Talks about the shift in Porsche making the 911 much more unobtainable (special editions, GT cars, etc.) and prioritizing exclusivity over getting cars in the hands of drivers. A shame really if you ask me, but profits drive business and low volume sports cars aren’t easy to make money on. Thankfully there is the Porsche used market that’s much more accessible as long as you aren’t after some unicorn like the 918.
What’s changed? What am I missing?
I’ve never once in my life felt like Porsche was about getting cars in the hands of drivers. In my mind, they’ve always been a brand that’s about exclusivity and status.
Maybe I just haven’t been keeping up with the brand.
Not really true, you used to (over a decade ago) be able to walk into a dealer and order a GT3 for under MSRP
