Porsche again sets new records for deliveries
 

Worldwide, Porsche 911 deliveries are flat at approximately 32,000 (press release doesn't give an exact number).

Looks like overall deliveries were up 4 percent for the brand (246,000 deliveries!) with the Panamera up a whopping 83 percent (!). Boxster/Cayman were up 6 percent - I thought that was interesting because U.S. sales haven't been as strong this past year for the 718, if I recall correctly.

In comparison, deliveries in previous years for the 911:
2017 32,000 (approximate)
2016 32,365
2015 31,350
2014 30,510
2013 30,205
2012 25,457

China continues to be Porsche's largest market (no shocker there) with a 10 percent increase in deliveries.

China is going up because of tariffs around 3.0 engines and the only reason US went up is Macan sales. Would be interesting to see the breakdown in the US.

nice info.. btw hurricane thanks for winter tire set and packaging material for them.. they are in great shape. Still have to get them mounted for the season. :cheers:

Excellent!!! Sad to see them go...nearly the last parts left of my old car. I still have the (broken) aluminum-look gas cap, though, as a reminder hahaha!

New GTS will hopefully arrive in early April!

Enjoy the wheels! :cheers:

911 sales close to flat (no surprise), similar to global sales. 718 sales down on the year in the U.S., not a surprise (folks that have been watching the monthly stats have seen this for quite a while) but certainly different than the global trend.

And of course the marked improvement of Panamera sales, not surprising...

Amazing the percentage of sales that are SUVs!!!

2015-2016

Yes, they pretty much have become an SUV company.

3, 2, 1 ......

The next comment: "Well, if that gives them $$$ for sports cars ...."

Porsche pickups coming soon........

That's crazy talk! The next thing you know they will be coming out with an electric sedan.

Oh, wait... :D

What we really need is Porsche El Camino. :rockon:

With the engine in the back and the bed out front.

Core 911 (991.2 Carrera, S, GTS) sales are actually down, as a big chunk of the 2017 911 sales are the GT3.
