Porsche record increased sales August 1 – December 31
In the short financial year from August 1 to December 31, 2010 Porsche significantly increased its sales. Compared with the same period last year – namely August to December 2009 – global sales grew 57 per cent to 40,446 vehicles.
“The strong sales growth throughout the world and across all four model lines is impressive proof that Porsche is on the right track and that our vehicles are to our customers’ taste. Porsche has again grown profitably,” commented Matthias Müller, Porsche AG’s Chairman of the Executive Board.
“In the short 2010 financial year we comfortably achieved a double-digit return on sales. With an eye to our very robust financial position and the healthy new orders situation worldwide, we are confident of maintaining our profitable growth trajectory in 2011,” added Chief Financial Officer Lutz Meschke.
In the short 2010 financial year, Porsche produced 41,949 vehicles, equating to growth of 18 per cent compared with the same period last year. The 22,343 units of the Cayenne model line that rolled off the production line in Leipzig was a 48 per cent increase in vehicle numbers compared with the same period last year. 8,189 units of the Panamera were manufactured. At the Zuffenhausen plant, production of the 911 model line fell by 2 per cent to 7,174 vehicles. Production of the Boxster model line declined by 4 per cent overall to 4,243 units. 2,259 of these vehicles were accounted for by the Boxster and 1,984 by the Cayman.
