Porsche has been making an SUV for almost two decades now. It now makes two, as well as a saloon and estate car (well, a pair of posh hatchbacks that pretend to be a saloon and estate car). Yet the most committed purists still might want look away now; in 2018, less than a quarter of Porsches sold were what you"d traditionally call a sports car. Of the 256,255 Porsches sold last year up 10,000 on 2017, incidentally a stonking 157,489 were either a Macan or Cayenne, with an additional 38,443 being Panameras. The remaining fraction is biased heavily towards the 911, with nearly 36,000 sold in the final year of the 991-generation car, the 718 Boxster and Cayman selling a combined 24,750.
