"This is a new level of Porsche fascination. May was the first time our dealers delivered more than 5,000 cars a month for two months in a row, after April's all-time record of 5,570," said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of PCNA. "The story of this year so far is the strong performance across our model lines, from the iconic Porsche 911 and 718 to our new generation Panamera and best-selling Macan."May growth leaders were the 718 Boxster and Cayman, which combined grew 31.8 percent from May 2017, followed by the Macan at 29.5 percent. Panamera sales rose 16.7 percent from a year ago and the Porsche 911 was up 6.7 percent. Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales in the U.S. totaled 2,146 vehicles in May, up 37.7 percent year-over-year.
