Porsche AG, the
parent company of the Porsche brand, celebrated remarkable financial results in the months January to March 2013. These
results show that the company returned a turnover of about R39 billion, while profit for the three months was about R6.8 billion. This was due to sales
picking up 21% to 37 009 units.
Gone are the days where Porsche only sold the 911 and that itself
was a rare sight. Today I saw five different 911s on the streets of Jozi alone.
I cannot say how many Cayennes are roaming the streets, given that this is the
company’s biggest seller. A total of 19 658
Cayennes were sold globally in this period under focus, followed by the 911
range (the new 911 Turbo and Turbo S are out) at 7 230 cars, with
the Panamera at 5 669, while 3 863
and 589 copies of the Boxster and Cayman moved off the shelves respectively.
“The expansion of the Leipzig
plant as well as the development of the sports SUV Macan and the super sports car 918 Spyder are incurring high expenditures
that will not yet be compensated by corresponding vehicle revenue. These sales will only be realised in the coming year when
our new models are sold,” Chief Financial Officer Lutz Meschke explained.
