For the affluent buyer, and there are plenty of them, the price of a turbo S does not matter a bit.

 

That is correct. The price they paid for a car is like a status symbol for some people.

True story, I just heard this exchange today in person.

There is this 20 year old mainland Chinese kid walked into my Porsche dealership, he sat down with the sales manager and said, "my mom gave me 200k to buy a car, I want a new Cayenne Turbo"

Manager: "The new Cayenne has arrived yet, but we still have some 2018 Cayenne GTSs at around 135k"

Kid: "That's too cheap. I would look bad"

Manager: "What about Panamera 4S? We have a loaded one of the new generation in stock"

Kid: "No, I want a Turbo badge"

Manager: "What about a 911 Turbo S?, we have a few certified pre-owned ones that's right in your spending ballpark"

Kid: "Can't. Mom said it needs to have 4 doors"

Manager: "I am sorry, that's all we have right now if you don't want to wait."

Kid: "Let me go home and ask my mom again."
