Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller was recently quoted saying that he sees no signs of a downturn in the automotive industry.
We can see why: If everything works out with Volkswagen, Porsche expects to sell 140,000 cars next year, up from 120,000 this year.
Moreover, by 2018, Porsche hopes to deliver 200,000 new cars (the same year that Volkswagen anticipates to take the No. 1 spot for most new car sales in the world) and will add three nameplates to the existing four. This is no coincidence.
In order to achieve this, they will continue to introduce new stuff. We have it on good authority that coming down the pipeline are a revamped Boxster arriving early next summer, a Panamera and Cayenne GTS coming a few weeks later and a Cayenne Diesel appearing by the end of 2012 – then comes the Cajun and 918.
Tantalize we say.
