If you were asked to guess where the Porsche 911 sells better than any other car, you’d probably say Southern California, Monaco, or maybe a leafy corner of Switzerland. You would not say Andorra—a tiny mountain principality wedged between France and Spain with fewer residents than a medium-sized European suburb.
And yet, here we are.
In 2025, Andorra registered 86 new Porsche 911s, making it the best-selling car in the entire country. Not the best-selling sports car. Not the best-selling luxury coupe. The best-selling car, period – beating Toyota, Hyundai and all the other brands that usually dominate European sales charts.
In a market that sells fewer than 2,500 new cars per year, that figure is as surreal as seeing a GT3 parked at a grocery store. But in Andorra, it makes perfect sense.
The Monaco of the Pyrenees
Andorra’s reputation is built on three things: skiing, mountains, and taxes—or more precisely, the lack of them. With one of Europe’s most favorable tax systems, the country attracts wealthy residents, professional athletes, digital nomads, and business owners who like their income lightly taxed and their garages heavily stocked.
The result is a new-car market that behaves like nothing else in Europe.
Where most countries revolve around subcompact hatchbacks and budget crossovers, Andorra’s streets are dominated by performance cars, luxury SUVs, and six-figure toys. The Porsche 911 isn’t a weekend indulgence here—it’s a daily driver.
When you live in a compact, affluent, mountain-road-rich country with minimal traffic and a healthy number of racetrack-quality passes, the idea of commuting in a 911 starts to feel downright logical.
A Sports Car Beats the Sensible Stuff
That the 911 topped the chart at all is astonishing. That it did so again in 2025—growing from 83 to 86 registrations—feels almost absurd.
To put that in context: the Toyota Yaris Cross, a practical, sensible, fuel-efficient compact SUV, finished second with 63 sales. The Seat Arona, Spain’s affordable home-team crossover, came third with 57.
Those are the kinds of cars that lead sales in normal countries.
Andorra, meanwhile, chose a rear-engine German sports car that can cost as much as €340,000.
Last year, Porsche’s dominance was even more extreme, with the Cayenne and Macan also beating mainstream superminis. In 2025, the lead is slimmer—but the symbolism remains staggering: a 911 still outsells everything.
Brand Rankings from an Alternate Reality
Even stranger than the model rankings is the brand leaderboard.
Despite not placing a single car in the top 10, BMW was Andorra’s best-selling brand with 204 registrations, narrowly beating Mercedes (200).
Toyota, Ford, and Hyundai followed, but the real jaw-dropper comes further down the list:
Ferrari sold 56 cars in Andorra in 2025.
That’s more than one Ferrari per 1,500 residents.
For comparison, Spain—a country of 48 million people—registered just 109 new Ferraris in the same year. In other words, Andorra bought more than half as many Ferraris with one-five-hundredth the population.
That’s not a market anomaly. That’s a statistical mic drop.
What Andorra Tells Us About Cars and Money
Andorra is what happens when geography, wealth, and tax policy collide in a small, dense, car-friendly bubble. People who move there don’t need economical transportation—they need something entertaining to drive between ski resorts, cafés, and mountain villas.
And if you’re going to buy one perfect all-around sports car, the Porsche 911 still makes more sense than almost anything else on the road. It’s fast, usable, reliable, comfortable, and endlessly configurable. In Andorra, it isn’t just a status symbol—it’s the default choice.
Everywhere else, the 911 is a dream car.
In Andorra, it’s just what you buy when you need to go shopping.
