So the world’s economy is in a mess and Italy’s is a basket case, right?
Tell that to Porsche who opened a new center in Milan a few days ago and saw sales increase by 31.2% in the months from January to November.
Overall the German marque saw a 25% hike in global sales for the same period from 88,033 to 109,709.
There were regional variations with its home market, Germany, posting negative pan-European growth of 1.3%. The 3.1% softening in Asia is explained by long delivery times for the Cayenne and Panamera models.
By contrast, Russia posted the biggest growth in this region, up 44.4%, while sales in Japan rose 36.5%.
The Zuffenhausen model in greatest demand worldwide in November 2011 was, again, the Cayenne SUV, of which just less than 5,000 were delivered to customers. In the past month, Porsche delivered just over a fifth more of the Panamera sports saloons than in the same month the year before. In the process the top of the range Turbo and Turbo S versions exceeded all previous expectations with 228 units, being sold.
A third shift will be introduced in Leipzig starting in January 2012 to meet the strong demand for the Cayenne and Panamera.
