Ordering A Porsche 911 Is Now Easier Than Ever

For decades, the traditional car sales model involved physically going to a dealership, conducting a test drive, and, negotiating a final purchase price. Most buyers never found this appealing, but thanks to new technologies this process is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Buying new and used vehicles can now be done entirely online from the comfort of one's home. The coronavirus pandemic hasforced automakers to move fasterin developing platforms for easy online shopping.

Porsche foresaw this new trend over a year ago when it launched its online sales pilot program in Germany and today it has announced it's expanding to eight more European countries.

Buyers in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, France, Poland, Slovenia, and Estonia can now begin buying new and used Porsches directly from dealers through a dedicated online sales channel. The UK will be added in the near future. "The sales figures and positive feedback from customers and dealers are proof that we have paved the right way for digital car sales in the future with our online sales strategy," said Barbara Frenkel, Vice President of European sales.

The online program is available for all models, whether it's a Porsche Macan or a track-focused model like a 911 GT3. The platform will later be expanded to be a marketplace for all Porsche products and services. Last year, Porsche initiated aUS online sales pilot programinvolving 25 of its 191 dealerships, and chances are this will soon expand.
