Porsche sold 69,171 vehicles globally during the first six months of 2012, representing a 14 percent increase over the same period a year earlier. Porsche sales were helped by strong demand in Europe, the United States and China.
Demand for Porsche vehicles in the United States remained relatively strong during the period, with deliveries increasing 5.8 percent to 16,450. The roll out of new vehicles like the 911 and Boxster appear to be helping Porsche's sales in the U.S. as June sales increased 17.9 percent to 3,009 units.
China saw the largest growth spurt of any of Porsche's major markets with a 24.5 percent sales increase to 15,274 vehicles.
The Cayenne was easily Porsche's most popular model during the first-half with 34,727 vehicles sold. The Panamera ranked second with 15,601 sales, followed closely by the 911 with 14,338 worldwide deliveries.
Porsche says it is planning for double-digit growth in 2012.
