Porsche expects sales growth to slow this year as newly arriving models fall short of the lift generated in 2015 by the addition of the Macan compact sport utility vehicle.
A new generation of the Boxster roadster this spring and the Cayman hard-top variant later in 2016 will fuel “solid” growth, but at a slower pace than last year’s 19 percent surge to a record 225,121 deliveries, Detlev von Platen, head of sales at the unit of Volkswagen AG, said in an interview Monday. The Macan was Porsche’s best-seller last year with more than 80,000 delivered.
