Not sure it's all that relevant.

Porsche's global SUV sales isn't anywhere near 80%.

It sold 256,255 vehicles globally in 2018, and of the total, about 157,000 came from Macan and Cayenne. That's about 60%.

This is actually pretty remarkable considering that the non-SUV vehicles are 911, 718 (Boxsters, Cayman) and Panamera. They are either impractical (718) or very expensive (Panamera), or both (911).
One interesting point about Porsche is that I hardly see their vehicles in the streets and highways of Germany and most of Europe for that matter.

I would gather the bulk of production is exported and sold elsewhere?
