2010 Porsche Panamera Picture

The 10,000th 2010 Porsche Panamera has been sold already, after only three months on sale in Europe and two months in the U.S.
Anyone who was betting that sales of the 2010 Porsche Panamera would be hampered by the recession and a downturn in the luxury-goods market got a wake-up call from the German automaker on Monday. Porsche reported that it has built the 10,000th Panamera and that top-of-the-line versions of the sedan are selling at a brisk pace.

Porsche said the $93,800 Panamera 4S is "proving particularly popular," accounting for 44 percent of sales. The Panamera Turbo, with a price tag of $132,600, accounts for 36 percent of sales, while the $89,800 Panamera S accounts for 20 percent of sales.

In a statement, Porsche said that "sales of the Panamera have really taken off."

The milestone 10,000 Panamera is a 500-horsepower platinum silver metallic Turbo. It is bound for a customer in Singapore.
