Porsche is preparing a major restructuring, raising prices on its vehicles while cutting roughly a quarter of its workforce, according to a New York Times report. The plan comes as the German luxury carmaker grapples with weak demand, particularly in China, a key market, under parent company Volkswagen. The move has drawn attention as a sign of mounting pressure across the premium auto industry amid slowing sales and rising costs.
Why now: Porsche's combination of steep job cuts and higher prices signals deep trouble at an iconic carmaker, driven largely by collapsing demand in China.
