received diplomas.

“Don’t succumb to the fear of failure,” said Shin Cousens, class co-salutatorian, who used a Doritos metaphor to explain that members of the national 2014 graduating class had a .006 percent fighting chance at great success during his address to the class.

“Winners repeatedly fail (because losers never try).

Don’t be a group of losers,” Cousens said.

But despite the odds being stacked against the class of 2014, Cousens exhorted his classmates to stay encouraged and to stand up to the challenges that life will throw at them.

Echoing his sentiments were Dhillon Tisdale, co-salutatorian, and Thomas Greig, class valedictorian. Moreover, Tisdale emboldened his comrades to “fight for the things you hold dear.”

And Greig forewarned them of the risk of burnout that they

take time to “enjoy the small things in life and let the engine cool down so you don’t overheat.”

The class leaders set the tone for the keynote speaker, Lt. Gen. Donald Campbell Jr, U.S. Army Europe commander, whose message did not deviate from the commencement’s focus.

In addition to bolstering the graduates’ spirits for pressing beyond trepidatious moments in life, Campbell reminded them of the humble discovery of J.K. Rowlings’ first manuscript, denoting that even the now world-renowned were at a place of uncertainty before achieving greatness.

“There are a lot of interesting people who still don’t know what they want to do,” he said.

“Find something you enjoy doing and work your hardest at it.”

And while some no longer have to study Newton’s laws, he cautioned them to be deliberate in word and deed; that there are consequences to every action.

“Life is an echo. What you send out you get back,” he said, encouraging the adolescents in their transition to adulthood to strive to serve others. “Service is a value that transcends everything we do. There is nothing like the reward of doing something for others.”

And while much was to be digested from the keynote address, the graduates stepped up for that long-awaited moment at centerstage — the awarding of the diplomas.

As the graduates dealt with

Wiesbaden graduates listen to the keynote speaker’s advice for being successful during the Wiesbaden High School graduation ceremony June 8 at the Wiesbaden Kurhaus. the emotion of seeing one of life’s great milestones realized, Lee Carter borrowed the words of Maya Angelou in 1982 at Wellesley College to seal the commencement. The adapted commencement address that praised, admonished, emboldened and challenged the hearers to action — “Make this (world) more than it is today,” yet proved to be relevant more than three decades later.

“It takes a phenomenal amount of courage. … Just point, and you will find there are injustices … you have your work cut out for you,” read Carter. “You will be challenged mightily, and you will fall many times. … it may be necessary to encounter defeat … You must encounter, confront life.”

While the Soldiers were in the spotlight, Carstens recognized and saluted the sacrifices of the families as well. “The families served as well,” he said, as he underscored the “burdens carried by families,” such as “frequent deployments, daily duties, missed birthdays and holidays. More than just words, the Army Values have been a way of life for these heroes and their families. … We celebrate those ideals embodied by their service.

“Thanks for the unseen coaching, mentoring and leadership. Your legacy is those who continue to serve,” Carstens said.

USAG Wiesbaden — Wackernheim, Wiesbaden Marking 40 years in Europe as Tyler takes charge Story and photo by Jennifer Aldridge

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District, Public Affairs Office

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers celebrates 40 years in Europe and welcomed a new commander, Col. Matthew R. Tyler, to Europe District during a change-of-command ceremony Friday at the Amelia Earhart Center in Wiesbaden.

Tyler becomes the district’s 20th commander. He succeeds Col. D. Peter Helmlinger, who is deploying to take command of USACE’s Transatlantic Afghanistan District.

“I am honored to become part of the Europe District team,” Tyler said. “I know Pete Helmlinger leaves a legacy of excellence. I’ll continue to build on the district’s reputation of engineering excellence.”

Presiding over the ceremony was Brig. Gen. Kent Savre, the

USACE North Atlantic Division commander. He praised Helmlinger’s leadership, commitment as the district consistently delivered quality projects during his three-year tenure.

“Pete Helmlinger has provided exemplary leadership to Europe District these last few years while supporting our nation’s strategic interests in Europe and Africa,” Savre said. “He is a role model and leader within the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and I am so proud of his service as a commander.”

Savre then welcomed Tyler to Europe District.

“With his recent experience as the United States Army Europe deputy chief of staff for engineering, Col. Tyler is very well positioned to assume command of Europe District,” Savre said. “His relationship with United States Army Europe and United States European

Due to declining military expenditures after the war, USAREUR faced pressure to reduce the size of its headquarters and budget.

In July 1974 USAREUR asked USACE to take responsibility for military construction in theater. Later that year, Engineer Command was transferred to USACE, creating the U.S. Army Engineer Division Europe in Frankfurt.

In 1991, following the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the division downsized to a district and relocated to its current headquarters in Wiesbaden.

