Porsche 2016

[Wing Commander]

Another good year for Porsche.

Total sales up 6% to 237,778.

The most successful year in Porsche's history.

Profit margin up to 17.4% for one of the world's most profitable car makers.

Employees up by 13% to 27,612.

2.2 billion Euros spent on R&D.

Again the Macan was the top seller, followed again by the Cayenne.

About 40% of new Porsches delivered were Macans, with nearly 30% being Cayennes.

That leaves about 30% of new deliveries being Panameras, Caymans, Boxsters and 911s.

Don't suppose there is a breakdown by country escpecially the U.K.?

[Ian.g]

Again, it's official. Porsche are an SUV manufacturer who also make some sports cars!

[VanB]

With 95,111.2 Macans delivered it doesn't bode well for residuals, especially for whoever got the 0.2

[Wing Commander]

I did say "about" 40%

[Wing Commander]

Don't suppose there is a breakdown by country escpecially the U.K.?

I found this:

Europe 78,975 (including 29,247 in Germany)

America 65,591 (including 54,280 in USA)

Asia, Africa, Middle East 93,212 (including 65,246 in China)

Europe 78,975

Hmmmmm perhaps I should have kept my Mazda CX3? A bit more exclusive with only 52,000 sold in Europe

Or even a Citroen Cactus with only 72,000 sold.

Perhaps Porsche is moving into Ford territory?

[Macandriver]

Interesting numbers. I wonder if UK is the biggest European market.

[Wing Commander]

I'm guessing that Germany may be the biggest European market, with maybe the UK second...

Common as muck! I saw 5 Macans this morning while driving from Bromley to Charlton in SE London, about 6 miles.
