- Vehicles delivered in 2023 increased by 3.31 TP1T from the previous year to 320,221 units.
- The various sales regions are more evenly balanced than in FY2022.
- Porsche's biggest model launch program ever sees Cayenne, Panamera, Macan, Taycan and 911 fully updated
- This will halve the average age of the model lineup
- In terms of technology, the new products are setting new standards in the automotive industry.
- Porsche has many cards up its sleeve, and now is the time to play them.
※Isn't this a little exciting? Oliver said, "We hold many trump cards in our hand – and now is the time to play them."

- On the all-electric Macan, due for release in 2024: Porsche's long-standing bestseller is now all-electric and will remain the best-performing model in its segment.
- We are confident that the new 911 (992.2) will set new standards once again.
- First 911 with hybrid drive is inspired by motorsport and offers more power and improved driving dynamics
- On the Nürburgring Nordschleife, it is 8.7 seconds faster than the previous model (992.2 911 Carrera GTS).
- It is already clear that high-performance hybrid technology is a perfect fit for the 911 Carrera GTS
- Oliver Blume also explained the "V-shaped effect" in the market with the sale of each model.
- The predecessor model will be gradually reduced in terms of unit numbers, while the new model will be phased in based on market and variant.
- This sales and revenue V-curve is normal
- Porsche strives to control this as much as possible in each model series.
- Porsche has always forged its own path and always kept the customer in mind.
- We will face the headwinds and work harder
- Porsche is not just launching new products, it's also investing decisively in the future, even in (and especially in) difficult times.
- Last year alone, we invested almost 5 billion euros in research and development and the Porsche ecosystem – the largest investment in our history
- Porsche is determined to push ahead with digitalization within the company
- 4 billion euros to be invested over the next five years, of which more than 350 million euros will be invested in data and artificial intelligence

Porsche's long-term forecast
- We are pleased with our strong start to the second quarter and continued growth in demand across most regions.
- However, current demand for luxury goods in China is weak across all markets, both consumer goods and automobiles.
- The macroeconomic environment remains challenging, but Porsche AG sticks to its forecast unless the macroeconomic situation deteriorates significantly
- For the full year 2024, Group operating margin is expected to be between 15 and 17 percent (based on Group sales in a range of approximately €40 billion to €42 billion)
- We maintain our forecast that the Group's operating profit margin will be around 17-19% in the medium term
- In the long term, the group aims for an operating profit margin of 20% or more.
