Porsche Cars North America has reported July sales of 2,803 cars, a 1-percent increase over July of 2011's 2,803.

Porsche has sold 19,253 cars so far this year, a 5-percent increase over the 18,310 it had sold by August 1 last year.

"Our all-new Boxster and 911 models continue to be in high-demand," Detlev von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, said in a statement. "In fact, for the year, we've sold 46 percent more 911 sports cars this year than last year - a tribute to the success of the new, seventh-generation 911."

The Boxster model sold 359 units, a 77-percent increase over the same month last year. July was the first full month in which the 2013 Boxster was available. Starting prices for the Boxster are $49,500 for the regular Boxster, and $60,900 for the Boxster S.

In a sales chart released by Porsche, Boxster and Cayman sales were lumped together, totalling 377 units. It seems then that the Cayman, with a starting range of $51,900 for the Cayman to $66,300 for the Cayman R, sold only 18 units last month.

The Cayenne SUV, whose starting prices range from $48,850 for the basic to $108,750 for the turbo, saw a decrease in sales. The model sold 1,119 units in July, versus 1,342 the previous July.

The Panamera, with a starting price of $78,850 for a basic model versus $175,300 for the Turbo S, sold 627 units, eight cars more than July of 2011's 619.
