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.
I think this is the much more interesting question.
We are seeing this with every enthusiast car. Is the demand so high because people see the writing on the wall for ICE enthusiast cars? Are they just becoming the next hot thing because of car YouTubers? Is it a result of wealth disparity and wealthy people need more toys?
I’d be very interested at very specifically why demand has grown so much. The only thing any of us can do is speculate, but you’ll always have people who feel they have a definitive answer.
