Porsche Cars North America Inc., a subsidiary of Porsche AG, reported February sales of 2,805 vehicles in U.S., an increase of 31% as compared to 2,149 vehicles sold in February 2012.
For the year so far, Porsche has delivered 6,163 vehicles compared to 4,699 during the same period last year, also an increase of 31%.
According to the company, Cayenne sales were strong, posting an increase of 79% to 1,173 units, up from 657 in February 2012. Boxster sales were 391 units, a tenfold increase from the same period last year.
“Demand for our products remained robust in February, continuing the momentum from our 2012 sales record,” Porsche Cars North America President and CEO Detlev von Platen said in a statement.
“Rising interest in the Cayenne Diesel as well as the first sales of the new flagship Cayenne Turbo S boosted Cayenne. Even with the strong demand for Cayenne, nearly 45 percent of our sales in February were two-door sports cars, which were bolstered by the new Boxster and deliveries of the new 911 Carrera 4 models.”
