    and that helps them do this....
    "Porsche makes $US17,250 profit on every car, but BMW and Daimler make $US5000


    Part of the money magic is simply price. Porsche doesn't make cheap cars. Even luxury players like Mercedes occasionally offer more pedestrian versions at narrower margins to get aspiring buyers into the family. And make no mistake, Porsche customers are paying a premium for the brand's reputation.

    Ferrari knows this game well. Its operating profit equates to almost $US90,000 a vehicle. But about 30 per cent of Ferrari's business comes from engines, key chains, amusement parks, and other things that don't have wheels. What's more, the company makes only about 8000 cars a year, scrimping on supply to keep prices high.


    Porsche isn't that precious any more. In terms of product, by now it's about one-tenth the size of BMW, and in the past three years has boosted its annual output by 47 per cent. That ramp-up comprises the company's new 911 GT3 sports car, which commands $US144,000 and up. Plus, the company's profit spike has coincided with the launch of its most affordable model. Hitting dealerships in 2014, the Macan SUV now accounts for roughly 40 per cent of Porsche sales."
