There are lots of internet discussions on how to pronounce the name. Here's a Porsche video, where near the end, the voiceover says, "... Porsche Macan..." I take this to be the definitive way to say it (and "Porsche" for that matter.) Although it's derived from the Indonesian word for "tiger," it's not quite the same thing, and probably not the standardized way of spelling Indonesian "tiger" in English.

However, here's a link to the Wiki page on the vehicle, with its own take on pronunciation.

And particularly the pronunciation guide for the consonant combination.

Lastly, the announcer says, "Porsche" just about right in my book: no overly emphasized "e."
