imo you are truly missing the Porsche philosophy:

progressive product launches with incremental performance enhances (997TT-->PK-->PDK-->TTS-->GT2-->ETC...)

This is why the performance parameters are "confined" to 30 hp etc... not for mechanical reliability et al. Let's be serious, the PK could easily achieve 50-60hp+ but that wouldn't exactly bode well for the "product line".



Agreed. Porsche is the most profitable per unit manufacturer for a reason. It makes sense also that you don't release 997TT v1 followed by v2 12 months later with an added 80hp. All the v1 owners would be pretty miffed and then the market is flooded with v1 cars which plummet in value. Then the cycle of depreciation dives deeper as v2 and v3 are released
