"Worldwide sales of Porsche's cars and sport-utility vehicles in fiscal 2006 rose 9.5 percent to 96,794 units, the company said Sept. 27. Demand for 911-model sports cars rose 24 percent to 34,386 units. Deliveries of the Boxster, including the Cayman, rose 55 percent to 17,906 cars.

Quote about profit margins:
"Porsche's net income as a proportion of sales is the highest in the industry at 19 percent. That compares with 7.5 percent at Toyota Motor Corp., the world's second-biggest carmaker, for the year ended March 31, according to data compiled by Bloomberg." |
Hi,
Interesting, but perhaps somewhat deceiving. The current numbers beat the all-time high for the 911 -32,337 units ('01/'02). But falls well below the all-time high for the Boxster - 27,865 units ('00/'01), and these figures didn't include the Cayman. The Cayenne is really taking it on the chin as well from their all-time high of 39,913 ('03/'04)...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
