If you find it in your hair, know that Porsche sold more nineteen in the first half of 2020 than in the first six months of 2019. And that’s a very decent number, especially when you consider that the current Porsche 911 is being sold for the second time. year.
–
During the same period, Porsche also recorded an operating profit of 1.2 billion euros and sales of 12.42 billion euros, a year-on-year decrease of 7.3%. This is no longer such a reason to celebrate, but it is certainly not a colossal trouble, especially given the situation in recent months, when the average decline in sales in Europe is around twenty-five percent. There is probably no point in talking about the losses of individual cars.

“The start of sales of the long-awaited 911 Turbo and the start of production of the Taycan, which was voted the most innovative car in the world, helped us a lot,” said Oliver Blume Chairman.

And when it comes to Taycan, be careful! It was Taycan that became Porsche’s best-selling car in Europe, crushing the Panamera, overtaking the Porsche 911 and even sweeping it with a bestseller named Cayenne. In August, 1,183 Taycan cars, 1,097 Porsche 911 models and “only” 771 Cayenne cars were sold in Europe.

True, a careful examination of sales will show that the Cayenne is still number one, but only if you combine the sales of a regular Cayenne with the sales of the Cayenne Coupe variant.
–
Panamera’s sales, meanwhile, have fallen by an incredible 71 percent, an alarming number, especially as its sales decline worldwide. The competition in the form of the Mercedes S, Audi A8 and BMW 7 manages this period much better.
–
In other words, it almost seems that there has been a fratricidal duel in Porsche and that it may happen that the new purely electric Taycan can send the hitherto popular Panamera to the sidelines, or bury it completely in the longer term. Purely theoretically… Which model would you prefer?