USACE continues to support USAREUR in planning and managing military construction, exercise-related construction, theater security cooperation and projects aimed at improving the working and living conditions of Soldiers, families and civilians throughout Europe.

Locked doors and windows, neighbors deter burglars

Burglaries are one of the most common crimes and a constant focus for local and military police.

Burglars look for easy entry into a house so they can steal high-value items quickly and effortlessly.

“Many thieves will spend no longer than 60 seconds trying to break into a home,” said Capt. Matthew Sperber, law enforcement staff officer at the U.S. Army Europe Office of the Provost Marshal. “Good locks and good neighbors who watch out for each other can be big deterrents to burglars,” he added.

“Did you know that in almost half of all completed residential burglaries, thieves simply breezed in through unlocked doors or crawled through unlocked windows?” Sperber said. He recommends people lock their doors whenever they leave their house, apartment

or barracks room, even if it is only for a short time.

Sperber recommends keeping keys and other valuables safely hidden away at all times. Burglars have been known to quickly steal house and car keys and use them to steal the car or enter the house at a later date.

He also advises people to look for strange markings around the gate area or on the mail box. Some gangs of burglars employ scouts who mark houses with secret symbols that indicate who lives there, if they have a dog and if they appear wealthy.

Some burglars will also stick tape to door handles or shove pieces of plastic between the door and door frame so, when they come back, they can see if someone has been home. Call your local MP station if you think burglars are targeting your home.

“When you travel, leave shades, blinds and curtains in normal positions and have a neighbor pick your mail up,” Sperber advised. He also suggests you create the illusion that you’re at home using trusted neighbors or timers that will turn lights on and off in different areas of your house throughout the evening. Lights burning 24 hours a day signal an empty house. He also offers the following tips: R Don’t advertise that you will be away from your home. Give the information only to people who need to know such as your landlord or trusted neighbor.

R Never leave a message on your answering machine that indicates you will be away for a specific time. Say “I’m not available right now.” (Courtesy of USAREUR Public Affairs)

Bracelets help save lives

Wiesbaden Middle School students show off their bracelets, the sale of which raises funds to help purchase mosquito nets for Africans at risk of contracting malaria.

Members of the middle school’s National Junior Honor Society and Junior Leadership Society have been working with a scout troop in Uganda which makes the bracelets and sells them for $5 each. Each sale helps purchase one mosquito net which in turn helps reduce the spread of malaria, the number one killer of infants and the elderly in Uganda, according to teacher Donna Kimelman.

Wiesbaden retains IMCOM-E boxing title

By Shayna Brouker

U�S� Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Wiesbaden boxers jabbed, pummeled and upper-cutted their way to repeat as the winning team at the Installation Management CommandEurope Boxing Championships June 7.

Eight bouts, featuring the winners of preliminary fights that took place June 4-5, pitted boxers from U.S. Army Garrisons Bavaria, Hohenfels, Rheinland-Pfalz, Vicenza, Italy, and Wiesbaden. The Wiesbaden Fitness Center was transformed into a Las Vegas-style exhibition with flashy entrances with music and smoke, tuxedoed announcers and VIP ringside seating.

Highlights included middleweight Bradley Thomas’ upset over Wiesbaden teammate Matthew Scott, who had a height advantage, and a win by Rheinland-Pfalz middleweight Romeo Ingresso who ousted Marcus Green after the referee stopped the contest.

Wiesbaden heavyweights Phillip Terry and Nate Barnd treated the crowd to a particularly contentious bout, but left all aggression in the ring.

“He threw out some moves I’ve never seen before,” said Terry, who has only been training for one month. “I’ve always been a fan of boxing and I figured I’d take the opportunity.”

Junior baseball champions

Congratulations to Wiesbaden’s junior baseball team, winners of the Installation Management Command-Europe’s Junior Baseball Championship. The Wiesbaden team, coached by Neil Ravensbergen, beat Stuttgart to advance to the championship against Grafenwöhr June 8. Wiesbaden defeated Graf on their own turf with superior pitching and good fielding to win the championship. The winning trophy is on display at the Wiesbaden Middle School/Teen Center in Hainerberg Housing, according to Randall Alexander, Youth Sports director.

Stover won the three-round decision.

“This was a great event with a lot of talent,” despite fewer competitors due to deployment, said Tony Lee, IMCOM-Europe chief of garrison support elements.

The final bout matched Adam Martinez, head coach of the boxing team, against Dwan West, who narrowly edged out Martinez. It was Martinez’s last fight — and first defeat — before he moves stateside for his next duty assignment.

“It was an entirely different fight,” said Minnifield. “With more skills you go from running from your opponent to running at them.”

Resultingly, Minnifield seemed to dominate her opponent much of the bout. However, a miscue ended the match prematurely. It was recorded as a loss to Minnifield by submission — victory to Creger.

