Abstract
Porsche is a famous sports car brand, and its history can be traced back to 1900, and it has also overcome many crises during this period. At that time, Porsche unlike other sports car brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin, Porsche broke with conventional thinking and started making SUVs. It was this potentially damaging decision that allowed Porsche to develop. And today it has not only the most advanced technology but also the most profitable sports car brand. Therefore, in this paper, the marketing strategy of Porsche is mainly studied by applying the marketing theory of 4Ps. The study found that the reason why Porsche can continue to make profits is because of its precise control of consumer demand, strong product strength, marketing strategy for luxury brand image, and flexible strategies for responding to different regions.
