Automobile manufacturer presents interim report
Porsche Automobil Holding SE, Stuttgart, today published its interim report, which reports particularly on the first three months of the 2009/10 fiscal year (1 August 2009 to 31 October 2009). The report, which covers the business of both Porsche and Volkswagen in the reporting period, is not comparable with the corresponding report of the prior year. The reason is the increase in Porsche SE’s share of voting rights in Volkswagen AG, effected on 5 January 2009, to over 50 percent and the ensuing full consolidation of Volkswagen. As a result, consolidated revenue for the three-month reporting period amounts to 26.8 billion euro, of which 1.1 billion euro is attributable to Porsche. This is a 30.5 percent fall in the revenue recorded by the Stuttgart-based automobile manufacturer compared to the prior-year period. Continue reading ‘Porsche to increase sales with the Panamera’

The Panamera isn’t Porsche’s first attempt at straying away from the 911-range with a totally atypical model. It might not even be one of its most disastrous. On the contrary, considering the market today. For example, starting from the 1970s, Porsche has tried to either draw attention from or complement the 911 with cars like the 914, 924/944, 928, Boxster/Cayman and of course, the Cayenne. So far, the most atypical of them all, the Cayenne, has actually proved to also be the best-seller of the bunch.
