Porsche Sales Numbers for 2021 – Another Record Setting Year

Porsche Macan tops the sales numbers for 20212021 – Porsche sells 55,000 new four-door models vs. just 14,000 new sports car coupe models!

Porsche’s sales in 2020 were still remarkable, but 2021 new car sales have exceeded the 2019 numbers by a record amount. And, order books for 2022 are full – apparently!

While American manufacturers are moaning about no semiconductors, VW ensured enough of the little rascal chips were available for Porsche to deliver their new cars. The strategy worked with more than 70,000 new cars sold in the USA in 2021. Porsche now makes more money per vehicle sold than any other manufacturer in the USA. Not bad considering the financial mess Porsche found itself in some years ago. Read Full Article »

Porsche North America Reports Sales Volume for 2020 – Not Many Suprises

Porsche North America repaorts sales for 2020 including the TaycanReading Between the Lines of a Crazy Pandemic Sales Year

2020 was certainly a wild ride from many perspectives and the business climate was generally disrupted throughout the country. You therefore, don’t need to be a rocket scientist to predict lower sales results from most enterprises. Having said that, Porsche posted results that actually are not too shabby and in fact, still show growth when compared to 2018.

Yes, overall sales declined by a little over 4000 cars, but volume held up pretty well considering the obscure environment or “new normal” that we find ourselves in. Don’t worry though, uncle Joe and the blue cavalry will sort it all out real soon and everything will be back to…well, different. So what do the sales numbers really tell us? Read Full Article »

Porsche 911 Turbo S 992 – No Jargonauts Here!

911 992 turbo sPorsche has become a victim of naming cliché. This problem occurs when your flagship product is the “Turbo.” Yup, that’s the really beastly 911 from the past with bags of power and is a household name in Porsche circles. The new 992 911 Turbo S doesn’t disappoint with it’s 640HP.

However, when the whole vehicle range now features a turbocharged engine, things start to get a little watered down – isn’t everything now a Porsche Turbo? To add clarity, Porsche thought it was a brilliant idea to call the all new electric Taycan a Turbo as well! So, everything is a turbo, not! The new 992 911 Turbo S is, but then again, so is everything else, mostly – clear?

EV Cars and the Porsche Taycan

Meanwhile, 122 years later….

On June 26, 1898, the P1 officially rolled out onto the streets of Vienna, Austria. The Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model or “P1” for short, is the world’s first Porsche. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and is considered to be the first stepping stone before he and his son created Porsche the company. The vehicle resembles a wooden crate or an old horse-drawn carriage, but it is actually an electric motored vehicle.

Fast forward 122 years and Porsche launch the Taycan – an electric car! 122 years, later we conclude that electric power for vehicles is probably the way to go! Read Full Article »

Electric Porsche Macan

Plug-in for 700 HP

Porsche is adapting the electric vehicle technology found in the Taycan for a new Macan EV. Plug-in and zip to the shops gas free with 700 HP on tap – sounds like a winner in a seriously good looking car, but wait, the shape will change!

According to Autocar, the Macan EV will be a radically different body style to differentiate it from its combustion-powered sibling. Initially, it will be sold alongside the regular Macan as a Turbo S model when it arrives in 2021. Funny isn’t it? You go all electric and green but you still need the muscly sounding “Turbo S” to get the right attention.

Taycan Pricing – You’ll need $150K to start this game!

Seems like the all new electric car is going to be somewhere between $150K and north of $200K.  Interestingly, the high end model will likely be called a turbo, although it isn’t.

I guess once you start using the word turbo, it’s difficult to put it down and there is likely a whole collection of turbo badges lying around somewhere just waiting to be used.
