Porsche has experienced steady growth in the first half of this year, a success attributed to the release of the 718 Boxster and Cayman models. Compared to last year, sales in the United States have increased by 6%, while sales in China have grown by 4%. The luxury car manufacturer delivered over 6,000 new Caymans and nearly 7,000 new Boxsters internationally, and both cars were met by consumers with unparalleled popularity. This year, Porsche has delivered 117,963 new vehicles worldwide, up 3% from deliveries mid-year in 2015.

The event included 300 members of the press as well as guests from the entertainment, business, and sports industries. The 2017 Panamera has been completely reimagined, and Porsche was more than excited to show it off. Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG said, “We have tapped into the segment of luxury sport sedans with the Panamera. Since it launched in 2009, over 150,000 units of the Panamera have been sold. The new model represents a completely redeveloped automobile—with new engines, a new design, and new technologies. Furthermore, we are now manufacturing the second generation of the vehicle entirely at our Leipzig production site. To this end, we have invested a sum of 500 million Euros, which includes a completely new body manufacturing facility.” Some of the new Panamera features include: Twin-Turbo Engines Eight-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission 550hp Panamera Turbo Engine or 440hp Panamera 4S Engine All-Wheel Drive Three-Chamber Air Suspension Rear Axle Steering Electronic 4D Chassis Control Porsche Advanced Cockpit Porsche Communication Management Porsche Connect To learn more about the 2017 Porsche Panamera, stop by indiGO Auto Group’s Porsche St. Louis.
