The Macan was the best-seller, but the pure electric Taycan outsold the 911, in global figures revealed today
► Record year for Porsche deliveries
The company delivered 41,296 Taycans worldwide, compared with 38,464 deliveries of the 59-year-old icon. The Taycan didn’t outsell the 911 because it had a bad year – that 911 total was a new high for the nameplate – but it appears more customers wanted the electric sports car.going on sale, and the first full year of the Cross Turismo bodystyle, whereas the 911 is nearing the end of the first 992 wave .
It’ll be fascinating to see if the Taycan continues its lead over the 911 in 2022, or whether it dips back as fresh rivals from Tesla, Mercedes, Lotus and BMW sway tech-loving EV adopters. Taycan sales will give Porsche great reassurance as it embarks on the electrification of its portfolio. The company will become almost entirely electric this decade, with this year’sthe next zero emissions model. It’ll be sold alongside the existing combustion engine model during a transition period.
