In the model ranges, the Panamera showed the largest percentage increase - up to the end of September, deliveries of the four-door sports car increased by 60%. The 911 also saw double-digit growth with a plus of 19%. The highest-volume model ranges remain the Macan with 68,050 delivered vehicles and the Cayenne with 49,715 units.
"In Germany and Europe overall, our attractive product range meant that we were very well positioned to meet the strong demand for our sports cars in the first nine months," says Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing. "We are also extremely satisfied with our growth rates in the U.S.A and China."
"There are a number of significant challenges that await us in the fourth quarter, and we will take proactive steps to ensure that we face up to them successfully. This includes the changeover to the new WLTP test cycle and petrol particulate filters and the farewell to diesel engines," says von Platen.
