North American Sales Record for Porsche in March

Growth for the 911 model line in its most important market

A year after its market launch in North America, the Cayenne's success story continues. In March 2004 there were 1,507 deliveries of this sports all-terrain vehicle to customers, 68 percent more than in March 2003, the Cayenne having been launched in North America only halfway through that month.

With sales of 1,306 units, the sports cars almost equaled the figure for the same month a year previously, when 1,382 were delivered. In March 2004, sales of the Boxster model line in North America were 457 units (down by 23 percent), but deliveries of the 911 model line went up by eight percent to 849 units. As the spring season started, the new Cabriolet versions of the 911 Carrera 4S and 911 Turbo were in strong demand.
