For Porsche it's Euro 14.008,-- for each car an the rest is earning from financial transaction.
The exact number is hard to tell, as PAG's financial report does not disclose all the figures you'd need to compute this figure. But if you analyse the financial statements you can compute a reasonable profit-range for the car business at least. As per my own analysis the average operating profit (EBIT) per car in FY 05/06 has been somewhere between 10k Euro and 12k Euro per car (average sales price per car 62,566 Euro ). Almost half of PAG's consolidated earnings are generated by non-core business and financial operations.
@ Easy: yes, the B&D figures are just consolidated earnings divided by sold cars. It not only gives a wrong picture (as they neglect sales and profit from non core activities), it's also nonsense to compare this number with other carmakers as the portion of sales/profit from non-core and financial operations vary quite significantly if you compare several carmakers.
