These things may appear unnecessary on a sports car, but the sports car driver has changed over the last 10-15 years. Most people have more than one car and in the family they might have 4 or 5. So a Porsche or any expensive car is required to have features that you come across on your cheaper runabout.. If a Golf or a C-class 180K has dual zone climate control as standard how can Porsche explain this omission to customers? The excuse that it adds weight or impairs the purity of the car is not bought by 99% of buyers.

Sports cars enthusiasts do not need that fluff and added weight. Your last sense says it all - 99% of the buyers are not sports cars enthusiasts.


The problem that Porsche face is that with this single model in its various guises they have to compete against anything from Ferrari to BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar etc. Therefore the specification and identity are often confused.

But nevertheless the 1% hardcore can buy a clubsport GT3 (or RS) w/o a/c, radio/cd etc.So even those are still catered for.
