This might be a thread fail but I'll give it a shot anyways :p
Does anyone have any information about Porsche in the recent years? Information like reasons of growth / market structure / cost structure (degree of fixed cost & economies of scale) and all those good stuff will help me out a lot!
Anything will help :)
Thank you all.

From my understanding, Porsche will not publicize pay, compesation nor its financial report. Thus it got kicked of the German stock board I believe.

Maybe check VW as well since Porsche has bought 30% of VW.

I could be wrong but I know I read that a year or two ago.
Try 6speedonline or Rennlist.

FYI, confirmation may take awhile. :sad:
Let's see, Porsche is the most profitable car company today as in per car sold. The 911 sold 30k units 2 years ago, the most ever. The Cayenne, their first SUV is uber profitable for them, they based it off the TOurag but made VW spend their money on its development lol.
They were in the red in the early 1990s until Wienderking (not spelled right) took over in the early 1990s. One of his first tough jobs was firing 5k. He said it was not about firing 5k jobs but saving 10k jobs or so.
He studied the Toyota method for engineering. The Boxster first came than the new 996 911, water cooled for the first time. Both shared tons of parts including the entire front end. Both sold in droves.
Since they share so many parts, well add a high asking price and you can see how they are so profitable.
Porsche as of late has been buying VW shares and it trying to take control of the VW board.
