Whereas math was by no means my forte in class, I did benefit from the statistics lessons I had to absorb faculty. Once in a while, I prefer to preserve that curiosity alive by highlighting attention-grabbing numbers from automakers’ gross sales stories. With the primary half of the 12 months within the rearview mirror, Porsche has revealed what labored and what didn’t via June. Apart from the 911, each different mannequin is down, and all however one have fallen by double digits.
Having ended manufacturing of the 718 Boxster and Cayman final 12 months, Porsche now has the 911 as its sole surviving sports activities automobile. It rose by 19 % in H1 2026, reaching 30,534 clients worldwide. Porsche says demand was fueled by a number of latest derivatives, with the GTS, Turbo, and GT variants doing the heavy lifting.
The 911 outsold the Taycan by practically a 5-to-1 margin. Okay, it’s not precisely a good comparability given their vastly completely different roles, however a distinct segment sports activities automobile outselling a extra mainstream four-door automobile is virtually extraordinary. Usually, it’s the opposite approach round. The electrical sedan and wagon duo plummeted by 25 % to six,219 models via June.

The Taycan Wagons Are Lifeless In America
Sooner or later, Porsche will promote its inaugural EV completely as a sedan in the US, however the long-roof mannequin will continue to be sold elsewhere. There hasn’t been any phrase on a possible second-generation mannequin, however we’ll study extra in regards to the future product portfolio this fall at Capital Markets Day. CEO Michael Leiters just lately prompt that the Taycan and Panamera lineups could merge to slash prices, however no remaining resolution has been introduced.
Since we talked about the Panamera, the posh five-door liftback isn’t having an amazing 12 months both. It fell by a worrying 38 % within the first half of the 12 months, and Porsche blames a short lived product hole in China. That hole has since been stuffed, so the Panamera might bounce again for the remainder of 2026, as China is likely one of the mannequin’s most vital markets.
What in regards to the SUVs? The Cayenne stays Porsche’s best-selling mannequin total regardless of falling by 9 % to 38,141 models. That determine consists of the totally electrical model, though solely a handful have been delivered since shipments didn’t start till late June. It’s price noting that the EV isn’t changing the ICE mannequin, as each will coexist for a few years.
| Mannequin | January-June 2026 gross sales | Distinction vs January-June 2025 gross sales |
| Cayenne (together with EV) | 38,141 | -9% |
| Macan | 35,315 (19,695 ICE + 15,620 EV) | -22% |
| 911 | 30,534 | +19% |
| Panamera | 9,308 | -38% |
| Taycan | 6,219 | -25% |
| Boxster/Cayman | 2,789 | -73% |
The Fuel Macan Is Dying
As for the smaller Macan, it’s down 22 % in comparison with the primary six months of final 12 months. Why? Zuffenhausen cites a “slower-than-expected ramp-up of electromobility” mixed with the tip of EV incentives within the U.S. Porsche additionally says the numbers look worse as a result of the Macan posted glorious H1 2025 outcomes.
The primary-generation Macan is on its final legs, with production ending in late July. Although it has one foot within the grave and hasn’t been bought in Europe since mid-2024, the unique Macan nonetheless outsold its electrical counterpart: 19,695 models versus 15,620. Porsche is engaged on a substitute for the ICE mannequin, nevertheless it received’t arrive till 2028. When it does, it’ll carry a special identify.
Predictably, the 718 sits lifeless final within the gross sales charts given Porsche hasn’t constructed a Boxster or Cayman since October 2025. The two,789 models delivered have been all leftover stock, and most certainly none went to clients in Europe. As with the gas-powered Macan, the 718 was prematurely retired from the continent in mid-2024 after failing to fulfill a cybersecurity regulation. Nonetheless, the Cayman GT4 RS and Boxster RS Spyder have been exempt due to their restricted manufacturing run. The 718 returns later this decade with combustion engines, alongside the electrical fashions Porsche hasn’t but revealed.
Wanting forward, one other mannequin could be part of the gross sales charts. The three-row SUV positioned above the Cayenne remains to be in growth and is anticipated to launch with combustion engines first, with an EV probably following later. We’re more likely to hear extra about it when Porsche particulars its Technique 2035 plan this fall.

Supply: Porsche
Motor1’s Take: It’s secure to say the 911 is the brilliant spot in an in any other case disappointing first half of 2026 for Porsche. Complete deliveries fell by 16 % to 122,306 automobiles, and with the first-generation Macan dealing with imminent retirement, the second half of the 12 months doesn’t look significantly promising both.
Yesterday, the Volkswagen Group introduced plans to principally gut its lineup by eliminating as many as half of its fashions whereas slashing annual manufacturing capability by a million models. It’s too quickly to say whether or not these drastic adjustments will have an effect on Porsche, however they’re hardly a very good omen because the father or mother firm embarks on its most radical transformation since its founding.
