Porsche attributed its first quarter success to the popularity of its latest Macan small utility vehicle. Porsche also expects its latest GT models — the 911 GT3 RS and Cayman GT4 — as well as the upcoming Boxster Spyder to boost the company’s sales in the coming months.
“Our successful vehicle derivatives strategy lets us satisfy the wishes of many customers who want to own a comprehensively personalized vehicle,” said CEO Matthias Muller.
In order to keep up with growing demand, Porsche expanded its workforce by 12 percent to 22,945 people during Q1.
