Average age is roughly 52--I assumed, for each bracket, the midpoint (i.e., 25, 35, 45, 55, etc.), multiplied by the number in each, summed the total, and divided by 120.

I’m sure Porsche knows exactly a) how old its current owners are, and b) how old they were when they bought their first 911.

I'm 73, still hoping for any years of fun and joy. Seems to me that we have the same preference in our cars. Cheers

I am 53, bought my first Porsche; a 2012 911 turbo, 8 years ago. After a major accident, the vehicle was replaced by a 2015 Cayman, followed by a 2016 Cayman. And most recently a 2019 Cayman S.
Have a 2022 Carrera base on order, ETA 10/29/2021. Also have a 2020 BMW M2 comp as a daily.

Cheers!
