About 20,000 Porsche Taycans delivered

All-electric Taycan deliveries of 20,015 last year helped Porsche achieve a strong global result.

The brand delivered 272,162 new vehicles worldwide in 2020, just 3% below a record 2019, in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic challenges.

“We were able to keep deliveries comparatively stable for the year as a whole,” Porsche AG sales and marketing executive board member Detlev von Platen says.

“Our fresh, attractive product range, the successful start of the Taycan as the first all-electric Porsche and the charisma of our brand – all this contributed to this positive result despite the difficult times.”

Taycan deliveries were impacted by a six-week stop to production just as the new model was ramping up and many markets were planning local launches.

Porsche says it is experiencing growth in Asia-Pacific and China especially and it is optimistic about further positive developments this year.

Von Platen says Porsche’s continuing product offensive will include Taycan derivatives.

Porsche Cars Australia delivered 4243 vehicles in 2020, a 2% increase compared to 4161 sales in 2019.
