"[China] is on the path to normality. We are expecting further growth. But the end of high dynamic growth has been reached for the time being," said the automaker's sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier. "China is and remains a key market for Porsche. Just as important for us are the USA and Europe."

In August 2015, 5,008 new cars were delivered in the United States, a rise of 10% in the most successful single market that month.

Sales in Germany and Europe brightened up the rising uncertainties about China's economic future. Porsche delivered 13.6% more cars in Germany and 35.7% more in Europe compared with the same month last year.

Maier remained cautiously optimistic. "We are pursuing our aims prudently and with all the necessary respect in view of the highly volatile global economy. For us this means that qualitative growth is the barometer of our success, not only the registration figures. Our focus is definitely on ROI and employment."
