Despite whatever might have been said about the continuing instabilities within the global economy, know that there will always be losers and there will always be winners. Shrugging off the Eurozone uncertainties, the 8 percent plus unemployment rate in the United States, and the slowing growth in China, Porsche is winning enormously and has announced that its worldwide sales have gained 14 percent in the first six months of the year.
Just this past June, Porsche enjoyed a 18.9 percent increase over the same period last year with a total of 12,699 of its vehicles sold. Between January and June, Porsche sales totaled 69,171.
North American demand has jumped 5.8 percent to 16,450 units thanks in part to the introduction of the all-new Boxster and 911. Surprisingly, Eurozone uncertainty or not, Porsche sales in Europe increased by 19.7 percent to 26,024 in the first six months of 2012. June sales saw a whopping 28.3 percent gain over the year before. Still, no market had a larger sales growth than China -- Porsche saw a 24.5 percent increase to 15,274 vehicles.
The sales-leading model in the line-up was easily the Porsche Cayenne by quite a large margin. The Cayenne accounted for 34,727 vehicle sales while the Panamera accounted for 15,601 sales.
If Porsche continues its pace, the German automaker is well on its way to a strong double digit sales increase for 2012.
