It’s safe to say that the German auto industry is looking stronger than ever, when you have high-end premium car makers such as Porsche selling about 30,900 cars in the first two months of the new year.
Even though they’re not going to achieve BMW/Audi/Mercedes numbers for obvious reasons, Porsche is selling their cars at a higher average price than most of its competitors.
The 30,900 cars represent a growth of one-third in comparison to the same period last year and as Sales & Marketing boss Bernhard Maier points out when talking about 2015, “we expect further momentum through the systematic expansion of our product range – at the moment, this refers to the two sportiest derivatives of the model range: the Cayman GT4 and the 911 GT3 RS.”
In Germany, Porsche made more than 2,000 deliveries in February 2015, which represents an increase of nearly 40% in comparison to the same month last year, while in Europe, last year’s figure was surpassed by almost 1/2 – with 4,848 cars sold.
Deliveries have more than doubled in countries such as Finland, Sweden, Belgium and Switzerland, while the American market showed a growth of 13%.
Also interesting, the Cayenne S E-hybrid selling very well throughout Europe – which says a lot since just fewer than 15% of Cayenne models are equipped with plug-in-hybrid technology.