Wiesbaden Soldiers got a chance to show off their proficiency in Modern Army Combatives during a tournament at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center May 30-31.

Soldiers trained in modern combatives levels one through four used the two-day tournament to show application of the skills they’ve learned through instruction during the year in the Combat Sports Combatives Program and other combat sports activities and seminars.

Though some might compare combatives to ultimate fighting and confuse its purpose, Army leaders highlight the necessity of equipping Soldiers for close encounter confrontations, especially in light of deployments to diverse battlefields around the globe.

“It’s important for me having the ability to teach a Soldier how to defend himself,” said Dwan West, U.S. Army Europe, who is level four trained in Army combatives.

“It matters how tough you are,” said West, who said the importance of combatives became very relevant after enduring the rigors of a deployment to Iraq with 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. “A Soldier’s bread and butter is shooting and fighting — being able to survive. Things changed daily and fast there.”

We s t , w h o w o n t h e 205-pound weight class, said he has experience in the sport at the All-Army level and has been training in combatives since 2009. And while his level of skill appeared to outmatch his opponent in the finals, he said he believed that mixing it up with opponents of lesser skills was beneficial for all.

“I want to bring that experience back to enhance mental toughness of other Soldiers,” said West. “It takes a lion to raise a lion. Sheep can’t raise lions.”

An example of West’s view was displayed when the audience watched the 125-pound final bout between Josdin Creger and Shakina Minnifield, May 31. West said he watched Creger and Minnifield the evening

sure protection, the American Cancer Society and the Skin Cancer Foundation recommend avoiding UV tanning booths, examining your skin once per month and seeing a physician once per year for a professional skin evaluation.

During the monthly selfexamination, you should look for spots or sores that itch, hurt, scab or bleed; an open sore that does not heal within two weeks; and a skin growth, mole, brown spot or beauty mark that changes in color or texture, increases in size or thickness, is asymmetrical or irregular in border, is larger than 6 millimeter (size of a pencil eraser), or appears after age 21.

Reducing your risk of skin cancer should become a matter of habit, part of the daily routine.

Modeling the actions listed above demonstrates a gift of prevention that you can extend to family and friends for a lifetime.

My answer was immediate and without expectation as I knew very little about the small Mediterranean country aside from that it was assured to be safe and the travel arrangements had been impressively affordable, so what else could deter?

Larnaka on the southeastern side of the island was our destination, and our habitation was a beachside hotel that proved to be a haven of comfort and serenity. One would not have needed to venture from the hotel grounds to enjoy a pool and beachside hiatus with fine dining, full spa amenities and traditional Cypriot entertainment, but serendipity has

never led me wrong so venture we did.

One of the first things one notices about Cyprus is the surprisingly pleasant smells permeating the air.

The variant scents of flowers, shrubs, herbs, fruit, the sea and whatever else was out there was a type of aromatherapy. The next notable factor was the absence of Americans. My friend and I were clearly novelties and we were invariably asked where we were from and even complimented on our accents.

Cyprus has a complicated history, as one tour guide explained it. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and is at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia. Throughout history multiple powers have come and gone, with Great Britain colonizing Cyprus after the first World War

Fishing in the Mediterranean Sea nets lunch and memories. Top photo: A hotel pool treats guests to palm trees and ocean views.

(and yes, they drive on the right).

Cyprus obtained independence in 1960, but long-standing regional differences culminated in a 1974 Turkish invasion and seizure of 40 percent of the country. The capital city of Nicosia is the last divided capital in Europe, separated by a barrier called the Green Line. The “Cyprus Problem,” as it is called, is not resolved but violence is held at bay.

Getting into the local scene, we attended a thoroughly enjoyable children’s choir concert. Cypriots have an exuberant, systemic sociality that was evidenced with incessant clapping, finger-snapping and young children dancing in the aisles. Almost everyone speaks some English and signs are posted in English, as well as Greek, so navigation is easy.

Walk around enough and you will see sights such as rosemary and pomegranates growing in abandon, carob trees with pods that look like beans and turn brown when they ripen, and oleander parading along the roads in full blossom. Indulge enough and your palate will delight in the unique Cyprus delights (no different from the Turkish delight), along with pomegranate yogurt and the best tasting oranges in the world.

Read about the ancient Greek and Roman gods and you might go swim three times around Aphrodite’s rock, a ritual to maintain youth and beauty.

In Nicosia, you will see shades of London at Debenham’s, a quality department store where you can sip tea and enjoy a panoramic view in

the top floor cafe.

Thousands of years of history are preserved throughout the island and sites are easily accessible. Kourion is an ancient cliff-top city with a famous Greco-Roman theater, baths and a popularly photographed, partially restored temple. Near Pafos rest the Tombs of the Kings, huge extensive rooms carved underground in the natural stone. Some of the most beautiful eastern Mediterranean mosaics I have ever seen are at the House of Dionysos, a Roman villa dating back to the 3rd century. A beautiful example of 9th century Byzantine architecture is embodied in St. Lazarus’ church in Larnaka.

