With a record 10,912 cars sold in August (20.8% over numbers from August of 2011), and a total of 92,474 units sold so far in 2012 (15% increase over the same period of 2011), Porsche sales are going very strong. The US alone snapped up just over three thousand cars in August - a massive 38.6% increase over last year’s figures.
The Stuttgart-based automaker also managed to boost its China numbers, with some 2,882 cars sold in the PRC - 28.4% more than last year. Europe, where everybody expects everything related to money and high end products to be going down also registered a 12.8% increase over August of 2011, with 2,830 vehicles sold.

Of the total sales, the Cayenne predictably was the big seller, with 6,331 vehicles sold (a 36% increase), while the 911 sold 1,599 units (a 29.5% increase), and the Boxster with 850 units sold, marking a 32% growth. Bernhard Maier, Porsche Board Member, also confirmed that they will be bringing out “an additional product highlight” - speculation ranges from it being the facelifted Panamera, the 911 GT3, the 918 Spyder, or even the Macan SUV.
