ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Porsche's decision to build a mid-engined supercar with internal combustion power will directly challenge Ferrari and Lamborghini's dominance in the Australian high-performance market.

The 911 will no longer be the pinnacle of Porsche's range, which could lead to a shift in customer perceptions and potentially impact sales of the iconic model.

What it means for the order bank

Australian dealers can expect increased interest in the new mid-engined supercar, potentially drawing customers away from other high-performance brands and into Porsche showrooms.

The lack of hybrid or electric power in the new supercar will appeal to enthusiasts who still crave the traditional driving experience, setting it apart from other modern hypercars like the 918 Spyder's successor.

Competitor response and pricing

Ferrari and Lamborghini will need to reassess their pricing strategies in response to the new Porsche, potentially leading to a price war in the high-performance segment.

Porsche's move will also put pressure on other manufacturers to reconsider their powertrain options, potentially leading to a resurgence in demand for internal combustion engines in high-performance vehicles.

Action plan

This week, Australian Porsche dealers should review their sales strategies and prepare to handle increased inquiries about the new mid-engined supercar, focusing on its unique selling points and traditional driving experience.