By far my most enjoyable experience was deep sea fishing. We had the small boat and the sea to ourselves and we could feel the rhythmic heartbeat of the sea as we basked in complete serenity. But we soon got down to business baiting dozens of hooks with chum, settling the lines in the sea and then reeling the lines in while taking care to avoid tangling them.

When a fishing pole was finally in my hands I quickly snagged five fish and could have kept on for hours. But we broke for lunch of freshly grilled fish I had caught, along with shark, local sausages, cheese and vegetables.

It was heaven on earth. Even now when I close my eyes I can go back to the boat on that cyan-colored sea that ripples on forever.

Cyprus is calling. Will you answer?

WHY WATCH THE WORLD CUP THIS SUMMER? Soccer is the most popular sport in the world with the exception of in America. But now that you are living in Europe and Football (to use its name outside of the USA) is certainly the most popular sport in Germany, so you might want to learn about “The Beautiful Game”. After all, with the FIFA World Cup 2014 about to start… it’s the biggest event happening this summer and so you might as well join the fun!

when using your hands is a considered essential).

If, after 90 minutes in a final game, there is no victor, an additional 30 mins of “sudden death” is played. If no team scores then the game moves into penalty kicks - with each player taking a shot at the goal to try to score. Though heartbreaking for the players, this is secretly nail-biting stuff for spectators!

What is The World Cup?

When Does it Start?

Held every four years, the FIFA World Cup is a five-week football tournament including 32 nations. Each participating nation pre-qualified for the tournament by playing several matches over the last two years, with the exception of the host nation, Brazil, who automatically qualify for putting on the whole tournament.

Football?

Soccer to you. In a nutshell, it’s a game of two halves (90 mins in total) of 22 men (11 per side) kicking a ball around a grass field, trying to put the ball between the opposition’s goal posts. There are additional rules to consider like ‘offside’ (where two opposition players must be between the player with the ball and the goal) and pretty much any part of the body can be used except arms & hands to move the ball along (unless you are the goal keeper,

The World Cup has already started! Currently, games are played daily. For an up-to-date schedule check out www.fifa. com/worldcup/matches.

How Does it Work?

Group Stage

The 32 nations are split into groups (named A to H) – four national teams to a group and they play each other (three games in total) within the group to qualify for the next round. The top two teams from each group qualify for the next knock-out round. Rather excitingly, both Germany and the USA are in the same Group (G), so will be playing each other on Thursday 26th June.

Second Stage

The winner of Group A will face the runner-up in Group B, and the winner of Group B will face the runner-up in Group A, and so on.

Final Stages

The winners of the second stage then go on to play in quarter finals, semi-finals and final and a game to decide third and fourth places.

Why Does it Matter?

Ummmm, because you can’t avoid it. The World Cup is the world’s biggest sporting event bar none (and that includes the Superbowl, sorry). Over a billion people watched the 2010 World Cup Final in South Africa, where Spain beat Holland 1-0. Can a billion people really be wrong?

Plus, your current host nation (Germany) is playing the USA on 26th June in the group stages. The coach for the United States national soccer team is non-other than former Germany and Bayern Munich coach, Jurgen Klinsmann. He’s a bit of a legend in Germany so take full advantage of his status and feel the love.

Who Will Win?

will be bathed in yellow and green as Brazilian fans flood the streets dancing, shouting, singing and celebrating, while cars drive by honking their horns and blaring celebratory music. It’s probably worth backing them for the spectacle.

Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Spain are all tipped to reach the semifinals and battle it out for the top spot. Sadly, USA aren’t likely to make it this far, but you can always switch your allegiance to stay motivated to watch the final stages.

Where to Watch?

Well, this is the great news.

It’s everywhere! Not only can you watch the game in various pubs and bars, but Germany puts on many ‘Public Viewing’ areas where large screens are positioned in public squares and stadiums around the country. Watching the game with hundreds or thousands of other spectators is really the best way to experience the sport and what it means to the fans.

Well that’s the big debate, but host nation Brazil are certainly one of the favourites and if they do win, as they have in five of the previous World Cup tournaments, the streets of Rio and Sao Paulo

Mona Reisen Create a compact SUV? No, we’d rather think outside the box. We’ve created what we always create: a sports car. Five doors, five seats and yet intimate with the road; boasting plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still powerful. Practical but never ordinary.

The new Macan – built for an intensive life in which the thirst for experience and thrills and spills are ever-present, and in which new challenges are a permanent driving force. Built for a life that refuses to be hemmed in by conventions and feels all the more authentic for it. Direct and intimate.

A sports car that gives us what we’re looking for: that feeling of being alive.
