Porsche 911 Shines as Others Falter in Q1 2026
Porsche posted a mixed Q1 2026: the 911 surged in the U.S. with 3,826 deliveries (up 83% YoY) while global sales fell 15% and U.S. volumes slipped 12.5%. The decline is driven by the end of the 718 Boxster/Cayman line (only 206 units in Q1) and the planned phase-out of ICE Macan this summer. In the U.S., Macan, Cayenne, Panamera and Taycan also declined, though the Cayenne Electric is expected later this summer. A new 911 variant debuts on April 14, providing halo potential, but Porsche’s long-term health depends on replacing the 718 and combustion Macan amid broader EV adoption challenges.
