Now the 3.4 Carrera costs 60% more than the 3.4 Boxster S. 

not true in the UK.

list Boxster S: around £46k

list C2: around £71k

But C2 in the UK has full leather interior, PCM and climate control, all of which are options on the 981S. These options add around £4k, taking 981 cost to £50k, like for like. As a result, 991 costs about 40% more than 981S.

To be fair, then I would compare it to the 911 Carrera cabriolet which is GBP 79.9 rather than the coupe. The Boxster comes with a foldable soft-top as standard, the 911 not.

The price difference between the 911 and the Boxster is both genius and ridiculous at the same time. A majority of the components are shared between the cars, including the engine and the gearbox. It does not cost more to build a 991 than a 981.
