Porsche car sales jump 36 percent

German sports carmaker Porsche has sold 60,650 cars in the first six months of the year, a 36 percent increase on a year ago, sales chief Bernhard Maier told news agency dpa. He also confirmed Porsche expects to reach annual sales of over 100,000 for the first time this year, with the Cayenne SUV model proving a particularly good seller.
Maier said however, this popularity had resulted in long waiting times for some models. "In Germany with the Cayenne for example it can sometime be between 6 and 12 months depending on specification," he said.
