New Porsche Head Proposed Three New Models and Says Porsche Will Double Sales
September 16, 2009
As of yesterday, September 15, VW CEO Dr. Martin Winterkorn has the helm at Porsche. Even before taking over, he was already talking about future plans at Porsche.
First, he has set a goal to double Porsche sales within four years. Current sales are around 75,000 per year, so the new goal is 150,000 vehicles by 2013.
So how does he plan to do it? He is proposing three new models. The first would be a two-seat roadster slotted below the Boxster, possibly based on the VW Bluesport concept. The second would be a second SUV/crossover that is smaller and slots in below the Cayenne, possibly based on the VW Tiguan. And finally, possibly another version of the Panamera.
Personally, I’m a little worried that Porsche will lose their focus in an effort to double sales.
