Porsche delivered 178,532 vehicles worldwide to customers in the first nine months of 2026 (212,509 in the previous year). Delivery trends in the third quarter followed those of the first half of the year. The 16 percent decline after nine months remains unchanged from the previous year, as it was for the first half as well.
The 911 model series remains highly sought after by customers: it showed a 12 percent increase compared to the previous year in the first nine months. Porsche reports that demand for particularly exclusive and high-performance variants remained strong across all model series. GTS, Turbo, and GT models once again accounted for a large share of total sales.
"The high proportion of our top models, especially the 911, demonstrates the exceptional appeal of our brand," says Matthias Becker, Board Member for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG. "Our customers consciously choose the most exclusive and emotionally compelling versions of our sports cars. This strengthens our unique position, allowing us to serve both the sporty premium segment and the sporty luxury segment."
The Cayenne remains the strongest model line
With 59,586 vehicles delivered, the Cayenne remains Porsche’s best-selling model line worldwide. Since its launch in summer 2023, 7,002 Cayenne Electric vehicles have been delivered to customers. Overall, the model line’s sales are slightly below last year’s level (-2%). 51,025 Macan vehicles were delivered (-21% compared to the same period last year), of which 23,029 were the all-electric version. The gasoline-powered Macan was delivered 27,996 times to customers. Production of the gasoline version will cease starting in summer 2026.
The sports car flagship, the 911, saw its deliveries increase by 12 percent to 42,217 units compared to the same period last year. The smaller sports car models, the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman, had 3,291 deliveries (-79% compared to the previous year). The 718 model line has not been produced since last October. Of the luxury sedan Panamera, 13,714 units were delivered to customers in the first nine months (-35%). The Taycan electric car series, available as a sports sedan and hatchback, saw 8,699 deliveries during the same period (-31%).
Different Developments in World Regions
North America remains Porsche’s largest sales region with 56,088 vehicles delivered. The 13 percent decline compared to the previous year is attributed by the company primarily to the end of production for the 718 model series and the strong performance of the Macan Electric in the same period last year. In Europe (excluding Germany), 44,949 vehicles were delivered to customers, a decrease of 11 percent. In Germany, Porsche delivered 20,954 vehicles, representing a seven percent decline.
The overseas and growth markets saw 35,048 deliveries, a decrease of 19 percent. The decline is attributed, according to the company, to supply shortages for the 718 model series and the conventional Macan. In China, 21,493 vehicles were delivered in the first nine months, a decrease of 33 percent. “The market conditions there remain equally challenging,” said Porsche.
"With our strategy ‘Sportwagenschmiede 35,’ introduced at the Capital Markets Day, we have clearly defined our goals for the coming years: Porsche will remain committed to its value-over-volume strategy. Our focus is on particularly sought-after sports cars, attractive derivatives, and further expanding our customization offerings. We are on the right track," says Sales Director Becker.
