Figures that have something to satisfy, on the side of Porsche. Despite everything, Detlev von Platen, member of the Management Board of Porsche AG, in charge of sales and marketing wants to do better in 2020:
“We are delighted with these good results. The sales figures testify to the tremendous enthusiasm of our customers for our sports cars all over the world. We are proud to have been able to enhance the brand’s attractiveness and the customer experience with new approaches. We are optimistic about our ability to maintain the high level of demand in 2020, in particular thanks to the launch of several new models and the success of the Taycan, which has a well-filled order book. ”
A goal recently reflected in the release of a new SUV, the Porsche Macan GTS. But also of a limited series of Porsche 911, paying homage to Jacky Ickx (six-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 60s and 70s and 80s).
