Shouldn't the lower powered 4S and base models have better range?

Porsche is also conservative in their performance numbers by up to 1/2 second 0-60. That would place the Turbo S around 2.1, the Turbo mid 2s, and 4S low 3s to 60mph.

Low to mid 3 seconds to 60 is good enough for a family sedan and I would gladly pay more for the higher quality, better looking vehicle with a much nicer interior.
2.1 seconds is wishful thinking. The cars been tested and it's not even close.
