Setting the pace was the Cayenne model line, which sold 1,435 units, up six per cent over last August and a 40 per cent increase year-to-date. Combined Boxster and Cayman sales were 669, compared to 394 in August 2012 (plus 70 per cent). For the year, the mid-engine sports cars are up more than 200 per cent. The 911 line, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, remained strong with sales of 769 units, an increase of 22 per cent over the same period last year (plus 12 per cent YTD).

"Announcing a historic sales month is always a great way to start a new position," said Joe Lawrence, Executive Vice-President and COO, Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

"With the new Panamera line in our dealerships this month, we are confident that we will maintain this strong pace going into the fall season," he further added. "We are particularly excited about the arrival of the Panamera S E-Hybrid in November, the very first plug-in hybrid in the luxury segment, which will provide further momentum to our second-generation Gran Turismo."

Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 943 for August 2013, an increase of 8 per cent over August 2012 (870).
