Porsche announced its global sales recently and it showed a remarkable growth of 13 per cent year on year. The single largest market for the company remained China where it sold more than 69,000 units. But in all of this, there's a major story emerging and that's the sales of the Taycan, which is the company's first electric vehicle. 28,640 units of the fully electric Taycan were delivered to customers in the first nine months of 2021 and this number is more than both the iconic 911 (27,972 units), the Panamera (20,275 units) and even the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman (15,916 units). The sales numbers for the Taycan that show the direction in which the overall market is heading to and the future is indeed electric.
