The new GT3 is the most powerful naturally-aspirated 911 Porsche has ever produced.

Porsche AG confirmed that 2014 has been a banner year for the makers of high-priced German automobiles: sales for Porsche as well as luxury German makers are at or near all-time highs.

With 2014 nearly complete, Porsche is moving along in high gear as it cruises to record worldwide sales again this year. During November alone, Porsche delivered 17,700 vehicles – an increase of 25% over the same month last year, according to the German automaker.

“This strong November is evidence that our strategy is working extremely well,” said Bernhard Maier, Member of the Executive Board – Sales and Marketing, Porsche AG. “It also confirms our commitment to taking advantage of every opportunity presented in the global markets,” he said.

Overall, sales increases of expensive, luxury brands have outpaced those of mass-market brands and Porsche has clearly benefited from the trend. BMW executives have said they expect to sell more than 2 million vehicles this year and Mercedes-Benz and Audi are also on the verge of setting new sales records.

Audi was among many automakers that reported 47 consecutive month sales increases in the U.S.

Porsche has posted double-digit sales increases in key markets around the world, including Europe where its sales are up 15.7% while in China Porsche sales have climbed 18%. Sales in the U.S. have climbed 12%, according to new figures released by Porsche AG.

Global deliveries by Porsche to customers from January to November of this year totaled more than 169,000 vehicles, exceeding the overall total for 2013 of 162,145 new vehicles. Overall sales grew 15 percent over the same period in 2013.

In Europe, Porsche delivered 54,500 vehicles from January to November 2014 with the domestic German market accounting for 22,200 of the sales. The American region, which includes the U.S., also showed a significant increase over last year with a total of 51,600 deliveries.

Porsche’s strong showing over the past two years reflect the success of new products such as the latest version of the 911 and a new small sport utility vehicle, the Porsche Macan. The strong showing also allays fears that Porsche would lose some of panache once it was taken over by Volkswagen AG.

Meanwhile, Porsche has announced it is ending sales of the 918 Spyder hybrid super sports car. With a limited run of 918 units, the majority of the cars – 297 – will be shipped from the Zuffenhausen manufactory to buyers in the USA. In both Germany and China there are already around 100 owners who have taken delivery of the super sports car.

The sports car maker isn’t alone. Audi’s global sales are approaching 1.7 million units worldwide for this year, and through November its seen a 10.1% jump. China and the U.S. are leading the sales charge for Audi with increases of 16.4% and 15.4% respectively. In the U.S., sales have increased for 47 consecutive months.

Our new models have made a very good start, while our core models continue to record a steady increase in sales. We can now be confident of achieving our target of selling over two million vehicles by the end of the year, a new record for the BMW Group.”
