If I understood the figures well Porsche sold 16.919 units of the 992 models during the first half of 2020.
If you consider that this is a model range starting from €104.000 and half of the range has not been available during the entire period in question, in my way of thinking this is an amazing number of 911s sold.
By way of comparison, It might take McLaren some decades or perhaps a good part of the 21st century to sell this number of their Sports Series cars, provided that they survive 
991+992 in 2019 was about 36k cars with interruption of sale to swap the models, just to compare...
Already this year 2 or 3 months have been completely lost with economic repercussions for a longer period. In spite of that I foresee at least 25.000 992s and possibly 30.000 until the end of the year.
The base Carrera is an excellent product and at reasonable cost. Unless you max out everyday on the Autobahn you don't need more. Also, the engine of the S model is the same only the boost changes. In the N/A era the S model had the benefit of a bigger engine in terms of cc and the engine and driving characteristics were different. Not so much anymore.
Also, something important to consider is PAG is the VW cash cow and VW is in very deep debt, 192 billions biggest debt for a company in the world. that could turn the story into a drastic change. 
I think that VW is safe given the its importance for Germany in terms of jobs, exports and why not, prestige. They cannot allow VW to fail. If taken over by the German government, we might see a rationalization of the brand range. I wonder if SEAT make any money or whether it is relevant to subsidize the industries and the image of other countries through Bentley and Lamborghini. It was publicized recently that Bentley's profitability was not satisfactory and I bet that Lamborghini's contribution is small and mostly because of the Urus.
