ATLANTA, Feb. 1, 2019 -- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of the Porsche 911, 718 Boxster and Cayman, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan model lines, today announced that January retail sales climbed 12.5 percent from a year earlier to 5,419. The total marked an all-time January record, following a record year in 2018.

The new, more powerful Cayenne drove the month's growth as S and Turbo models rounded out the lineup on showroom floors. Deliveries of all three variants combined rose 65.1 percent in January year-on-year to 2,150 vehicles. The iconic Porsche 911 also charged ahead, increasing 29.1 percent to 1,101 deliveries ahead of the arrival of the next generation later this year.
