Porsche Cars North America has announced its delivery figures for the third quarter of 2021 and while they were down slightly from last year, the automaker is still enjoying a very fruitful year.
In the third quarter, Porsche Cars North America delivered a grand total of 15,289 vehicles. That was down 1.7 per cent from the same period last year, mainly due to the semiconductor shortage. Despite this, deliveries for the first nine months of the year remain at a record high with 51,615 vehicles delivered to customers, 29.9 per cent higher than the first nine months of 2020 and higher than the same period in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic.

The Macan was the best-selling model from the brand in Q3 with 5,090 units delivered to customers. The Cayenne wasn’t far behind with 4,874 units delivered over the same period. In third spot was the all-electric Taycan with 1,861 units, slightly ahead of the 1,621 units of the 911 that were sold from July-September. Deliveries of the Panamera equated to 1,090 vehicles while a total of 753 Cayman and Boxster models were sent to customers.
“Demand is as strong as we’ve ever seen – helped by being able to provide the most complete and attractive experience ever, from the range of fresh, relevant and desirable cars, to the ownership experience and level of personalization we now offer, and to the commitment and expertise of our dealers,” president and chief executive of Porsche Cars North America, Kjell Gruner, said. “We just saw this emotional connection confirmed by the latest J.D. Power APEAL Study of customer experience with a new car, which ranked Porsche as the number one premium brand for the third year in a row.”
