It seems that here at Performance Porsche we are constantly reporting on the exciting sales momentum that the German automaker is experiencing. With last month's sales in, Porsche was proud to announce it reached a total sale of 3,327 units. This is a record August for Porsche Cars North America, and a boost over last August's sales by 10 percent. When looking at the year as a whole, sales are up by 28 percent with a total of 28,456 vehicles sold throughout the U.S.
Of course as always, such impressive sales are due to the strong performance of a few key new Porsche models. Leading the pack with 1,435 units sold was one of our favorites, the Porsche Cayenne. This amounts to a year-over-year increase of 40 percent.
Following closely behind the leader were the Boxter and Cayman models. They recorded a combined total of 669 units, which is nearly double the amount sold in 2012.
Looking ahead to the future, Joe Lawrence, executive vice president and COO of Porsche Cars North America, Inc., excitedly explains, "Announcing a historic sales month is always a great way to start a new position. With the new Panamera line in our dealerships this month, we are confident that we will maintain this strong pace going into the fall season. We are particularly excited about the arrival of the Panamera S E-Hybrid in November, the very first plug-in hybrid in the luxury segment, which will provide further momentum to our second-generation Gran Turismo."1
We're quite eager to see these new models make their way to our Chapel Hill, NC showroom. A bright future lies ahead for the automaker, so be sure to keep up with the latest news right here on our blog. You won't want to miss out!
