Even as they prepare to launch their latest all-new product, the compact Macan sport-utility vehicle, Porsche’s top executives are already mulling over plans for what could soon become their seventh unique model line, TheDetroitBureau.com has learned.
A variety of options are under consideration, CEO Matthias Muller revealed during a series of conversations at the Leipzig complex that recently began producing the new Macan. Among the possibilities is a smaller version of the German maker’s current four-door sedan which some are referring to as a “Baby Panamera.”
“We have six models but should have seven,” Muller said during a casual dinner at the sprawling Porsche center which recently went through a 500 million Euro expansion to take on production of the Macan. The maker, he added, will soon move forward on the new product program.
