“We have started the year very well and expect that we will once again achieve our strategic goal of a 15% return on sales in 2021,” said finance chief Lutz Meschke. “Reaching this benchmark is an even greater achievement because we are investing significantly more compared with the past in electrification, digitalisation and also sustainability.”
Porsche delivered almost 72,000 vehicles worldwide in the first three months of the year, an increase of 36% year on year.
The most popular model was the Macan.
