(PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars, Cayenne SUVs and the Panamera four-door sports sedan line-up in the United States, today announced record March sales of 3,487 vehicles.

For the year so far, PCNA has delivered 9,650 vehicles versus 7,159 during the same period last year, an increase of 34.8 percent – marking the best first quarter in PCNA history.

The 911 line enjoyed a successful sales month, with an increase of 112 percent to 990 units, up from 465 in March 2012. Demand for the Cayenne SUV also remains strong, with the diesel and GTS models accounting for 45 percent of the 1,508 Cayenne units sold.
