With help from new convertible and and four-wheel drive versions, 911 registrations increased 3.4% to 7,099 vehicles (previous year: 6,863). The Boxster series – including the new Cayman coupe derivative – posted an increase of 24.3% compared to the previous year with 4,016 registrations (3,231). However, Cayenne all-terrain vehicle sales dropped 10.5% to 5,384 (6,019). A further 48 units of the high-performance Carrera GT sports car were also registered (60).
Porsche Deutschland managing director Bernhard Maier said: “Despite the continuing difficult market environment, we posted another record figure for registrations in our domestic market in 2005. This is mainly due to our new models, which – most recently at the presentation of the Cayman S in November – have been greeted with much enthusiasm.”
Maier is also confident for 2006. Along with the Cayman S, the new 521 HP Cayenne Turbo S, which to be launched in Germany next March, is expected to give sales a boost.
