In an increasingly rarefied car market, the news that Porsche makes noise, given the production inability to satisfy the too many requests for its models, would have diverted the production of the Boxster spider to a Volkswagen plant.
The sales boom of Porsche, like that of other luxury brands, can be explained by the growing demand from China and Russia, and also by the US recovery. Thanks to the success of the new models, in fact, in the first eight months of the year Porsche increased sales by 15% to 92.474 registrations.
The news was communicated by the Stuttgart company through a note in which it was announced that the Zuffenhausen factory, where both the 911 and the Boxster are assembled, "does not have enough capacity to respond to orders" and that therefore theChoosing to produce in Osnabruck, Volkswagen factory in Lower Saxony is "a necessary step".
In addition to necessity, driving such a decision is the will to propose ever greater integration of the brand within the Volkswagen group, which owns the entire share capital. In addition, there are practical reasons and opportunities, and all those advantages and savings that derive from the sharing of technologies and systems.
Thus, the long tradition of ties between the two car companies is revived, a story that began in 1937 when Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the Stuttgart company, was commissioned by Adolf Hitler to design the first "people's car", the historic Beetle, and then continued, with ups and downs, until today, with this new chapter.
