While numbers have been looking good across the board, perhaps the most important thing to take away here is the fact that Porsche sales have went up 17% in China for the month of August.
This year alone, Porsche sales have went up almost 38% in China, despite the overall downswing in automobile sales. Porsche Sales Exec Bernhard Maier said that “The country is on the path to normality. We are expecting further growth. But the end of high dynamic growth has been reached for the time being.”
Even with China being a key market for Porsche, the USA and Europe are just as important. In August 2015, 5,008 US customers went home with a brand new Porsche – signaling a 10% increase over the same month last year.
In Europe, Porsche delivered 4,679 units (35.7% bump) as opposed to August 2014, though Maier remains only cautiously optimistic, saying “We are pursuing our aims prudently and with all the necessary respect in view of the highly volatile global economy. For us this means that qualitative growth is the barometer of our success, not only the registration figures. Our focus is definitely on ROI and employment.”
Driving the growth has been the Macan – Porsche’s newest member to their SUV “family”. In fact, 6,571 people bought one last month, which says a whole lot about its styling, driving characteristics and even pricing.
Sticking to the month of August, both the Cayman and the Cayenne registered significant growth at 31% and 32% respectively, while the new 911 that’s set to premier in Frankfurt should help their sales to continue to climb globally.
