Saying Porsche is insanely profitable sort of proves my point. They have a $49k car they've been making for 2 decades and a factory they've mostly amortized, but they sell it to you for $80k with a hilarious story that you should love 190 ft/lb of torque available at 6000 RPM because it's for purists. I say it's for apologists. Anyone who buys that story is a fool.

This is the only story I want to read about a car I'm buying, and then I want to take that car and add 200 ft/lb of torque with $1,000 ECU flash:

Faster than a Porsche 911 and can do 0-60mph in just 3.9seconds
Family estate still has room for five people and luggage space in the boot
Road safety charity says no car should be able to drive so fast
