The multifaceted challenges faced by the sports car manufacturer in the various regions of the world painted a varied picture when it comes to deliveries. In Europe, Porsche delivered 22,791 vehicles in the first quarter, marking a year-on-year increase of 18 percent - despite figures being very strong over the same period in 2021. Numbers were also up in the home market of Germany, with 6,925 deliveries representing an increase of 16 percent.
In China, the largest single market
for Porsche, the sports car manufacturer made 17,685 deliveries. The
renewed outbreak of the coronavirus associated with the closure of
Porsche Centres in some regions and logistic challenges, resulted in a
decline of 20 percent of delivery. In total, 28,991 vehicles were
delivered to Porsche customers in Asia-Pacific, Africa and Middle East.
In the US, 13,042 vehicles were delivered to Porsche customers despite
supply and transit issues affecting multiple automotive brands. This
compares to the best first quarter ever in the previous year.
The
greatest demand was, once again, for Porsche’s SUV models. The Cayenne
was delivered to 19,029 customers. Deliveries of the Macan totalled
18,329. The all-electric Taycan went to 9,470 customers. The sports car
icon, the 911, was delivered 9,327 times worldwide. A total of 7,735
examples of the Panamera went to customers. A further 4,536 deliveries
of the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman were made.
