Porsche Panamera Production Reaches 10 000

Posted on 15 December 2009 by Scott

Porsche has announced the 10 000th Panamera has rolled off the assembly line in Leipzig, Germany.

Considering that the model has only been on sale for three months, and we’ve only seen a handful on South African roads, this is an impressive feat. Interestingly it’s the high-end models that Porsche say are making up the majority of Panamera sales, with 44 percent of customers are ordering the 4S, 36 percent opting for the Turbo, and 20 percent are buying the Panamera S.

According to Michael Macht, Chairman of the Board of Porsche AG, ‘Sales of the Panamera have really taken off: we have already secured over 9 000 orders. Shortly after it was launched our Gran Turismo won the coveted ‘Goldenes Lenkrad’ (‘Golden steering wheel’) and ‘Auto Trophy’ awards in Germany. It has also won many international prizes.”

In case you were wondering, the 10 000th car – a platinum silver metallic Panamera Turbo – was built for a customer in Singapore.
