While Porsche is reporting positive growth in deliveries for most of its models in the first half of the year, deliveries of the Porsche Taycan are down by 5% at 17,991 units worldwide. According to Porsche, the Taycan continues to be more affected by parts shortage than other models in its lineup.
Porsche’s best-selling model for the first six months of the year is the Porsche Macan with 47,755 units delivered worldwide. The Macan shows a growth of 26% over the same period in 2022. As for the rest of Porsche’s lineup, the Cayenne saw 46,884 units delivered (12% growth), the Porsche 911 saw 26,124 units delivered (21% growth), the Panamera saw 17,565 units delivered (13% growth), and the 718 saw 11,035 units delivered (13% growth).
The parts shortage issue has affected all manufacturers but has eased in recent times. While some EVs show a dip in deliveries, some have shown positive growth (i.e. Mercedes-Benz’s EQ range).
As for Porsche’s worldwide deliveries, the company saw positive growth all around. As Porsche AG Board Member for Sales and Marketing, Detlev von Platen said, “After the first six months of the year, we can be pleased with our delivery results so far. We posted gains in every sales region.”
