Porsche deliveries remained at a stable level in the first three months of the year. Overall, the sports car manufacturer delivered 77,640 vehicles to customers around the world between January and March. This represents a moderate decline of 4 percent on the previous year.
In Europe (excluding Germany), Porsche
delivered 20,044 cars in the first quarter, an increase of 9 percent
over the same period the previous year. In the company’s home market of
Germany, the number of vehicles delivered rose by as much as 37 percent.
In total, 11,274 units were delivered to customers. In China, the
sports car manufacturer delivered 16,340 vehicles from January to March -
a decrease of 24 percent. Key reasons for this are the focus on
value-oriented sales, the continued tense economic situation in the
Chinese market and a strong equivalent period in the previous year due
to initial post-Covid catch-up effects. In North America, Porsche
delivered 15,087 vehicles to customers, which means a decrease of 23
percent. The decline is mainly explained by a customs related delay in
the shipping of some models. In the overseas and emerging markets,
14,895 cars were delivered to customers, representing an increase of 14
percent.
With 28,025 units, the Cayenne recorded the most
deliveries in the first quarter (+20 percent). The Macan was delivered
to 20,576 customers. This represents a decrease of 14 percent and is
attributable to a disproportionately strong period in the previous year.
Nevertheless, many orders have already been received for the new
all-electric generation of the SUV. The first vehicles will be handed
over to customers in the second half of the year.
The iconic 911
sports car is still very popular with customers: 12,892 were sold
worldwide (+17 percent). The Panamera was delivered to 6,139 customers
(-28 percent). The decrease is related to the current model change. The
same applies to the Taycan. Shortly before the end of the product cycle,
4,236 customers took delivery of the all-electric sports car in the
first quarter (-54 percent). The recently presented new versions of the
model have been extensively updated and have more performance and range,
faster acceleration and shorter charging times. The first deliveries to
customers will start in April. The 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman models
posted 5,772 deliveries, representing an increase of 20 percent.
