Porsche AG exceeded the record figure from the previous year by seven per cent in the first half of 2017. The Macan remains the main driver of this growth and the highest-volume model line.

The plug-in hybrid versions and the new Sport Turismo version of the Panamera will provide us with even more momentum.”
